14-17 November | Magaliesburg

 Join us for a unique 4-day, 3-night Elemental and Plant Communication Retreat.

This extraordinary retreat offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity for individuals who are genuinely interested in acquiring the knowledge and skills to establish and deepen a tangible connection with the natural world. During this retreat, you'll gain techniques, practices and direct experience of how to harmonize the elements within your body while connecting with a specific plant of choice. 

Our program includes 3 weeks preparation of mind and body with daily journaling, guided meditations and check ins. On the retreat participants will have the chance to explore the concept of a plant "ally" - how to begin to communicate with plants through meditation, fasting, singing, poetry and nature-based shamanic practices.

This is a retreat that weaves myth, magic and shamanic mystery into a visceral, practical and embodied structure.
