We nurture initiatives that reconnect humans with indigenous wisdom: "The Earth and myself are of one mind".
We move towards eco-centric consciousness instead of ego-centric.
We believe that the trauma of control can be healed through dance and connection to Earth in a spiritual way. This way we only can learn from indigenous people.
We explore indigenous ways of being, symbiotic with nature.
each other and the Earth the way we learnt from Indigenous people
Retreat/Coliving in Cape Town2025 - ongoing
Experience Cape Town through the eyes of a local! Our retreats in Cape Town are designed for those who recognise nature and movement as their source of inspiration, physical wellbeing and community building.
The Eco Villa, a river front 5-bedroom sanctuary, supports indigenous wisdom in its all forms. Coliving is therefore designed to support like minded individuals on their journey to a deeper connection with nature, Earth and their own body.
We invite facilitators with groups 4-11 people to run their programs and like minded individuals to join them. It is a tranquil space to rewild your spirit, rejuvenate your body and embrace meaningful connections.
