Return to Your Essence

There comes a time when we feel the quiet call to return—not to a place, but to ourselves.

To the stillness beneath the noise. To the breath we forgot we were holding. To the essence of who we truly are. “Return to Your Essence” is a sacred gathering designed for women who are ready to remember. To soften. To reconnect with the elemental force that lives within: the womb, the heart, the breath, the body.

Hosted in the tranquil embrace of Bodhi Khaya Nature Retreat in Stanford, Western Cape, this immersive experience invites you to slow down, breathe, and gently return to your higher self. Across three days and two soul-soothing nights, you are invited to shed the demands of daily life and rest into a space where there is nothing to prove, and nowhere to be but here.

Through meditation, breathwork, womb wellness, journaling, conscious movement, and silent walks, you’ll be held in rhythms that nourish, restore, and guide you back home. From sunrise strolls through milkwood forests to firelit evenings under starlit skies, every moment becomes a sacred invitation to live with presence, wholeness, and intention.
