The Spring Within - Day Retreat

A Spring Equinox Wellness Day Retreat in Nature...

Facilitated by Kathleen Booyse, Margot van Spaandonk & Micho Cosmo.

Allow yourself to journey through movement, breath, stillness, nature, and live handpan sound healing.

As soon as winter gently releases its hold and the first signs of spring begin to emerge, we invite you to step into a day of renewal, balance, and inner awakening.

A day to pause, reset, and reconnect with yourself through movement, breath, stillness, nature, and the healing resonance of live handpan music.

Set within the regenerative landscape of Be Hive at Boschendal, surrounded by mountains, forest, and open fields, The Spring Within offers a sanctuary to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself and the rhythms of nature.

Throughout this carefully curated day, you will be guided through a gentle yet powerful journey designed to mirror the energy of spring itself. Moving from grounding and awakening, through expansion, release, and deep rest, towards renewal, reflection, and new beginnings. Together, we will explore what is ready to awaken, bloom, and grow within us.

The day includes nourishing yoga practices, guided pranayama and breathwork, meditation, deep rest, mindful reflection, and meaningful connection with nature.

A nourishing vegetarian lunch is part of our mindful retreat experience, with seasonal ingredients freshly harvested from Boschendal's indigenous Food Forest. Paired with artisanal farm produce, each meal celebrates the valley's rich biodiversity and regenerative approach to farming. Every plate is fresh, wholesome, and deeply connected to the land. Gluten-free and vegan options are available. Tea and coffee is included for the day.

Woven throughout the retreat is the soothing resonance of the handpan, played live by Micho Cosmo. More than a musical accompaniment, its calming and meditative tones become an integral part of the experience. The day culminates in an immersive handpan sound healing journey, inviting profound relaxation, nervous system restoration, emotional balance, and inner renewal.

Be Hive Cape Winelands is a unique regenerative space designed to support meaningful connection, and a more nature-connected way of being. Surrounded by the wild beauty of Boschendal, it offers the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect, and remember what truly matters.

Whether you are seeking renewal, rest, inspiration, or simply a day to reconnect with yourself, this retreat offers an opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life and return to your own inner landscape.
