Holistic Adventure Retreat in the Cederberg

5 Night Holistic Adventure Retreat in the Cederberg, South Africa: 23 – 28 October 2022

This 5 Night Holistic Adventure Retreat, combines hiking and biking with yoga, meditation, breath work and wellness in the majestic outdoors.

This Holistic Adventure Reboot Retreat promises to reset the body and the mind.  Join adventure enthusiast Kayden Kleinhans and his team of accomplished healers, culinary health experts and adventure guides for a unique life-changing journey. Reset and reconnect with ourselves and nature.

We are living fast-paced and stressful lives because we are detached from community, rituals and nature. We have an online existence and depression and anxiety are on the rise. Our modern lives are becoming disjointed and disconnected from the natural rhythms and cycles of nature and as a result, we are spending more and more time behind screens. The knock-on effects of the pandemic are taking their toll on people’s mental and physical health.  The need is to get out in nature, get active and care for our physical and mental health.

This holistic adventure retreat combines the endorphin manufacturing magic of outdoor adventure activities in beautiful locations in the Cederberg mountains with ancient, holistic healing techniques. Expect to feel amazing.

Location

The Cederberg is a magical mountain wonderland with unique rock formations. It has clean water and ancient cave art from indigenous Khoisan tribes. This Western Cape location in South Africa is known for some of the best night skies in the Southern Hemisphere. We couldn’t think of a better space to take you on a moving meditation through nature.

Our Holistic Adventure Reboot Retreat is a bespoke, exclusive experience.  The group is small.  This five-night retreat takes place over the weekend closest to the new moon. This way we reduce exposure to moonlight and increase the opportunity for stargazing which the region is famous for.

We have specialised a team of culinary experts, healers, instructors, teachers, indigenous elders and adventure guides to make this retreat the unique, transformational experience it is.

5 NIGHTS, 6 DAYS moving through the majestic Cederberg mountains on human energy.
