‘Authenticity is letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are.’ – Brene Brown

Join us for a 4 day Women’s Retreat on 7 – 11 August within the in the beautiful natural sanctuary of Bodhi Khaya. Facilitated by Julie Grant and Olivia Moon, this retreat will centre around mind-body-based healing modalities in order to regulate the nervous system, break through self-limiting beliefs and reconnect with our intuitive knowing. We cannot show up authentically from a dysregulated state, which is why the body and subconscious mind hold the key to embodying our uniquely Authentic Self in our every day lives.

Over the 4 days, we will explore authenticity on both a conceptual and experiential level. You will be guided through powerful practices, tools and teachings that can help you to finally shed the layers that unconsciously block your true essence, so that you can step forward embodied in your wholeness. Magic happens when women come together to hold space for one another’s healing. Join us for an unforgettable 4 days of connection to nature, to our true nature and to what it means to be embodied in our authentic feminine expression.

What is microdosing?

Microdosing involves taking sub-perceptual doses of certain plant medicines in order to gently, and incrementally, heal and release old programs and patterns, as well as enhance levels of creativity, energy, focus, and improve relational skills.

What microdosers usually notice are profoundly positive changes to how they think and feel, which is what has driven the explosion of interest in working with psychedelics to support health and wellness.

With each new moment, we begin again. 

Begin your journey into the practice of yoga at this 3 day beginner-focussed yoga retreat, facilitated by Bodhi Khaya’s resident yoga teachers Olivia Moon and Belinda van der Merwe. Whether you are brand new to the mat or have attended a few classes and want some more specific guidance, this retreat is for you. 

What we have found is that so many people miss out on the benefits of yoga as they believe they are not flexible enough or ‘can’t touch their toes’. But the practice of yoga is so much more than downward facing dog, it is a way of being that allows us to find a sense of much needed balance on a mind, body and soul level. It is a way to guide us into the present moment, breath by breath, we begin again.

During this retreat we will guide you through the foundations of yoga, both on a practical and philosophical level, so that you will leave the weekend feeling inspired to establish your own daily practice, more confident to attend group classes and with a sense of rejuvenation after a weekend spent connecting with yourself in nature.

“Through the portal of silence, the healing sun of wisdom and peace will shine upon you.” – Paramahansa Yogananda

Experience the silence of being at Bodhi Khaya’s 7 Day Silent Retreat. This longer retreat invites you to take a week out of the busy-ness of your life to connect with your inner being through the profound practice of silence. Join us for 7 days and 7 nights of true self observation and deep rest, gently guided, yet with the freedom to intuitively explore the landscape, both within and without.

Get quiet, go within and listen to the sounds of nature in our eco-spiritual sanctuary, while moving through an optional daily schedule of meditation, yoga flow, breathwork, Chi Kung, guided silent nature walks, evening restorative yoga, soul-nourishing mindful meals and plenty of free time for rest, renewal and reflection.

Bodhi Khaya offers up a safe space for you to delve deep within, while being held by the wild, serene natural environment. Spend your days exploring in nature, or curl up next to the fire at one of our indoor spaces with a cup of tea and a good book. All is welcome. Give yourself permission to reconnect to your inner nature though the sacred practice of silence.

All included (and optional)

• 3 Daily Meditation sessions

• Teacher guidance and support

On Noble Silence 

The practice of Noble Silence means to refrain from all outward communication through both speaking and body language. We ask that all those who attend commit to holding this powerful silent container. None of the sessions and activities are compulsory, yet we hold the silence with the strongest integrity. Unlike some other practices of Noble Silence, reading and writing is permitted.

On Meditation 

This is not a meditation retreat as much as it is a silent retreat. We offer 3, mostly unguided, meditation sessions per day, all optional. We will not be teaching a specific style of mediation, giving you the space to continue with your current practice. Each session will be a combination of sitting and walking meditation, or sitting only, depending on the instructor. You are always welcome to sit the whole time. For those new to meditation and who would like to learn, meditation instruction, support and guidance is available.

When we begin to recognise the intrinsic connection between our mind, body and spirit, we can embrace the fullness of ourselves as a whole being. 

“Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open.”― B.K.S. Iyengar

“The body is not a mindless machine; the body and mind are one.” 
― Candace B. Pert

Join us at beautiful Bodhi Khaya for our 3 day Whole Being Women’s Retreat, facilitated by Holistic Wellness Coach,  Conscious Breathwork Facilitator and Yoga Teacher, Olivia Moon and Ayurvedic and Integrative Health Practitioner, Herbalist and Women's Health Specialist, Taleszia Raubenheimer.

Working with the principles of Mind-Body Connection, we will explore how to work with the Nervous System, Hormones, Emotions, Energetics, Mindset, Somatics, Breathwork, Herbalism, Nutrition, Movement, Gut Health and more in order to come back to a state of balance both within and without. We will journey to the root cause of imbalance, while offering practical tools and practices that you can use in your life to bring you into a state of regulation and homestasis - the pathway to a more fulfilling, happier life.

Together we will learn to restore and reintegrate the seemingly fragmented parts of ourselves, cultivating an embodied awareness of the intrinsic connection between our physical (body) and energetic (mind, emotions, soul) selves. Within the supportive and held space of an all women retreat, we will practice re-membering our innate our wholeness.

Healing does not happen in a vacuum. The cause and effect of dis-ease - ranging from stress, depression and anxiety to chronic illness, are interlinked. To heal one, we must address the other. This is the path of recognising yourself as a whole being, living a holistic life where ALL the parts of us get to be heard.

Restore and Balance Your Life Force Energy on a Mind, Body & Soul Level 

“Every cell in our body has the capacity to hold infinity. Let us tap the full potential that nature has bestowed on us, the potential to hold infinity in every cell of the body. For that, we must practice meditation regularly. Then our physiology undergoes a change and every cell in the body is filled with prana – life force. As the level of prana in the body rises, we bubble with joy.” ~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Join us for a 3 Day Ayurvedic Yoga Retreat within the exquisite nature of Bodhi Khaya, with a focus on elevating our natural life force energy, also known as Prana, on a mind, body and soul level. Be guided by certified Ayurvedic Practitioner and Yoga Teacher, Taleszia Raubenheimer and Holistic Wellness Coach, Conscious Breathwork Facilitator and Yoga Teacher, Olivia Moon on a journey to reigniting and rebalancing your whole body and being. In Sanskrit, the word Prana means both ‘Breath’ and ‘Life Force Energy’. Through a series of Ayurvedic and Yogic Practices, a variety of Breathwork and Kundalini Kriyas, a sharing of practical everyday tools that you can use to elevate your life force in your own life, and so much more, this retreat is a space to shed and release the things that drain your energy, while restoring your natural flow of Prana, in order to have a powerful and lasting impact on your life.

“We are like an endless blooming flower, forever unfolding. As the older petals fade and drop off, new ones are constantly coming forth, creating ever-lasting beauty”

Join us for a heart-activating Women’s Retreat at the Wild Pod at Bodhi Khaya. This intimate gathering, held by Maree Love and Olivia Moon, is a safe space to explore your depths through guided ritual, workshops and practices designed to soften your layers of ‘protection’ and open to the guidance of your own heart. 

Over the 3 days you will reconnect with your divine feminine essence and witness your unfolding, like the petals of the ever-unfolding rose, as we release what no longer serves us in order to make space to bloom as our highest, most authentic self. 

Learn to let go of self sabotage and step into a space of unconditional self love by breaking the patterns that limit us from fully loving and accepting ourselves. 

Through guided embodiment and self care practices, conscious breathwork, yoga, sound healing, cacao ceremony, workshops, integration tools, women’s circles, delicious food, solo reflection time, nature walks and the support of sisterhood to bring you back home to who you really are.  

Are you ready to start 2024 as your most Aligned version of self? Join my 10 Day New Year Kick Start Alignment Challenge! This challenge is designed to cultivate a foundation of positive daily practices in order for you to build your dream life in 2024. 

 Learn how to overcome self-sabotage for good so that you can break the cycle of bad habits and step into your best self in the new year and beyond. 

 This challenge is based on the 5 tools and practices that, when done consistently, have been shown to bring us into a space of alignment, regulate our nervous system and raise our vibration. 

These are:

• Breathwork 

• Meditation

• Movement

• Journalling

• Time in Nature 

 The New Year Alignment Challenge offers you a container to be held accountable for showing up for yourself on a daily basis, cultivating more balance and wholeness in all areas of your life. 

Experience proven coaching techniques, powerful habit-building strategies, nervous system regulation tools, conscious breathwork journeys and mindfulness practices with a framework of simple daily activities that will bring you into a space of alignment with your happiest, healthiest self. 

Establishing a daily self care practice creates a powerful foundation for growth. It allows us to shift, grow, transform and live the life that is meant for us. The problem is that many of us struggle to stick with it, and even with the best intentions, self care tends to fall to the bottom of the priority list. Information, support and accountability are what can make the difference between consistency and self-sabotage, and this is why I created this challenge.

How the Challenge Works 

Over the 10 days, we will meet each morning at 06:00am SAST via Zoom for a 40 minute practice that will consist of yoga Breathwork and meditation. In addition to that, I will share a set of journal prompts that have been shown to be a powerful tool for manifestation, and you will be accountable to spend your time in nature. If you would like to do your own practices and join the challenge just for the calls and accountability, you are more than welcome!

Start your year with a full body, mind and soul refresh at our 3 day Bodhi Cleanse Detox Retreat, guided by Integrative Nutritionist and Kinesiologist, Kate Arnott and Holistic Wellness Coach, Olivia Moon.

Let Breath Be Your Medicine 

Experience the transformational power of the breath at this 3 day Conscious Breathwork Retreat at Bodhi Khaya guided by Nathan Maingard and Olivia Moon.

The breath is so much more than just oxygen. It is our life force energy that has the power to shift, unblock and heal on a mind, body and soul level by regulating the nervous system and bringing us back into alignment. This retreat is an opportunity to reconnect to your inner truth by uncovering and dissolving the layers of conditioning, using the breath as your medicine to bring us back into the beauty of oneness versus the illusion of separateness.

Conscious Breathwork is a breathing technique that induces an altered state of consciousness, activating the bodies’ inner healing intelligence, expanding awareness and relieving physical tension and stress in the body, as well as clearing past trauma  and releasing unprocessed emotions.

Breathwork cleanses the body, is powerfully insightful, unblocks stuck energy and rebalances your being on all levels, creating positive shifts that you will carry with you well beyond the weekend.

Join in for a schedule of soulful practices in order for you to explore your body, mind and breath and connect more deeply with your true nature.
