Expressive Arts Therapy and Family Constellations Retreat

Join one of the group retreats scheduled in the year. We can accommodate a maximum of 10 and a minimum of 5 participants.

  • These retreats are suited to anyone who is grappling with a particular challenge in their life currently, like navigating a separation, empty nest, dealing with loss, or a recurring issue that refuses to resolve or simply wish to deepen their connection with the natural environment, increase self awareness and take another step on their healing journey.
  • We will build our relationship with the natural environment and listen to its great wisdom
  • We will use art making, movement and play remember our strengths and resources and to enable integration and insight.
  • We will use the methodology of Family Constellations to help us understand where we have gotten entangled and where we can receive support from previous generations.
  • We will orient towards the present moment in order to gain perspective as well as to make healthier choices going forward.
  • Each day we will do 1 or 2 constellations and work with writing, art making, movement and connecting with the natural environment to enable insight, release and integration.

There will also be time to go for walks in the mountains, forest and veld on your own or with other group members. You will be invited to disconnect from the noise to listen more deeply.
You will have the opportunity to benefit from the group wisdom and discover you are not alone on your journey.
These retreats are not suited to anyone who is in active addiction, those with very severe mental health issues or someone that has experienced a significant, very recent loss.
Your co-travellers will be some of your most valuable teachers.
You will share delicious, farm-style, homemade meals, sleep in comfortable beds in the cottages and caravans in the extraordinary amphitheater of the Sneeuberg mountains.
You may arrive a day before the workshop starts or stay on an extra day at no extra charge (however meals are not included on the extra days).
Fee for the Retreat is R7500 all included. Subsidised places are available.
