Couples Retreat

KarooRest - Couples Retreat

Choose a time of year that suits you both and book a few days on The Rest to Repair, Reconnect and Recommit.

These retreats are suitable for couples who are navigating a new phase in the development of their relationship or who recognise the need for better understanding of each other and the dynamics that you each bring to the relationship. 

In these retreats I will work with the couple individually and as a couple  for a few hours each day using creative arts therapies, consellations techniques and the wisdom of the natural environment.    There will also be sufficient time in between sessions for couples and individuals to rest, walk in the veld and forest, practise new behaviours and implement insights.

The couple will stay in the Shepherds cottage and if they choose the fully catered option will have their wholesome, farmstyle meals brought to their cottage to eat at their convenience.

Bursaries are available for all offerings.

The invitation is to think about what you earn and what the workshop is worth to you and place yourself on the scale.

The idea is that it should pinch enough that you value the investment and respect the service, but not punch so hard that you can’t recover.

If you pay higher up the scale it allows us to make our retreats accessible to a more diverse community.

Getting to The Rest
We are half way between Cape Town and Johannesberg (about 8 hours in either direction) half an hour off the N9 highway. We are an hour from Graaff-Reinet and 25 minutes from Nieu Bethesda.

To Drive: Email us for directions and check on the current state of the road and how your car will fare on the dirt roads.

Carpool to workshops: Join the event on the Facebook page and see who is keen to carpool. Email us to put you in touch with other drivers coming from your area.

Bus: Both Intercape and Translux stop in Graaff-Reinet. We will arrange to pick you up from the bus station and bring you to the farm directly or via a guest house (buses usually arrive at awkward times in the late or early hours.)
Email us to arrange this.

Fly: Catch a flight to Port Elizabeth and hire car to drive to the farm (this is a four hour drive).
Co-ordinate with other workshop participants who want to do the same. Email us for directions.
