Solo Retreat

KarooRest - Solo Retreats

If the timing of the groups doesn’t suit you or you feel like you would like to work deeply on a one on one basis, then perhaps a Solo Retreat will be a good fit for you.

Each day we work together for 90 minutes in the morning and about an hour in the afternoon. The one on one sessions may include deep, embodied work; playful and creative work; working with the resource of the natural environment to explore challenges, discover resources and develop a new way of interacting with the world. 

In the time between session you may choose simply to rest or to use the opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of the surroudings. 

Alternatively, there may be an invitation to do some creative homework to deepen the process.

You will stay in the Shepherds cottage with its magnificent views of the Compassberg and Alwynkop, a perfect place to watch the sunset and moonrise.   

If you choose the fully catered option, your delicious farm style  meals will be brought to you at lunch and supper to enjoy in your own time.

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.
