Reconnect to your fire, and keep your passion and purpose burning on the inside. We are spirit, connecting, listening, knowing, ... still. Message me on WhatsApp or call 066 25 68468 to RESERVE YOUR RESET. HEALING

​We are creating a safe, healing space where those seeking to regain balance and connection on a physical, mental and emotional level are assisted through various alternative and natural treatments such as detoxification, nutrition, homeopathy, life coaching, energy healing and body work. The Well-Being Sanctuary will be a gathering space where healers can meet and practice their various modalities.

​Following a holistic approach, we believe in supporting everyone involved in the Well-Being Sanctuary to become empowered, independent and to ultimately thrive. EDUCATION AND EVENTS

​​We are creating a platform where healers, trainers, facilitators and practitioners can come to offer their conferences, retreats, workshops, classes and treatments. Guests and Volunteers will also be able to learn by participating in our projects such as the permaculture gardens or natural horsemanship. ARTS

Our facilities will include spaces where artists can get back in touch with their creativity, give performances, display art works and facilitate healing through art.

​Wherever we can, we support the local artists and artisans. SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY

​​We are currently clearing the land including removing invasive plant species. The clearings are used in the compost heaps for our organic, permaculture and aquaponics gardens and for stocking up on our fire wood. We currently live off rain water and will be filling our dams soon with river water as well as from our spring. HORSES AND FARM ANIMALS

​The Well-Being Sanctuary has 5 horses, some rescued. We offer natural horsemanship lessons and gentle, walking outrides through our property and the neighbouring forests.

​Apart from our dog Apollo, and cats Luna and Nova, the farm often hears the cries of the resident fish eagles and sees other birds of prey, buck, rooikat, monkeys and baboons as well as chickens and rabbits. CONNECT WITH US

Our 40 hectare lifestyle farm is situated close to Sedgefield in the Garden Route of South Africa with spectacular views stretching over 2.5 km on the scenic Swartvlei Lake’s edge. All of us at the Well-Being Sanctuary look forward to connecting with you and welcoming you on this magical healing land. Please show your support and join our community on Facebook.

The word “retreat” intrigues me.

We often think it means a lovely weekend away, taking a break from normal life, feeling better for a few days, then returning to the same routine.

Because most of the time, we’re addressing symptoms.

Burnout. Headaches. Irritation. Anger with family. Avoidance of intimacy. Feeling disconnected. Living a life that doesn’t feel like ours.

Earth Women is different because it’s not just about taking a break.

We retreat from what we’ve become in our busy, modern world and return to something timeless.

The Earth Woman.

Bare feet. Bellies. Bodies.

Maiden, mother, wise woman, crone.

Women who understood the forest and cycles of the moon. Women who knew how to grow food. Women who created life and knew the Earth as home.

And women have always been the home too.
The home of family, extended family, community.

At Earth Women, we retreat from the default to return to our Earth Woman setting.

That’s the difference.

When you leave, you’re not just refreshed from a weekend off.

You’ve embodied something.

You’ve felt it.

You’ve been witnessed in it.

You’ve experienced yourself differently.

And you take that woman home with you.

The retreat creates a pause from all the striving so we can harvest wisdom from all we’ve lived.

And there’s another meaning of retreat I love.

It’s also a real treat.

Caring for yourself like this is a real treat.

It’s delicious. Sensual. Pleasurable. There’s bliss and freedom in remembering that being a woman isn’t just about what we carry and do for others.

There is pleasure in being alive.

And we get to remember that too.

Earth Women really began with a vision.

Five years ago, after 21 years of living and working in the Middle East, I was at a crossroads. I had a very busy behaviour therapy practice there, working particularly with children with behavioural difficulties, violence and very turbulent family systems.

It was also a turbulent time in the Middle East, and I had to make a choice. Was I going to rebuild my practice and my life there again? Or was it time to come home, to South Africa, to the land, and take Well-Being Sanctuary into its next chapter?

One weekend I went out on my paddleboard. In the desert there weren’t forests to disappear into, but I had the ocean. It was about 45 degrees and, somewhat crazily, I stayed on the water for about four hours. There may have been a little sunstroke involved!

When I came back, I phoned my partner and told him I’d had this vision.

I was standing naked in the lake. When I turned around, there was a group of naked women standing behind me.

He immediately said, “Maybe you’re going to work with women.”

That wasn’t what I had thought at all.

For me, the nudity wasn’t really about being physically naked. It was about shedding. I had this overwhelming sense of wanting to come into a completely real space within myself. Delayered. Nothing to hide behind. Nothing to perform.

And when I turned around, there were all these other women doing the same.

That level of revealing the feminine was a million miles away from the life I was living in the Middle East. I knew I needed to come home to a country where this was possible, to a piece of land where this was possible, to waters that could hold women in this way.

And to myself.

I wanted to create a container where women could meet one another with that degree of honesty.

So I came home and created it.

Five years later, we are preparing for our seventh Earth Women Retreat and our ninth gathering of women.

There have been so many extraordinary moments, but what stays with me isn’t necessarily one ceremony or workshop. It’s watching women become progressively more real. Watching the layers fall away. Watching what happens when women realise they are safe enough to show themselves.

That was the original vision.

And in many ways, we’re still living it.

“This is not about becoming someone else.
It is about remembering who you already are.”

23rd to 25th October, 2026
Well-Being Sanctuary, Garden Route

Every Earth Women is different, but there is a rhythm to the weekend that I protect.
We always begin with the Earth/Sweat Lodge because I have found it to be the most powerful way to open the portal that holds us for the weekend.

On Friday, women arrive exactly as they are.
There is a light lunch, an opening circle, cacao and intention setting.

And then we step into the womb.
You arrive carrying your default world with you, the blockages, responsibilities, stories, difficulties, everything the mind has decided things mean.

You sweat. You pray. You celebrate. You let go.

It is an acceleration, not into somebody else, but into more of yourself.

Earthlodge

Why do we start our women’s retreat here?

Together,
Naked,
At the watery edge of the lake,
Sweating our prayers…?

Because it is the fastest way to drop the story and come home to the body, to the heart and to each other.

Here, in the dark, moist, warm womb
of Mother Earth…

song and prayer and sound and stillness

soften and shed
all that burdens, obscures, distorts

through sweat and tears
and staying

we are washed clean by our feeling
so that we emerge

Together
Reborn
Anew

Come and sweat your prayers
