Discover Africa
No matter where you are on your healing journey, this retreat will unearth your innermost potential through a cultural odyssey in breathtaking Tanzania, blending external exploration with deep introspection. Led by a diverse collective of multi-disciplinary experts, our intimate 7-day healing experience is crafted to awaken your creativity, explore the healing power of movement, and embrace local cultures and traditions, all while delving into the depths of your inner world. Our journey begins at an exclusive and remote cliffside property in the Kigamboni district, home to some of Tanzania's least frequented yet most picturesque beachfronts. The soothing waves of the Indian Ocean and warm coastal breezes create an ideal space for relaxation and renewal. We then continue our collective healing journey to the Great Rift Valley, staying on a private farm nestled in the forested outer slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater. In this tranquil setting, we balance introspection and rejuvenation with various group sessions, excursions, and individual activities tailored to your preferences. This unique combination of mountain serenity and coastal tranquility ensures a holistic healing experience, reconnecting you with nature, culture, and your inner self. You'll return home with a renewed sense of self and a deeper connection to your African heritage. For those craving further exploration, our customizable Zanzibar add-on package awaits.
