Nestled in the Welbedacht Nature Reserve, held by the energy of the Tulbagh mountains, you are invited to take a pause before December, so that your soul may speak its dreams for 2026.
Here, on this weekend retreat, we will carve space to shed the final layers before the year closes and connect with what our soul wants to ignite in 2026—the first year of the next nine-year cycle. We begin to align ourselves to our soul’s desire as the new year’s energy starts to roll in during November, from a place of nurture, quiet, peace, and love, instead of urgency or mind-based pressure.
As we unhook ourselves from the places within us that keep us tangled in our old skins—as we peel away the last layers of masks, falsehoods, belief systems, and pains that need to be released—we throw open the doors to the new. This process may ask us to dig deeper into our hearts and beings. As we move through this releasing and unhooking, we may feel tender in our new skin. This is why we’ve created this weekend: to hold ourselves, to sit in community, to be witnessed, to open into love.
You’ll be guided at times, but this is also a space to witness yourself, to witness others, and to hold both yourself and others deeply. There is pure magic in that.
As we take these final steps out of the nine-year of 2025 and into the one-year of 2026, with support and community, we deepen our capacity to allow our soul’s desires to be birthed in this new cycle. And we bring joy into the process—lightheartedness and love.
May we allow more; more shadow and more joy and love.
May we express deeper, truer, with courage.
May we dance more, laugh and cry with ease.
May we open our hearts to encompass all of ourselves, and gently shed what keeps us from opening ever more and more.
