The Transcendence Retreat is a sacred space for you to come home to yourself—a time to Re-discover, Re-connect, and Re-member the magnificent being you truly are.

For two days and two nights, you’ll be embraced by the breathtaking beauty of the Paardeberg Mountain range, nestled between the powerful peaks of Dragonridge and Sonkop in the heart of the Western Cape.

Guided with care by trained facilitators in all modalities, this retreat offers a transformative experience, fully catered with nourishing plant-based meals. Every moment is designed to nurture you on every level—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.


What makes this retreat different?

At the heart of The Transcendence Retreat is a deep commitment to your emotional and physical safety. We place great emphasis on creating a space where you feel fully supported and held, allowing you to surrender and embrace the journey.

Our approach goes beyond the retreat itself. We focus on both pre- and post-journey integration, ensuring that the transformation you experience continues to unfold long after the retreat ends. You’ll be guided every step of the way, with continued support to help anchor the insights and shifts you receive, empowering you to live your life with greater authenticity and alignment.
