Hope, Healing & Happiness
Come Join Us As We Heal, Connect & Relax!
The All Women Healing Retreats are created out of the desire to connect all African women going through peri-post menopause and menstrual challenges and to provide a sanctuary of compassion, healing, transformation and nurturing. They are a sacred sanctuary for women of all socioeconomic statuses, all sexual orientations, all spiritual ideologies, and all levels of traditional or radical thought. These retreats go beyond a physical workout and are designed to support women throughout the fluctuation of hormones during the days of pre-peri-post menopause, or simply as time-out to unwind on a girls’ trip.
Here African women are able to be vulnerable, authentic and open to tapping into new modalities of healing historical traumas. When we think of healing, we usually think of healing from a relationship or a hurtful friendship, but healing has layers. The deeper we go; we learn that to heal you must heal the generational and cultural traumas. The more you heal and understand your body, the more you can heal those hurtful relationships, friendships, and yourself, because it is all connected.
Our retreats are hosted in Hartbeespoort, in the North West province, South Africa, three times a year. We have many friends, sisters, mothers & daughters that come together - equally we have women that come alone, and leave having made new friends and connected to a newfound community of like-minded women. These retreats are also wonderful gifts for the special women in your life.
If you are afraid of traveling alone, this is the perfect opportunity to begin your travel story because of the support you will receive from your traveling sisters.

There comes a day, somewhere in the middle of every woman’s life,
when Mother Nature herself stands behind us and wraps
her arms around our shoulders, whispering
“It’s time.”
You have taken enough now.
It’s time to stop growing up, stop growing older and start growing wiser – and wilder.
There are adventures still waiting on you and this time,
you will enjoy them with the vision of wisdom and the companionship of
hindsight, and you will really let go.
It’s time to stop the madness of comparison and the ridicule of schedule
and conformity and start experiencing the joys that a life,
free of containment and guilt, can bring.
She’ll shake your shoulders gently and remind you that you’ve done your bit.
You’ve given too much, cared too much, you’ve suffered too much.
You’ve bought the book as it were and worn the t-shirt.
Worse, you’ve worn the chains and carried
the weight of a burden far too heavy for
your shoulders.
“It’s time” she will say.
Let it go, really let it go and feel the freedom of the fresh, clean spaces within
you. Fill them with discovery, love and laughter.
Fill yourself so full you will no longer fear what is ahead
and instead, you will greet each day with the excitement of a child.”
She will remind you that if you choose to stop caring what other people think of you
and instead of caring what you think of you, that you will experience
a new era of your life you never dreamed possible.
“It’s time” she will say…
to write the ending, or new beginning,
of your own story.
