FOREST EDGE NATURE LOVER’S RETREAT YOUR NUMBER ONE WELLNESS RETREAT

What is a wellness retreat and how can this improve your life you may ask?

We live a very fast-paced life. Were we get pulled this way and that way, we are always busy in between, work, family and just life in general. As humans, we rarely take the time out to just be. Our minds are always filled with planning our next move, how to live a sustainable life, how to keep our families safe and reaching success all around, as mentioned in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

It is easy for us to get all wrapped up in the routines we follow, and move along like a well-oiled machine, and neglect ourselves in the process. Our own wellbeing and relaxation often take a back seat, even our hobbies become intense with as it often comes with its own challenges and goals. We are glued to technology and binge-watching TV or being a couch potato with a glass of wine after a long day or week is the only way most people find the time to relax.

Attending wellness retreats like the ones we have offered at Forest Edge Nature Lover’s Retreat, on many different levels offers one the opportunity to learn new ways one can apply some mindfulness in our very own lives each and every day. One cannot pour from an empty cup and it has become essential in the stressful times we live in, the last year speaks for itself, we need to take time to ourselves to just exhale and recharge so we can cope better with our challenges and whatever life may throw at us. Mental wellbeing is just as important as physical health and is the one part people often forget to maintain.

Forest Edge Nature Lover’s Retreat is right in the heart of the Knysna Forest. It is a tranquil and peaceful environment, with trees hardly any light or air pollution. It is a bouquet of trees, ferns animals and critters that are held together by rich soil that feeds and keep this circle of life alive.  There are many special places in and around our establishment that are protected and guarded that only allow a certain amount of foot traffic per day to conserve the beauty.

We have successfully hosted a number of Wellness Retreats, at Forest Edge Nature Lover’s Retreat over the last few years, and most recently one held by Soul Tribe Vibe, they offered attendees the chance to breathe, relax, restore, awaken, renew. The Wellness Retreat was well attended and all the guests left the retreat with new energy. Our establishment was handpicked by them as it offered everything and more that was required for these retreats. Lunch was served under the trees, providing guests with healthy vegetarian meals. Guests were treated to massages, reflexology, Reiki, body realignment and sound therapy, and Yoga among some of the other mindfulness activities, like meditation, drum journey meditations, paint therapy, medicinal properties of herbs and intuition coaching.
