Aaah, so this is our last report, (for now), on Holistic Retreats in our TRAVEL & RELAXATION section of The Wellness Trail, and we found a gem of a spot for you to try. Besides also being in the most exquisite spot, it kinda feels like home, but not yours, Grandma's home. (That's a good thing, home is better when you at Gran's house, it smells of great food, and always feels like a holiday.)
Meet....

We found another GEM of a retreat, a tad simpler than some, but earthier we think, not saying that one is better than the other, its preference. We would do them all if you could.
This Month we are focusing on HOLISTIC RETREATS in our TRAVEL & RELAXATION segment.
This is....
Bodhi Khaya is situated on Baviaans Fonteyn Farm, the oldest in the area. It is a retreat that ofers everything from Art to Zen, nestled at the foot of the Witkransberg in the beautiful Overberg region. It boasts 217 hectares of indigenous Fynbos and Milkwood forest.
Connect with nature, you kindred spirits and your own heart.
Bodhi Khaya blends Buddism with South African culture. 'Bodhi' means 'awareness' in Sanskrit and refers to the Buddha's knowledge when he attained enlightenment 2500 years ago, while 'Khaya' goes beyond its better known meaning of 'home' to express a sense of belonging and a spiritual base.
They are a member of the Walker Bay Fynbos Conservancy whose mission is to promote the conservation of the natural and cultural diversity of the Cape Floral Kingdom. The area is home to more types of indigenous plants than any similar area, approximately 6300 of its 9000 plant species are found NOWHERE else in the world.
Guarenteed beauty! We are so incredibly lucky to have the spaces we have in South Africa.
At Bodhi Khaya they offer many retreats, here are a few examples; (bodhi-khaya retreats)
- The Joy of Conscious Eating
- Clear Mind, Good Heart Retreat
- The Eternal Possibility
- Yoga Poise Retreat
- Yoga Spirit Retreat
- Open the Heart & Still the Mind
