Winter is the perfect time to retreat inwards. A time of quiet reflection, to collect your thoughts and find clarity. A time to restore, renourish and connect to the wisdom and intuition within.
The busy-ness, noise and overwhelm of life can so easily drown out our inner voice – a voice that speaks with authenticity, clarity, truth and wisdom, if we only make the time and space to listen and hear what it has to tell us.
Set aside time and space for yourself at the beautiful Temenos Retreat in McGregor where we’ll guide you through a weekend of mindful practices designed to turn your attention inwards, fill up your cup, and connect to your authentic nature. So that you leave feeling restored and more in tune with you, so you can engage more authentically with the world – in your relationships and your environments.

~ 2 x night’s accommodation (sharing or private) in beautiful ensuite cottages nestled in the healing gardens of Temenos Retreat in McGregor. All cottages are ensuite and enjoy a private patio and fireplace

“With every breath I plant the seeds of devotion –
I am a farmer of the heart.
Day and night I see the face of union –
I am the mirror of God.
Every moment I shape my destiny with a chisel –
I am the carpenter of my own soul.”
Rumi
About your hosts:
Leigh is a 500hr qualified yoga teacher and the proud founder of House of Yoga in Cape Town – an urban sanctuary where people from all walks of life come to reconnect with themselves. She has practiced yoga for 18 years and has explored various styles of yoga (including Hatha, Iyengar, Vinyasa, Scaravelli and Ashtanga) and is privileged to be able to share with others what the practice has gifted her, through movement, breath work, meditation and yoga nidra: being comfortable and at home in the body and with oneself; to re-access the intelligence centres of the body to balance out overstimulation of the mind and incessant thought; and to take responsibility for one’s body and overall well being. For Leigh, every time we step onto our mats, we begin a journey – a journey home to ourselves. Yoga is about celebrating the adventure of life, being human, our uniqueness, but also our connection of all things.
