buhle mabangatholinhlanhla dlaminitinashe oicWe warmly invite you to Return to Presence, a deeply nourishing, African-rooted retreat designed to support your healing, alignment, and reconnection with your true self. Facilitated by Buhle,Tinashe, and Tholinhlanhla this retreat is a portal into presence, embodiment, and ancestral remembering - a homecoming.

Over the course of 2 or 4 rejuvenating days, we will:

Let go of what no longer serves us, individually and collectively, through guided emotional release and inner child healing
Align with your centre through yoga, African sound healing, and the spirit of Ubuntu
Awaken to the present moment, beyond the mind, beyond the ego
Be held in sacred sharing circles for reflection, connection, and integration
Engage with a compassionate psychologist, who will hold space and respond to your questions on healing, life, and transformation
Close with a manifestation circle, affirming your soul-aligned desires
Rooted in nature, community, and tradition, this retreat offers a gentle but powerful return to presence. In a fast-moving world that constantly pulls us into overthinking, distraction, and disconnection, this space offers a sacred pause. Through movement, sound, journaling, breathwork, rest, and meaningful dialogue, we will co-create a space where healing becomes possible, and presence becomes our guide. You will leave feeling more grounded, whole, and alive.
