Invitation to the BRC Fundraiser

We are making our final preparations for our BRC fund-raising function and auction and want to make sure you are not missing out on this opportunity to meet fellow BRC friends over a delicious vegetarian finger supper and a glass, or two, of wine. There will be an auction of a variety of beautiful objet d’art and artefacts, including original sumie paintings by Louis van Loon and raku pottery by Anthony Shapiro; a week’s stay in a splendid sea-facing apartment in Camps Bay, Cape Town; and in a charming cottage in the Drakensberg.

We hope that we can count on you to support this function, our first BRC fund-raiser of the year - the proceeds of which will be put towards a number of projects we have initiated that will significantly enhance the beauty of the Centre and will ensure that it will remain a spiritual home for many.

About the BRC

Perched on a ridge at the head of a valley in the Umkomaas river system in KwaZulu-Natal, the Buddhist Retreat Centre looks out on a vista of indigenous valleys, forests and rolling hills receding like waves in the blue distance. Here, for more than thirty six years, people of all religions and none have come to experience peace and tranquillity. It is a gentle, sympathetic space where one can be still and get in touch with oneself and reflect on the things that crowd one's life.

The BRC was voted by CNN as one of the ten best meditation centres in the world. 

In 1989, the BRC was awarded Natural Heritage status by President Mandela for turning an eroded farm into the natural paradise it has become with 160 species of birds, including the Blue Swallow, otter, deer and indigenous forests.

The BRC facilitated the founding of Woza Moya, the community-based NGO, located in Ufafa Valley.  It continues to support the organisation  in a variety of ways.
