Waar Hafiz en Rilke met God speel? So klink dit, met min ontsag of dan met soveel inherente agting vir hulself dat dit mag; Dat God speelmaat vir hulle durf wees en hulle ongetwyfelde bemindes.

The Restory is a Retreat Centre nestled against Tafelkop, a singular mountain head near Wakkerstroom, South Africa. Here we live a simple life as contemplatives. It is a place of re-connection: with ourselves, people, Nature, Silence and Creativity. Our retreats are aimed at this. Our conversations, writing and art centre around the univocity of life. We need a place that reminds us that we are all one. The Restory hopes to be such a place and space.
