Photograph by Maxine Evan s I live my life in widening rings which spread out to cover everything. I may not complete the last one, but I’ll surely try: I’m circling around God, around the ancient tower, and I’ve been circling for thousands of years— and I don’t yet know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a vast song . . . . Rainer Maria Rilke, Prayers of a Young Poet, Translated and introduced by Mark S. Burrows
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.
