A mindful stroll in Kimiad, Moreleta Park, Pretoria When thinking of a retreat, images of retreat centers, nature, silence and even isolation, arise spontaneously. Although it is necessary to have this respite from the hustle and bustle of life in towns and cities, for many it may not be possible to attend a retreat at a remote location. Hectic schedules and unending demands cause havoc to our inner peace, resulting in a feeling of meaninglessness. We strongly feel that the building blocks to mindful living should be readily available to city dwellers in order for them to see and experience how one can live and find meaning in an urban environment. To this purpose, the City retreat was developed which follows a parallel program to our Mindfulness Retreats at The Restory. We are available to facilitate this concept retreat where ever there is a need for it. Costs will be customised with regards to travelling distance and facilities. Please Cont...
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.
