We spent the last few days at Barrowfield, preparing for the final move in ten days' time. While George was busy fixing fences and having a crash course in windmill maintenance, I went treasure hunting with my camera. It felt like playing truant and even a little wrong to be having such fun, but then, while we don't have running water in the house, no thorough house cleaning is possible and therefore also not much unpacking can be done for now. Thus, I assigned myself to kitchen duty and scouting. Oh, the joys of uncharted land! Matilda
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.
