To Retreat

To retreat is to take time away from the world, away from our duties and responsibilities. To retreat is a moment in time, a moment to purify. This is a deep cleansing retreat and is designed for you to completely detoxify your body and your mind and to recharge your mental and physical health. The Retreat home is Rushty Gate Mountain Retreat, nestled in the Riviersonderend Mountains, with unsurpassed vistas over the Helderstroom valley and Overberg area.

When we retreat (from the world) into ourselves, something deep within us is accessed. We nourish ourselves in a new way. In a way that we long for in our very active lives but in a way that perhaps we’ve glimpsed but not yet delved into. When we retreat, our senses are sharpened, we become more in tune with our inner selves, our inner voice, our intuition and something changes.

Daily Hikes, Yoga and Movement Therapy

On this retreat, we will slow down and come to rest. We will take all that is not essential out of our experience and nourish our minds and bodies at a deep level. Our tools are accessed, channeled through our body with a juice cleanse, mindful yoga, movement therapy, meditation, walking in nature and through holistic massage.

The daily hikes, yoga and movement therapy will greatly assist your juice cleanse and will transform the way you look at your health. The Mountain Retreat is the perfect environment for total relaxation and rest and you can look forward to coming away inspired towards a healthy lifestyle.

Deep Cleansing Juice Fast

Fasting has long been practiced by so many who have come before us who have fasted as a tool to access their deeper selves, to cleanse the body and purify the mind. This has a strong effect on us as we open to a deeper connection within and without. The result is that we start looking at our lives and where we are with a fresh and clear vision. With this clarity it becomes easier to guide and direct our lives into the lives of our own choosing.

This is a deep level detox. In order for you to access the emotional and mental levels it is really important for you to first detox your body. You will lose weight, you will become fitter from walking in nature everyday and from practicing yoga each day. You do not have to have practiced yoga before as we will teach you. All you need is an open mind and to give yourself over to the process.

Fresh Mountain Air

Fresh mountain air has calming effects on the nervous system, lowering cortisol levels and enhancing relaxation. It reduces stress and anxiety while promoting a sense of well-being, ultimately improving mental clarity. The clean air supports mental and physical health, making it an ideal setting for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Mental Clarity

Many people come on our retreats with the intention of becoming healthy, getting some rest and decompressing, but the effects are far reaching. They do become healthy, they do get strong and fit but mostly they find a clarity that they had not thought was possible. One can't really know what real clarity, balance and health is while the body is full of toxins. Once the body is clean and clear, the mind follows and you will have a real deep abiding experience of what it means to be healthy.

““Excellent way to re start your mind body and soul!” The days, events and juices were perfectly scheduled, I felt challenged but not too much and never felt hungry. I left inspired and felt good in my own body again.”
