- Activities
WalksEnjoy a walking meditation in the indigenous forest surrounded by ' fairies ' flowers and animal friends.
Bird WatchingThe indigenous forest and well placed bird baths host a fantastic variety of birds,
like the 'royal ' knysna lourie, the elusive narina trogon and the majestic fish eagle.
LabyrinthAsk a question… say a prayer… walk a blessing… meditate… exercise and simply enjoy the journey.
LibraryChoose a book to read in the relaxing atmosphere of the Centre, and even take it home!
MeditationBe still in the healing centre. Reflect in the rose quartz garden. Gather energy in the jasper circle. Sit on one of the benches and feast your eyes. Design a pattern in a Zen sand tray.

And then into the courtyard, through the huge wooden doors … a pottery foot basin filled with lavender and rosemary to soothe and warm your feet, before relaxing on the bed with a heavenly view … and you just may have a visit from the baby bushbuck!
