Well-Being Sanctuary

Location :

The Well-Being Sanctuary is a collective of like-minded and conscious beings, pooling our hearts, skills and resources to co-create and build our dream and vision of a self-sustaining, off-grid healing and retreat centre.

It encompasses a HEArtS concept: Healing, Education and Events, Arts, Self-Sufficiency and Sustainability.

HEALING

​We are creating a safe, healing space where those seeking to regain balance and connection on a physical, mental and emotional level are assisted through various alternative and natural treatments such as detoxification, nutrition, homeopathy, life coaching, energy healing and body work.

The Well-Being Sanctuary will be a gathering space where healers can meet and practice their various modalities.

​Following a holistic approach, we believe in supporting everyone involved in the Well-Being Sanctuary to become empowered, independent and to ultimately thrive.

EDUCATION AND EVENTS

​​We are creating a platform where healers, trainers, facilitators and practitioners can come to offer their conferences, retreats, workshops, classes and treatments.

Guests and Volunteers will also be able to learn by participating in our projects such as the permaculture gardens or log home building.

​Our first conscious co-creation event is planned for 21 December 2016, keep an eye out on Facebook for the invites soon.

ARTS

Our facilities will include spaces where artists can get back in touch with their creativity, give performances, display art works and facilitate healing through art.

​Wherever we can, we support the local artists and artisans.

SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY

​​We are currently clearing the land including removing invasive plant species. The clearings are used in the compost heaps for our organic, permaculture and aquaponics gardens and for stocking up on our fire wood.

We currently live off rain water and will be filling our dams soon with river water as well as from our spring.

In the future, the surrounding blue gum logs will be used in our natural building methods for the planned infrastructure. Once construction is finished we aim to be going off-grid.

HORSES AND FARM ANIMALS

​The Well-Being Sanctuary has 10 horses, some rescued. We offer natural horsemanship lessons and gentle, walking outrides through our property and the neighbouring forests.

​Apart from our puppy Apollo, kitten Luna and our pigs Bonnie and Clyde, the farm often hears the cries of the resident fish eagles and sees other birds of prey, buck, rooikat, monkeys and baboons. Soon we will include some chickens.
