Five Elements Retreat At Five Streams
Five Elements Retreat At Five Streams
Have you ever felt the need to get back to nature and experience your roots? Seen pure spring water at its source? Heard the sound of owls and jackals at night? Stars glittering, out of sheer joy of being in the heavens.
Would you like to experience this for a few days? Join in the basic thrills of walking in nature, through shady canopies along a stream and having a picnic with the sound of water and birds?
Join in the primal thrill of connecting with yourself in a pyramid; communing with yourself whilst walking a labyrinth and rejoicing in life with a purifying sweat lodge.
If this interests you why not join us at the 3day retreat on the sustainable community called ‘5 Streams’. 27 km’s from Nottingham Road and nestled in the foothills of the Drakensberg. It is 2 hours from Durban and 4.5 – 5 hours from Johannesburg along very easy roads.
