11 days: June 1-12, 2026
This retreat will include workshops taught by Adele Cutten and focuses on mohair from Angora goats that are locally sourced and of the finest quality while showcasing a “recycle and reuse” approach to spark your imagination. There will be instruction and hands-on facilitation on how to make your own recycled yarn by mixing different textures and colors. You will be able to use the yarn you made to create beautiful clothing/décor and accessories. You will also have the opportunity to engage with (and directly support) rural South African women mainly of the Xhosa tribe (like Nelson Mandela) who carefully process the mohair and wool fiber to the highest standards. We will also take a trip to the beach to quiet the mind, connect with nature, and let your body reset into wellness.
Lodging for the workshops is situated in a private wildlife and nature reserve that is free of predators and invites safe exploration. It is also an accredited birder friendly establishment with the reserve being home to over 130 species of birds! Rise each morning to the sounds of the veldt, relax on the stoep and walk amongst the wildlife. At dusk wait to see which of the wildlife (Giraffe, Zebra, Wildebeest, Kudu, Nyala, etc) comes to graze around the lodge and then relax on the stoep watching the sun dip down over the horizon.
Finish the tour by spending several days relaxing at a prestigious private wildlife reserve. This retreat was a huge hit in 2025.
