Our retreats

Your experience and adventures as well as your goals are my top priority

What we offer: Transformative wellness retreat in nature

We offer a range of retreats for individuals, couples and families, including yoga retreats, meditation retreats, mental health retreats, digital detox and silent retreats, couple and family retreats as well as longer customised healing journeys. We are particularly proud of our self-care cooking and baking retreat, based on an idea of previous participants and launched by our chef. 

What is important to us: Your well-being and healing 

Our retreats offer a unique blend of therapeutic approaches, including systemic therapy and mindfulness practices, tailored to your individual needs. We have suitable retreat concepts whether you’re seeking personal transformation, a stronger relationship, or simply a moment to breathe. Our approach is rooted in systemic therapy, which aims to understand your experience in relation to the systems and people around you. And it also focuses on your dreams, wishes and inner strengths – not only on your problems or issues.

Why here: Our farm is a home in nature

Escape to our serene farm near Cullinan, where nature’s tranquility sets the stage for deep healing, growth, and connection. Just 30 minutes from Menlyn and an hour from Johannesburg, our retreat is your home in nature—calm, restorative, and deeply inspiring. Surrounded by vibrant birds, starlit skies, and fresh, garden-grown meals, you’ll rediscover balance and purpose.

References: The group matters just as much as the programme at our retreat 

  • What an eye opening experience. Definitely recommend going to Juliane’s retreat if you need to talk or need a new perspective.
  • The Healing retreat was nothing short of PERFECT. Driving into the farm empty with emotions everywhere and absolutely broken. The weekend program allowed me to unpack and put so much into perspective! 
  • I’d definitely recommend a weekend or session with Juliane. She’s such an amazing person. I feel amazing and a lot lighter mentally, emotionally and physically. I felt seen, heard and understood not only by Juliane but by the other participants. It’s truly an amazing experience.

Our approach, systemic therapy, can help you to take a new perspective

What I love most about the systemic approach is that we focus on your dreams, wishes and inner strengths – not only on your problems or issues. As a systemic therapist, I am curious how far you have come, what is already going well in your life and how we can learn from that. What matters to me is how you are feeling on a daily basis – not how much you achieve, because remember that you are not a self-improvement project. And I want to support you to create a life that you enjoy – not the life you expect yourself to live.  

I chose systemic therapy because I believe we exist with and through the people around us – and I believe we are each other’s biggest treasures and support systems. Feeling connected to our environment, the people around us and ourselves is essential on our journey of healing. I believe we can’t and shouldn’t even try to be strong, independent, in control or solve everything on our own. 

Systemic therapy is a transformative approach to mental and holistic health that focuses on understanding how individuals are influenced by and interact with the systems they are part of—such as families, relationships, workplaces, and communities. Rather than isolating challenges to one person, systemic therapy explores the interconnected patterns, dynamics, and environments shaping your experiences and emotional well-being.

This approach is rooted in the belief that change is most effective when addressed within the context of these relationships and systems. By gaining insight into these connections, individuals can uncover deeper self-awareness, foster healthier interactions, and develop practical strategies for navigating life’s complexities.

Systemic therapy acknowledges that mental health is deeply intertwined with physical, relational, and spiritual well-being. By addressing the root causes of distress and fostering healthier environments, it supports a more balanced and fulfilling life – that’s why I believe it is an ideal approach to your healing journey at our retreats. 

Take the first step toward a renewed sense of balance and connection. Let systemic therapy guide you to lasting well-being—mind, body, and soul. Reach out today to book your check-in call.
