Rest & Reset Retreat
A Gentle Invitation to Come Home to Yourself
On a tranquil farm 15km outside Montagu, Western Cape
Sometimes, the greatest medicine is space — space to unplug, unwind, and remember what truly matters.
The Rest & Reset Retreat is a sacred invitation to pause. It’s a minimum 2-night digital detox immersion held in a private off-grid Shepherd’s Wagon — ideal for solo pilgrims, couples, or anyone needing to step away from the noise and return to the rhythm of nature.
With a grounding Opening Cacao Ceremony, nourishing meals, and access to the land, this experience is about simplicity, restoration, and gentle reconnection — all at your own pace.

Farm-to-Table Meals
Enjoy up to three wholesome meals per day, made with love from seasonal ingredients sourced here on the farm. (Guests are also welcome to self-cater if preferred.)
Drinks Included

Testimonials
I have struggled for years with constipation. Letitia guided me through a 12 week detox cleanse and 7 day detox fast that has helped me significantly with my gut health and having more regular bowel movements. I experience Letitia as being very thorough in her approach with a strong connection to her intuition. Her kindness and support has been unwavering. I'm grateful to know Letitia and to have connected with her work.
For many years, I struggled with severe bags under my eyes. I tried the most expensive creams and remedies on the market, but nothing truly worked. That was until Letitia introduced me to the beautiful healing remedy of pearl powder. I started taking the capsules internally and also began alternating that with a mixture of pearl powder and castor oil, which I applied gently around my eyes. Within just a few days, I noticed a drastic improvement — the puffiness began to ease, and my eyes looked brighter and more rested. An unexpected benefit was that I also started experiencing fewer headaches. I’m now a true believer and walking example of the healing power of pearl powder!
I’ve also struggled with constipation since my teenage years, and over time, this led to a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease. It’s been a long and painful journey, but thankfully, with Letitia’s guidance and care, I’ve found so much relief through natural remedies and gentle protocols. We’re still walking this healing journey together, and while it’s not a quick fix, it is a lifestyle shift — one that I’m fully committed to. I’m feeling more hopeful than I’ve felt in a long time.
Thank you, Letitia, for your wisdom, support, and for truly walking this path alongside me.
I had the privilege of journeying in a group space held by Letitia and I felt completely safe, seen and fully supported throughout. Her presence is both strong and soft... a beautiful balance of professionalism, courage and deep attentiveness.
It’s rare to find a facilitator who can hold space with such clarity and care. She was incredibly tuned in to the needs of each person in the group, while also holding the collective with wisdom, intention and integrity. Because of that, it was easy for me to surrender fully to the process, knowing we were in such capable and loving hands.
I’m deeply grateful for the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone called to walk this path.
Letitia facilitated a retreat which I hosted in June 2025. I was thoroughly impressed by her capacity for being gentle and compassionate, joyful and spontaneous, while still being firm in her leadership and in asserting boundaries. Her vast knowledge of nutrition and detoxification was also impressive. I can highly endorse Letitia in any space-holding role.
Letitia has a real gift facilitating and holding space for others. I have found her to have wisdom well beyond her years and is very knowledgeable in helping others heal.
