The retreat program features a unique blend of educational workshops and immersive wildlife activities. Therapists will gain in-depth knowledge of Eco-Art Therapy and its application in trauma care through daily educational sessions. Group activities are interwoven throughout the schedule, including game drives to observe elephants, cheetahs, and rhinos in their natural habitat, a Fynbos walk to learn about the medicinal uses of local flora, and a sea cruise to spot dolphins, seals, and whales. Additional highlights include a traditional South African braai night, a bush dinner under the stars, and an interactive drumming workshop that offers a deep dive into the region’s cultural heritage.
