Glamping is an opportunity to immerse yourself in Nature and BE in your ELEMENT ! If you need to get away completely from your usual patterns, or need to get out of the city and your head, then visit the Well-Being Sanctuary. Connect to the earth and harness the Full Spectrum of her Elemental Power as you tap into the Wisdom of the land. Enjoy the Wild Salt Air on our beautiful beaches at the lake, 20 minutes from the ocean. Stretch out and imagine yourself to be a grain of sand like a star in the vast ocean of the cosmos. Meditate in the organic veggie garden and eat high vibration nutrient dense food. Take deep clear breaths of clean air, observe what comes up in the silence and moments in between as you walk the land. Reconnect to your fire, and keep your passion and purpose burning on the inside. We are spirit, connecting, listening, knowing, ... still. Message me on WhatsApp or call 066 25 68468 to RESERVE YOUR RESET. HEALING

​We are creating a safe, healing space where those seeking to regain balance and connection on a physical, mental and emotional level are assisted through various alternative and natural treatments such as detoxification, nutrition, homeopathy, life coaching, energy healing and body work. The Well-Being Sanctuary will be a gathering space where healers can meet and practice their various modalities.

​Following a holistic approach, we believe in supporting everyone involved in the Well-Being Sanctuary to become empowered, independent and to ultimately thrive. EDUCATION AND EVENTS

​​We are creating a platform where healers, trainers, facilitators and practitioners can come to offer their conferences, retreats, workshops, classes and treatments. Guests and Volunteers will also be able to learn by participating in our projects such as the permaculture gardens or natural horsemanship. ARTS

Our facilities will include spaces where artists can get back in touch with their creativity, give performances, display art works and facilitate healing through art.

​Wherever we can, we support the local artists and artisans. SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY

​​We are currently clearing the land including removing invasive plant species. The clearings are used in the compost heaps for our organic, permaculture and aquaponics gardens and for stocking up on our fire wood. We currently live off rain water and will be filling our dams soon with river water as well as from our spring. HORSES AND FARM ANIMALS

​The Well-Being Sanctuary has 5 horses, some rescued. We offer natural horsemanship lessons and gentle, walking outrides through our property and the neighbouring forests.

​Apart from our dog Apollo, and cats Luna and Nova, the farm often hears the cries of the resident fish eagles and sees other birds of prey, buck, rooikat, monkeys and baboons as well as chickens and rabbits. CONNECT WITH US

Our 40 hectare lifestyle farm is situated close to Sedgefield in the Garden Route of South Africa with spectacular views stretching over 2.5 km on the scenic Swartvlei Lake’s edge. All of us at the Well-Being Sanctuary look forward to connecting with you and welcoming you on this magical healing land. Please show your support and join our community on Facebook.

♥️What is Conscious Parenting?

🏠Conscious Parenting is the most profoundly powerful self development project you’ll ever be on.

☀️I am in Cape Town for two weeks to support families who are stuck, repeating the same old patterns with each other.

☀️In a few simple steps, we can turn these stumbling blocks into steppingstones, learning life lessons.

☀️We start by turning within, doing the work on ourselves.

☀️When we pair greater awareness with our parenting we r-evolutionize the way we relate within the family.

BE THE CHANGE... you want to see in the world

Welcome to ECOLUTION, a celebration of nature, sustainability, and community! An initiative of Well-Being Sanctuary in collaboration with Precious Tree Project (NPO).

This unique festival is not just about music and having a lekker time, but is dedicated to fostering a deeper connection with the environment and promoting ecological harmony.

At the heart of ECOLUTION are three fundamental pillars: establishing wildlife corridors, forest rehabilitation, and embracing permaculture principles.

WILDLIFE CORRIDORS are vital pathways that connect fragmented habitats, allowing animals to migrate, forage, and breed freely. At the festival you can explore talks, educational exhibits and interactive workshops focused on raising awareness about the importance of preserving these corridors. Experts share insights on the impact of habitat fragmentation and ways landowners and individuals can
contribute to creating and maintaining these vital lifelines for biodiversity.

FOREST REHABILITATION takes center stage at ECOLUTION, symbolising renewal and regeneration. You are invited to participate in fun-filled ceremonies, planting trees and fynbos, where you can get your hands dirty and contribute to restoring degraded ecosystems, as well as clearing alien species. Guided forest hikes offer an immersive experience, allowing participants to witness firsthand the transformative power of nature restoration. Through collaborative efforts, ECOLUTION aims to replenish natural biomes, combat climate change, and provide habitat for countless species.

PERMACULTURE, the third pillar of ECOLUTION, is a holistic approach to sustainable living that mimics natural ecosystems and promotes resilience. Workshops on permaculture design showcase innovative techniques for creating self-sustaining food systems, regenerative agriculture, and eco-friendly infrastructure. From composting and rainwater harvesting to agroforestry and renewable energy; from natural building to worm farming, ECOLUTION inspires attendees to embrace practices that harmonise with nature, nourish the land, and support local communities.

In addition to these core pillars, ECOLUTION offers a vibrant lineup of eco-conscious performances, art installations crafted from recycled materials, and a marketplace featuring sustainable products from local artisans and green businesses. Whether you’re a seasoned environmentalist or a curious newcomer, ECOLUTION invites you to join in the celebration of our planet and discover how together, we can create a brighter, greener future for generations to come.

Play as you learn with our AMAZING EXPERTS!!!

Are you looking to grow and learn as a parent?

Join us for our three Conscious Parenting Workshops hosted by Mariette Carstens in Cape Town.

These workshops will provide you with the support and tools you need to update your parenting paradigm.

The best part? You can attend the workshops in any order as they are independent of each other. And, if you can't make the dates below, don't worry - the workshops will be repeated in the near future.

Let us uncover the true gifts of parenting, instead of feeling burned out, frustrated and out of control.

Sometimes we feel we have tried EVERYTHING at home and NOTHING seems to be working!

Yes, parenting can be daunting.
When SOMETHING is wrong at home, we experience isolation and failure.

NO MORE !

*Join this series of 3 Conscious Parenting Workshops. *

Coming Up: Getting a “YES” from your child. Fostering Cooperation in a Co-creative Partnership with your child.
How to instruct, mutual listening, and following through.

📍29 July, Hout Bay

Next : Understanding the “NO”, the blockage.

📍26 Aug, Constantia

Followed By: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is responsible for it all?
That’s the person we see in the morning in the mirror, the only one we can learn to control. In this workshop we look at the true causes of our suffering at home and learn to become fully resourced to deal with what is really going on, instead of becoming distracted by the behavior symptoms.

What is INTUITIVE NOURISHMENT TO YOU?

Come find out at our Luxury RETREAT

3 to 5 March 2023

Call 066 256 8468

We will gather at the Well-Being Sanctuary, 3 to 5 March for INTUITIVE NOURISHMENT.

The WBS is a very special place. The sort of place you never want to leave and always want to return to.

I felt into doing a little video series as part of my invitation for you to join us at the beautiful luxurious retreat in March when we will be journeying with the Feminine.

What intuitive nourishment is for me, is leaning into my discomfort with my breath.

The breath is very nourishing to my system, and the element of air has been supporting me and connecting me to my life force in the darker, tougher, denser moments…. and yes, I do feel those.

Instead of needing to return to a comfort zone, or a relaxed state, I journey with the lessons in life by ensuring that I am fully resourced and supported, instead of falling into one of my old patterns of “I must do it alone…”

Sending love and light

Our Story

The Well-Being Sanctuary was created by a collective of like-minded and conscious beings, pooling our hearts, skills and resources to co-create and build our dream and vision of a self-sustaining, natural health, healing and personal development retreat center, dedicated to the transformation of human consciousness.

We are dedicated to creating and developing:

- Personal growth through conscious living

* being independent and self-managed; * honoring, respecting, considering and accepting our own and each other's truth, path and journey as a sacred process; * respecting the community’s and other people’s property; * co-creating and co-existing through shared collaboration and cooperation; * upholding ecological, economic, social, cultural and spiritual sustainability; * seeking resolution by dissolving any blockages through our hearts, with clear and honest communication.
