MindWise Mozambique

MindWise Mozambique Join us on a journey to relate differently to your mind and developing your skills to become more aware and present. Africa is a teacher

We offer Mindfulness meditation workshops, retreats & holidays from our base in the Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique. MindWise offers different ways to get to know how our minds work. Using mindful meditation, you will see how we can reach a place of calmness away from the busy, overthinking mind. The thinking mind can cause us stress, low moods and anxiety - who would not want to reduce this and find more peacefulness and calmness in their lives? There are many ways to find this - by taking a course, coming to a retreat, or attending one of the MindWise workshops. Follow us here to learn more about what we offer.

Waves, Wellness & Wildlife - An adventurous Boutique Retreat for Women in Mozambique

This is not a typical retreat.

Waves, Wellness & Wildlife is a small-group adventure for women who crave nature, sustainability and meaning — from turquoise seas to untamed African wilderness.

Together we host this intimate group retreat in April, combining beach, safari, and wellbeing.

We take you from the beautiful beaches of Vilanculos to the raw, remote unknown beauty of Zinave National Park. Limited to just seven women, this is an exclusive, personal, unique and unforgettable experience.

A Mindful Holiday with Ocean, Beach & Safari
Begin with relaxing days by the ocean in Vilanculos, the gateway to the breathtaking and legendary Bazaruto Archipelago. Enjoy daily meditation, snorkelling on the Two Mile Reef, fresh seafood, yoga and a private island experience with a guided meditation in a truly special setting.

Then we go off-road. An overland expedition takes us more than 200 km through remote villages and wild landscapes to Zinave National Park — a vast, wild landscape of over 400.000 ha. - home to the Big Five. Stay in comfortable safari tents overlooking the Save River, where hippos, crocodiles, and birdlife surround our riverside camp. Expect game drives at sunrise and sunset, riverside life, campfires, and nights spent under vast African skies.

Wild Places - Clear Minds
Each morning begins with meditation, supported by the natural rhythm of ocean or bush. This retreat invites you to slow down, explore the nature of your mind, and reconnect with yourself and nature.

You will learn, discover and experience:
- how to meditate or deepen your existing practice
- how mindfulness meditation supports and helps with modern life’s challenges
- the healing power of nature, ocean, and the bush.

A rare chance to experience the real, pure Africa — and yourself.
Fully guided, inclusive and safe.

Many cultures and traditions have welcomed the return of the light during these dark days of winter. Now that I am back in Europe for a short time, the winter days beckon stillness and silence. It’s a time for slowing down and taking stock of our lives, a time for looking inwards.

Close to my home village in Ireland lies a magnificent Neolithic chamber, in Newgrange, Co. Meath. This UNESCO heritage site is a magnificent place to visit. Built over 5,000 years ago, even before the pyramids, nobody really knows why this chamber was built, but on the shortest day of the year, the winter solstice on December 21st, something wonderful happens. As the sun rises over the horizon (if it does, in cloudy Ireland!), its rays shine along a narrow corridor and brilliantly illuminates the interior chamber that lies under the mound. Just think - over 5,000 years ago, our ancestors had the means to calculate this with exact precision - they were not just primitive hunter gatherers!

Even then, the ancient Irish were welcoming the return of the light. Even on the darkest and shortest day of the year, the light begins to return.

On December 21st, along with Anne van der Vaart of , we will also recognise the light of renewal in our lives. Even on our darkest days, the light is always present, always there to be welcomed. Renewal is always possible, even in the depths of our own personal winters.

On the shortest day of the year I will find myself back in the beautiful studio of in Oostermeer, Friesland, for a morning mini-retreat. Together with Anne we will reflect on the stillness that winter brings. It's a time for slowing down, a time for pausing and contemplation during the dark winter days. But on this shortest day, the light also begins to return so we will focus on renewal in our lives, reflecting the tradition of the winter solstice and the return of the light. Come and retreat with us and embrace the stillness of a winter's morning.
