Safety is where transformation begins.

At Kamala Karoo Sanctuary, every experience is guided with presence and care. You are never rushed, never unseen, never alone in your process.

Sound healing invites your body to release what words cannot.
Wild swimming returns you to the language of nature.
Open-air yoga reminds you how it feels to breathe with the land.
And the guided labyrinth walk holds space for what your soul already knows.

Here, you are seen. You are held. You are loved into stillness.
Because healing only happens when you feel safe enough to open.

Kamala Karoo Sanctuary, a sanctuary for the body, mind and spirit.

There’s a lot more to do at Kamala than sleep in and sip tea on the stoep (though we highly recommend both).

Here, days unfold slowly and beautifully. You can float in the pool, wander through the gardens, or lose track of time in the library. Join a guided labyrinth walk, experience sound healing, book a massage, or sit beneath the trees and journal.

Bring your own book, or borrow one from our shelves. You might find a story that feels a little like your own.

Kamala Karoo Sanctuary. A place to rest, explore, and rediscover the simple joy of doing what feels good for the soul.

An open invitation to come and sit with your soul for a while.

No hurry.

No expectations.

Just stillness, breath, and the quiet remembering of who you are beneath the noise.

At Kamala Karoo Sanctuary you are held by nature, by silence, by peace.

A space to listen within and come home to yourself.

Over the retreat we will
• drink teas and tinctures

In his hands the Buddha holds a quiet invitation for you to return to yourself.

In many traditions, the Buddha’s open hands represent peace, compassion, and presence.

They remind us to pause, to release what we are holding too tightly, and to rest in awareness.

At Kamala Karoo Sanctuary this symbol is a reminder that stillness is not outside of you — it lives within, waiting for your return.

Trust the unfolding of the situation you are in.
Not everything needs to be rushed or controlled.

Breathe.
Align.
Receive.

What is meant for you will always find its way in calm, not chaos.

When last did you do something that truly serves you?

Not to please, not to perform, not to tick another box —
but to nourish your body, quiet your mind, and fill your spirit.

At Kamala Karoo Sanctuary we invite you to return to yourself.
To rest. To listen. To do something that serves you.

Take a moment to pause. The world can wait.

Pause from your phone.
Pause from answering the next call.
Pause from work, from tending to the garden, from doing.

Stillness is not wasted time.
It is how you return to yourself.

Hold a crystal against your head and feel how everything begins to quiet down.
It is not magic. It is presence.
The cool weight helps your mind slow down and your breath return to rhythm.

Crystals remind us to pause, to connect, to listen to what is happening inside.
They bring you back to your body, back to calm, back to now.

A garden only blooms when it is tended to.
It needs water, light, care, and patience.

So do you.

When you rest, nourish yourself, and give your mind stillness, you begin to flourish.
Growth happens quietly, just like in the garden.

At Kamala Karoo Sanctuary we believe your inner world deserves the same gentle care as the one that blooms around you.

Dopamine burnout happens when your brain is overstimulated and tired from constant reward chasing.

You feel restless, distracted, anxious, and never fully satisfied.

Even rest feels uncomfortable.

Stillness and deep rest allow your nervous system to reset.

When you slow down, breathe, and stop reaching for stimulation, your brain begins to find balance again.

At Kamala Karoo Sanctuary we invite you to rest until your body remembers calm.
