NAKED THE RETREAT
NAKED The Retreat is a space for collective evolution.
For 8 transformative days, we will take you on a deep dive back to your essence.
Embraced by the serene energy of the Well-Being Sanctuary, a breathtaking venue surrounded by wild nature, you will immerse yourself in a space of connection, discovery and liberation.
In this sacred container we step into the “naked circle” through daily practices and nourishing rituals, where the invitation is to enliven our soul, heighten our awareness, and embody our naked truth.
Guided by the fundamental pillars of breath, movement, sound, and touch, you will explore what it means to live naked in your soul, unburdened by fear and free from attachments.
Together, we meet our most vulnerable edges. We cry, we laugh, we unravel what has been held within and what holds us back. And in doing so, we reclaim our right to live fully.
The NAKED Soul vision goes beyond a single gathering. This is how we live and show up; and we’re here to build a global community of courageous souls, bound by a shared commitment to living authentically—not just for a week, but for life.
This is about creating connections that endure, offering support long after the retreat ends, and giving you a taste of what life feels like when lived fully awaken as Love.

NAKED Soul Experience is a living, breathing playground—a sacred and brave container for exploration. Due to its nature, it doesn’t fit into a rigid programme, but rather a flexible structure that can respond to the needs of the whole group.
The facilitators will listen, adapt, co-create and hold the space with intention and guidance, offering tools, rituals, and practices.
NAKED Arena
Each day unfolds with intentional practices designed to guide you through emotional exploration, embodiment, and conscious self-inquiry.
You will learn how to:
Evening Rituals
Enter the sacred realm of conscious touch, boundaries, consent and sacred sexuality, offering a safe space to explore intimacy, presence, and connection.
Community Support
Together, we build a foundation of trust, consistency, and mutual support. Through play, laughter, tears and deep sharing, you experience the power of being truly seen and held.
Some of the methods and techniques we have used in previous retreats:
This experience is free from mobile phones, computers, watches, stimulants, drugs, alcohol and animal products. We take a rest from these aspects of living to see what arises when we put them on hold and be with the space this decision creates for us. The invitation is to explore our relationship to them, not to attempt to convert you into any dogmatic ideas, but purely for the process of self-inquiry.
For nearly a decade, NAKED was built on a purely gift-based model, inspired by Ubuntu: “I am because we are.” Allowing participants to determine their own exchange after the experience taught us the power of generosity, trust, and community. However, as our vision grows and our team, venue, and logistical needs expand, we’ve recognised the need for a sustainable baseline to ensure that NAKED Soul can continue to flourish.
We remain deeply inspired by models like Vipassana, where those who have the means help to fund the experience for others. While we’re not in a position yet to offer fully gift-based retreats again, we carry forward the essence of generosity and interdependence.

The place where magic will happen!
The Well-Being Sanctuary lives up to its name with majestic mountain, forest, and lake views. It is a secluded and peaceful getaway located at the heart of the beautiful Garden Route in South Africa, providing the perfect environment to disconnect from the hustle and bustle.
It’s a true sanctuary for individuals, families, and friends to rest, reset and recharge. Ground and reconnect to your true nature and roots, while exploring this safe space. When you feel lost in all the distractions of your daily life, come home to what feels good within you.
Be woken up by the sounds of silence and perhaps the calling of the fish eagles patrolling the lake. There is nothing better than reconnecting with yourself through nature, self-care, and personal growth.
