About this Retreat
Your Guides
Hey, I’m Louis — a bit of a barefoot philosopher, a hippie at heart, and a believer in the healing power of breath, presence, and nature.
For years, I searched for meditations that actually worked — not just for one night, but for a lifetime. The kind that keep opening you, deeper and deeper, every time.
Most didn’t. The mind learns the route too fast.
But drumming circles, nature, and a few good fires under the stars — those became my medicine.
Life went on — until it didn’t
It hit hard.
Divorce.
Children.
Business falling apart.
Doubt.
Uncertainty.
Nights with too many thoughts
and no way out.
It felt like life had handed me a double portion of lessons all at once. Pure chaos all over.
That’s when I started asking the big questions.
What is this life really about?
Why are we programmed the way we are?
And how do you “stay positive” when fifty thousand thoughts keep spinning circles in your head, defending, arguing with ghosts, replaying, worrying, trying to fix what can’t be fixed?
That’s when I found a guru.
A teacher whose voice carried something ancient.
Twenty-four recordings —simple words, but spoken from silence.
They weren’t fancy — no angel choirs, — just clear truth and deep silence.
Each recording carried me deeper into stillness, until I began to feel the energy of silence itself.
It was as if those teachings tuned my soul to a new frequency — one where breath, sensation, and awareness started to dance together.
Inhale — contract.
Gather the tension.
Exhale — expand.
Let it all go.
It was as if i had found the reset button for the nervous system —a return to calm, clarity, and joy.
From this space of stillness, I began exploring the energy of positive emotions — gratitude, peace, trust, excitement, and love — learning how each one creates a unique vibration within the body and spirit.
It invites you to move beyond the chatter of the mind and into the beauty of being.
Calm.
Peace.
Golden silence.
You already breathe all day long — might as well learn to enjoy it.
That deep kind of quiet
where the soul starts to whisper again.
Now, I share this — not as a guru, but as a fellow traveler who’s been there. Who’s walked through the noise, and found stillness on the other side.
If you’re stuck in your head, I can help you come home — into the heart, into the body, into the now.
That’s where the magic lives.
That’s where we remember who we really are.
That’s where we enjoy.
Turning the act of living into something delicious.
Details of this retreat
This is a gentle return to what is real.
Set in wild, quiet nature, this retreat invites solo travelers, friends and couples to slow down, soften, and listen. Days unfold through forest walks, waterfall hikes, shared meals, silence, laughter, journaling, drumming, humming, and deep, embodied meditation. There is time together, and time alone — both equally sacred.
Rather than fixing or improving, we practice remembering: how to breathe fully, feel honestly, forgive lightly, and rest inside the body. The land holds us while we reconnect with pleasure, presence, and the simple joy of being alive.
Come as you are. Leave a little lighter.

Accommodation
The view itself becomes a teacher — the slow movement of mist, the steady hills, the vast open sky, all reminding you to slow down, observe, and rest in the moment. Here, distractions fall away, making it easier to focus, to listen inwardly, and to connect with the spaciousness within. High above the valley, this place naturally invites stillness. The wide horizons, soft golden light, and endless layers of forest create a calm that quiets the mind without effort. Surrounded by nature and far from city noise, the senses soften, the breath deepens, and the body relaxes into presence. This is not just a beautiful location. It is a natural meditation space where peace rises effortlessly from the land. It’s a place where time slows down, allowing you to reconnect with nature’s rhythms. The setting is both wild and nurturing, a perfect balance for self-healing, meditation, and deep rest. Waterfalls, forests, fresh air, and good vibes in Transkei Wild Coast, Eastern Cape. Far away from the everyday busy rat race reality. Crowned Eagle House lives up to its name, perched at a breathtaking viewpoint on the edge of the plateau ridge, it offers the very best setting, view, and atmosphere for deep rest and meditation. This open-plan, funky little retreat has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Inside, you'll find a cozy self-catering kitchen with all essentials: a gas stove, a microwave, a small fridge, and an en-suite toilet. Step outside to the unique hot shower, designed with wide doors so the incredible scenery becomes part of your bathing ritual. The sleeping arrangements are simple and welcoming: a double bed, a bunk bed, and a group deck chair perfectly positioned in front of that unforgettable panorama. A set of rustic log steps leads up to the loft, where two mattresses rest under a large window giving you a direct line to the same awe-inspiring view the moment you wake. And the view? At 380 meters above sea level, it's nothing short of magnificent. Vast Afro-montane forests stretch out below into a massive valley, while hundreds of rolling hills are dotted with grasslands, indigenous forests, and homesteads. On clear days, the ocean glimmers faintly on the horizon. Located in Gwexintaba village, home of the 144-meter Magwa Falls, in the heart of the Wild Coast's Pondoland region, Eastern Cape, South Africa this is a retreat where nature's grandeur and serenity come together. Crowned Eagle House is more than just accommodation. It's a sanctuary. A place to breathe deeply, to reconnect, and to let the spectacular beauty around you guide your meditation. The Family Rondavel This thatched-roof, roundhouse retreat offers a warm and grounding off-grid experience for up to six people. Inside, you'll find a double bed and two sturdy bunk beds, making it an ideal space for families or small groups. Next door, the self-catering kitchen is centered around a rocket stove that provides cozy warmth on cool evenings, with seating gathered comfortably around it. The kitchen also includes a two-plate gas stove, fridge, preparation counter, large dining table, and double basin everything you need for simple, shared meals. Multiple fire areas are located close by, with plenty of firewood ready for use, inviting you to gather, cook, or simply enjoy the night sky. A short step from your room, you'll find your own private hot bucket shower a refreshing, grounding ritual powered by fire and an off-grid water heater. Just beyond, the private composting toilet opens to a magnificent view, making even the simplest routines a memorable experience. This is not luxury accommodation, but an adventurous and deeply grounding way to reconnect with nature.
