About the festival

Retreat Yourself is a four-day family-friendly wellness festival taking place at the same venue as the popular Origin Festival, approximately 90 minutes from Cape Town in a natural forest setting with no cellphone reception, designed to help you pause, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and step away from the noise of everyday life. The festival features dedicated spaces including the Yoasis for yoga and movement, Soul Centre for ceremonies and meditation, Sacred Sweat Lodge for traditional purification rituals, Roller Rink for disco and dynamic movement classes, Forest Stage for live music and DJs, Secret Dance Floor for late-night dancing under the stars, and Vitality Village offering SUP yoga, wood-fired saunas, ice baths, and IV drips by the river. Additional offerings include the Talk Circle for conversations on plant medicine, astrology, and healing, The Spa for therapeutic treatments, healing modalities in collaboration with Magickal Gem, The Red Tent sacred women's space curated by Valentina Leo, Good Vibrations sound dome, Stone Hall for the banquet dinner featuring organic seasonal produce, Kids Club with qualified childminders for ages 1-15, a Cinema, and The Village Market with vegetarian and vegan food vendors and handcrafted goods. Accommodation includes various glamping options, three camping neighborhoods, and a family campsite, with activities ranging from breathwork and workshops to stand-up comedy, mountain biking, and swimming by the dam.
