Earth & Ember Wellness Retreat

Ananda Wellness Holistic Getaways, in collaboration with Love Limpopo, invites you to the Earth & Ember Wellness Retreat from the 28th to 31st March 2025, a 4-day, 3-night journey of renewal at the breathtaking Leshiba Wilderness, high in the soul-stirring Soutpansberg Mountains of Limpopo.

Here, beneath starry skies and surrounded by ancient, unspoiled nature, the elements of earth and fire converge to inspire your journey of transformation.

This is a wellness retreat where the rhythms of nature meet the art of self-discovery, and true luxury lies in the freedom to simply be.

Let the spirit of Limpopo welcome you. Let its pulse quicken your own. Here, in the wilderness, find the ember of renewal. In the stillness, hear the song of your becoming.

Earth & Ember Wellness & Cultural Experience:

Clay is earth, and like the earth beneath our feet, it holds the power to ground, transform, and inspire. Just as skilled hands mould clay into form, this retreat invites you to shape not only your inner world but also your outer journey.

  • Nurture Your Inner Practice: Daily yoga and mindfulness sessions with Lynnette Gouws provide tools to refine your inner landscape
  • Shape the Outer: Craft your own piece of Limpopo with a traditional hands-on Venda clay pot making workshop, inspired by Limpopo’s rich cultural traditions, create something tangible—a piece of the earth that becomes a lasting reminder of your transformation.
  • Ignite Your Spirit: Around the fire, release what no longer serves you and embrace renewal as the embers carry your intentions into the vast night sky.
  • Make space for renewal: In the moments of stillness transformation takes place as you enjoy sacred me-time to experience the wilderness on unspoilt trails, soak in the mountain pools, or relax in the serenity of the wilderness sanctuary.

This is a retreat where the elements come alive, guiding you to rediscover your connection to yourself and the world around you.

 The Spirit of Leshiba – A wilderness of Luxury Accommodation like no other:

Hidden in the heart of Limpopo, Leshiba Wilderness is a sanctuary where nature and culture intertwine. This unspoiled mountain landscape, alive with wildlife and vibrant heritage, offers a truly luxurious, unique accommodation experience.

  • Walk Among Wildlife: Encounter rhino, giraffe, porcupine, bat-eared foxes, and more as you explore the trails. You may even catch a glimpse of the elusive leopard.
  • Discover Ancient Stories: Marvel at rock paintings left by the first people of this land and feel the timeless pulse of those who walked here before us.
  • Embrace the Elemental: Swim in clear mountain pools, breathe in the scent of earth after rain, and gather around the fire under starlit skies.

At the heart of Leshiba Wilderness is the Venda Art Village, a masterful blend of art, culture, and eco-luxury. Designed by world-renowned artist Noria Mabasa, this reconstructed traditional Venda village is an immersive experience in itself.

  • Authentic Design: Each handcrafted structure reflects the intricate artistry of the Venda people, from sculpted walls to symbolic carvings.
  • Eco-Luxury: Stay in suites that honour traditional aesthetics while offering modern comforts, such as luxurious en-suite bathrooms and private outdoor spaces with a plunge pool and yoga platform.
  • A Home in Nature: The village seamlessly integrates into its mountain surroundings, providing a tranquil retreat infused with culture and connection.

The Venda Art Village is more than accommodation—it is an invitation to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature and heritage.
