Day 1 : FIRE
Arrival, Ignition and Primal Rhythm
WELCOME TO AFRICA!
From the moment you touch down in Cape Town, your Soul Safari journey begins.
A private driver awaits your arrival for a seamless, scenic transfer to our 5 Star, award-winning sanctuary, nestled at the foot of Table Mountain in the winelands—your home for the next six days of restoration and reconnection.
Your suite, scented with native fynbos and curated with soulful details, invites you to exhale and arrive fully.
Rest, Unwind & Rejuvenate
Upon arrival, take the afternoon to settle deeply into the space. Unpack at your own pace, sip a welcome infusion on your private terrace, or rest in the gardens to the sound of birdsong.
This is your time to unplug from the external world and begin softening into presence. Let your nervous system decompress. Let the land hold you.
Optional spa amenities, lounging by the natural spring pool, or a guided garden walk are available if you feel called to move gently.
Self-Ritual: Rasul Mud Temple
Enter the healing space of the Self-Rasul Mud Room—a private, elemental cleansing ritual inspired by ancient desert traditions.
Coat your skin with mineral-rich clay, infused with essential oils and botanical extracts from the land. Breathe in the steam. Let the Earth absorb what you no longer need.
This 30-minute solo experience allows you to silently shed the journey behind and prepare for the sacred space ahead.
· This treatment may be used during any point within your stay and is not required to occur on Day One.
Sacred Fire Ceremony Opening Circle
We gather in sacred space to officially open the retreat container, setting individual and collective intentions.A
Surrounded by nature, our facilitators will guide you through invocation, breathwork, and conscious presence—igniting the inner fire that will carry you through your Soul Safari.
Tribal African Drum Circle
As twilight descends, we gather around the fire under open sky.
Led by an African Tribal drummer group, the beat begins slow—earthy, ancient, familiar.
You’ll be invited into rhythm, into body, into tribe.
This is the rekindling of your primal voice, the return to your inner wild. Offer to the flames anything you wish to leave behind.
This is where your transformation begins.
