Breath, Bread and Brushstrokes

A joyful and gentle reset for your body, mind, heart, and breath.

Set on the rolling koppies of Oaklands Farm Stay, this immersive retreat brings together breathwork, embodied practice, creativity, nourishment, and deep rest. It is a space where your system can soften, your energy can reorganise, and your breath can become a trusted companion.

What to Expect?

A carefully curated blend of practices to support both inner renewal and embodied learning:

🌅 Sunrise & sunset sessions

🌿 Nature walks in the koppies

🧘🏽 Meditation & embodied presence

🌬️ Breathwork journeys with Dr Ela Manga

🎨 Creative expression

Why This Immersive?

This retreat is designed as a living ecosystem of healing — a place where you can reconnect with:

• Yourself

• Your breath intelligence

• Your gut intelligence

• The land that holds you

• The food that nourishes you back into balance

You’ll leave not just with beautiful memories, but with practical tools, embodied understanding, and rituals you can carry into daily life. This is breathwork beyond technique — breath as medicine, breath as presence, breath as reconnection.

Who this Is for?

The Umoya Immersive is created for those who give a lot — and need a space to return to themselves:

• Worn-out leaders

• Health professionals & carers

• Coaches, therapists, educators

• Creatives

• Parents

• Anyone longing to breathe deeply again, to slow down, to recalibrate their energy and restore their clarity.

If you’re navigating pressure, overwhelm, transition, or simply a sense of being stretched thin, this retreat will meet you gently and powerfully. ‎
