Inviting Aphrodite – The succulent wild woman within
A women`s retreat
NEW DATES! 29 SEPTEMBER – 3 OCTOBER 2021
4-night Rustic Wild Dolphin Retreat
With Verity Maud and Courtney Ward
You are invited to press pause and take yourself away to a little slice of ‘Heaven on Earth’- the very meaning of the name Ponta Malongane.
Your inner wild woman is calling you to spend some time with her, re-connecting and deepening your relationship with her.
As women, we have strong instincts that are inherent. These can all too easily be quieted by the fast paced demands of life in the 21st century. We are expected to carry the same responsibilities that our fathers had and still be all woman. It may be the moment to sink your toes into warm beach sand and take time out to connect to the profound feminine within.
We will be working with the feminine archetypes to inspire movement into discovering the incredible beauty, compassion, power, sensuality and pleasure that resides in true femininity. We meditate at sunrise, journal, swim with wild dolphins in a pristine nature reserve, dance, create, connect, walk,, share, heal and play within the sacred circle of sisterhood.
No movement, meditation or writing experience required whatsoever. A safe space is created for you to explore and express freely.
She invites you…

Rustic Safari Tented Camp
The Rustic Tented Camp forms part of a much bigger resort, however, it is privately tucked away in the far corner of the resort and consists of 14 two-bed units. All tents are built on wooden decking with two single beds and linen, nestled in the forest canopy with hundreds of birds, butterflies, bush babies and monkeys. Clean ablution facilities are situated within the tented camp, for the exclusive use of the tented camp guests only. The resort lies right on the beach so that you can be gently lulled to sleep by the ocean surf. Full self-catering facilities are available as part of the resort’s dive centre with staff members who are happy to assist with cleaning up after meals.

The most life-changing retreat I have been on, so much wonder, so much bliss infused with tears, laughter, stories and sensuality. Verity and Courtney took us to deep, deep places, healing places, I have no words. I have so much gratitude and love for all of us who dove in. What a privilege on all levels – Thank you Verity Maud, thank you Courtney Ward and all my soul sisters.
I wish this for every woman who yearns for her wild nature and personal freedom. Thank you to Verity and Courtney for what was one of the most profound human/soul experiences. The dance, the music, the sharing, the wonder of dolphins, the kiss of sun and the embrace of women. I am deeply moved. Forever changed.
