A sacred space for women:
Our experiences need a place to land.
Our bodies yearn to release what they carry.
Our hearts seek the quiet compassion of being truly witnessed.
We invite you to soften and remember through Ayurvedic ritual and sisterhood. A retreat with Claudia Batschari (Ayurveda with Claudia) and Tharien Pieterse (Mindful Motion).

You have become very good at carrying things.
Your work.
Your family.
Other people’s needs.
The endless decisions of everyday life.
Somewhere along the way, your own body became the quietest voice in the room.
Remembering Softness is an invitation to slow down long enough to hear it again.
Over four days at the Wild Pod, nestled within the forests of Bodhi Khaya, we invite you into a small circle of women where there is space to soften, to be witnessed and to remember that you don’t have to carry everything alone.
Together we’ll reconnect with the rhythms of Mother Earth, the wisdom of the forest, the flow of water and the vast African sky. Through nourishing Ayurvedic meals, medicinal tonics, embodied movement, breathwork, women’s circles and quiet moments in nature, we’ll practise the gentle art of simply being.
We’ll honour the many seasons of a woman’s life, from coming of age to menopause and everything in between. We believe that when women feel safe enough to soften, they rediscover a quiet strength that has always been there.
Our intention is not to tell you what your body needs, but to help you remember how to listen to it again. We are committed to creating a space that invites you to trust your own experience, reconnect with your body and reclaim your personal authority.
