A 3-day Personal Transformation Retreat through Art, Dance, Nature & Imagination
6–8 November 2026 · Hearth & Soul, Stanford
Investment: R4 900
There comes a point when the way you have been living no longer feels big enough for who you are becoming.
Something in you knows there is more.
More imagination.
More freedom.
More life.
More of the person you have not yet allowed yourself to become.
Turn The Page is an invitation to step out of the familiar for three days and discover what becomes possible when you change the way you see, move, create and relate to the world around you.
Not by thinking your way into a new life.
By experiencing it.
THE RIVER BENEATH THE RIVER
There is a river beneath the river.
A deeper current running underneath the life we know on the surface — underneath our routines, responsibilities, identities and familiar ways of seeing ourselves.
When we step out of our usual individual bubbles and live together as a community, something begins to surface.
We cook together.
Eat together.
Sleep under the same roof.
Share stories.
Make things together.
Move together.
Sit around the fire together.
And slowly, the things that have been quiet within us begin to speak.
This is the medicine of community.
A remembering of something ancient: we were never meant to do all of life alone.
Within this shared experience, imagination has room to return. So do forgotten desires, ways of being, parts of ourselves we have pushed aside, and possibilities we could not see from inside our usual way of living.
EXPAND THE WAY YOU SEE
Imagination is not something reserved for artists or children.
It is a way of seeing beyond what is already known.
Throughout the retreat, we use art and creative practices to loosen the grip of the familiar and open new ways of perceiving.
We will work with clay, allowing our hands to lead us somewhere the thinking mind may not yet know how to go.
We will work with shoe polish as art, using an unexpected material to explore another way of seeing and to move beyond the limitations of the familiar mind.
We will dance — allowing the body, nature and movement to become part of the conversation.
And we will enter into nature constellation, exploring how to communicate with the natural world not only by speaking to it, but by becoming quiet enough to notice when nature responds to us.
Because perhaps nature has been speaking all along.
Perhaps we simply need to learn how to listen.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF TRANSFORMATION
This is not a retreat where you sit back and receive information about how to change your life.
You become part of the experience.
You live it.
You make.
You move.
You play.
You listen.
You plunge into the river.
You share food.
You tell stories.
You create.
You rest.
You notice.
And somewhere in all of this, something can shift.
Not because someone tells you who you should become.
But because you are given enough space to encounter parts of yourself that your everyday life may not leave much room for.
THREE DAYS AT HEARTH & SOUL
For three days, Hearth & Soul becomes your home.
A beautiful natural setting surrounded by river, mountains and forest, where the landscape itself becomes part of the experience.
There will be delicious meals shared around the fire.
Stories.
Laughter.
Quiet.
Movement.
Water.
Art.
Nature.
And the simple, powerful experience of living alongside other people for a few days — with less separation and more connection.
You will stay in beautiful shared accommodation, with your own bed in one of the communal sleeping spaces.
This is part of the experience.
There is something that happens when we allow ourselves to live together rather than simply meet together.
GENTLY HELD
The retreat is held by Antonina Selina, Life Transformation Guide, and Sybille Nagel, Artist & Imagination Facilitator — two women passionate about creating spaces where people can explore, experience and transform in ways that are both deeply meaningful and grounded.
You do not need to arrive knowing what you are looking for.
You do not need to be an artist.
You do not need to know how to dance.
You do not need to have everything figured out.
Just come willing to explore.
Because when we change the way we experience ourselves and the world around us, we may discover that the page we thought we were turning...
was actually the beginning of an entirely different story.
