Feedback from past attendees
Freedom & the Nervous System
"Prior to the retreat, I was doing too much in the name of productivity which started taking a huge toll on me. I can no longer push myself like I used to without noticing immediately, which is great. My range of awareness has definitely increased. I was also really surprised at what came up for me on retreat that my body was still holding on to. My body and being opened up to more aliveness.
I feel blessed to have witnessed and been part of such a beautiful dance of powerful facilitating with Rhianne and Karin. Such lovely nurturing wise gifted women."
~ Tiarra McLelland (California)
"I signed up for this retreat without having a clue what I might receive.
I had met Rhianne in 2017 and experienced her guidance in two retreats in South Africa and was absolutely sure that a retreat with her would be worthwhile. Karin I didn’t know, but learned fast to trust her profound knowledge and understanding of the human body and soul. Their ability to hold space for our small group with professionalism, love and compassion made deep openings and healing possible. Words are so…insufficient to describe a transformational process that lead to unbelievable changes!"
~ Petra Yehiav (Israel)
"I am very grateful to have attended The Freedom and The Nervous System retreat. I'm so looking forward to going again. I received many gifts but one vignette was being able to witness how a part of me - that part which is so dependent on being liked - reacts when under threat. Being able to track this part has brought a new awareness of my nervous system, its fluidity, its wisdom.
My capacity for empathy and compassion for myself, others, and our social nervous systems was, and remains enriched"
~ Adele Erasmus (South Africa)
“I suffered from a very low self esteem and never ever felt good enough. I attracted people and situations in to my life that reflected this.
The experiences I had while working with Karin were quite unbelievable at times. I remembered things from my early childhood that I could not recall in my normal state. It seemed my body was holding onto old trauma and this was causing limiting patterns.
Once I’d felt the pain again, in a safe place, with Karin who is very comforting. I could then release these traumas and move on. The outcome was life changing.
~ Leonard Langley (Johannesburg)
"In working with Karin and her gentle yet determined guidance, I have gained measurable and accessible understanding of my life. It feels like a truly deep dive into my human adventure. Karin has been and continues to be an incredible therapeutic guide as my soul journey through this fleshy, messy and amazing life continues."
~ Maritz Steyn (South Africa)

Into the Wild
Being in Mama Ocean with these extraordinary dolphin beings is beyond measure, truly a gift of such grace it takes the breath away. The wonder, the love, the beauty...simply immense. If you can, I highly recommend the journey. It's a rare & precious gift to meet & play with love in this form...dive in & in-joy."
~ Prema Shakti, Dunlavin, Ireland
“Every once in a while we experience something that impacts deeply and unforgettably. Swimming with wild dolphins in Malongane, Mozambique was for me one such magical event. Courtney's approach with these ocean mammals is respectful and non-intrusive - a conscious and intimate interaction."
~Julia Mary Chesselet, Kommetjie, Cape Town
“It occurs to me that we have few opportunities as a species to interact so intimately with other species we share the planet with - except those that have been domesticated and tamed...This dolphin connection experience was for me a - life changing event. Facilitated in a protected sanctuary - with care and sensitivity - for those of you in the country or not - a real gift waiting to be received!”
~ Paul Abro, Cape Town, South Africa
