At When Women Rise, we understand that women need time to step back from their busy lives and take care of themselves. We also know how tough transitions like motherhood, divorce, menopause as well as mental and physical health crises can be – we have been there ourselves.
We create safe spaces for women to catch their breath, rest and heal in the African bush. Experienced retreat leaders facilitate daily sessions to help you find your path, purpose and true self again so that you can engage in the world with renewed energy and focus.
So, if you are in a time of transition or just need a break we might just be what you need.
Our 4-night luxury safari retreats in a 5-star game reserve close to
Cape Town are carefully curated to leave you invigorated and pampered by the time you return home. Our program includes daily sessions of reflection and
empowerment, game drives, me-time, nature walks, star gazing, spa time and
storytelling around the fire. Our retreats are intimate with a maximum of 12 women and led by our founder Melanie Verwoerd, who has a deep understanding of and passion for empowering women.
