You may not say it out loud to many people… but somewhere inside you, is something not questioning reality and your place in this world moving forward?
Perhaps you’ve achieved some of what you once set out to do, but still remain unfulfilled and unsettled within you. Perhaps you’re weighed down with responsibilities, decisions, or uncertainties about what lies ahead and yearn for more inner stability and resilience.
While the world feels more chaotic and less predictable. Do you wonder:
Is this really how I want to live the next chapter of my life?
YOUR SOUL’S VOICE IS CALLING

If you’ve been feeling stretched, questioning your decisions and direction, or maybe sensing that something deeper is calling you forward – this may be your soul’s cry now for you to awaken.
There comes a stage in life when the soul asks for more than mere survival, achievement, or surface entertainment and distraction. It asks for meaning. A way of living that feels authentic and honest. A way not dependant on the world outside of you being this way or that way.
If what I have written resonates with the deeper essence within you, then our Hogsback Retreat with Michelle McClunan and I is most likely the answer to your soul’s calling.
March Equinox
During the powerful southern hemisphere autumn equinox – March 20 to 24th – a moment of perfect balance between light and dark opens and we are inviting you to step out of the confusion and into the sacred stillness of Hogsback. Held in the quiet embrace of the majestic Amatola Mountains (an easy 2 hours shuttle-ride up from the East London International airport), this is your opportunity to Shift.)
SOUL NOURISHMENT
Here, ancient indigenous forests, cascading waterfalls, and vast mountain skies create a natural sanctuary for soul connection, reflection and spirit renewal. At The Edge Mountain Retreat, you will walk one of the world’s most exquisite labyrinths inspired by the sacred design of Chartres Cathedral Labyrinth – a powerful portal to inner balance and true healing.
Over four days, you will be guided through simple yet powerful teachings, process art sessions, flowing qi-gong, nature immersions, good food and meaningful soul connections with others like you.
You will be held in a sacred space to:
- Let go of what no longer serves you
• Gain clarity about the direction of your next chapter
• Reconnect with your inner guidance
• Restore your energy and emotional equilibrium
• Strengthen your capacity to meet the world with inner-presence and authentic confidence
You do not need to be “spiritual enough.”
You do not need to have everything figured out.
You simply need to feel the quiet call that it may now be time to deepen your shift.
As one previous participant shared:
“You have both given me a gift that is far more valuable than anything one could physically receive. The retreat has been life altering.” – Kate (see Kate’s full video testimonial, plus many others, on our website)
If something in you resonates as you read this, trust that feeling.
Life doesn’t have to change through prolonged suffering any more. It can change through simple conscious choice.
This Equinox is your opportunity to step into greater balance, purpose, and peace – not someday, when but now.
The journey begins with a single decision.
Are you ready?
Love & Blessings

P.S. March 20–24 falls during one of the most energetically powerful Equinox portals of the year – and spaces at The Edge Mountain Retreat are limited to keep this experience intimate and transformational. If you feel the nudge, I encourage you not to wait. These gatherings tend to fill with those who respond when their inner voice says “yes.” If this is you, we’d love to have you with us. Don’t let thoughts of scarcity stop you. Email us for full details, or visit our website www.journeysofawakening.com
