For a Soul-Awakening Experience of your life…
FLOWERING INTO BEING
Are you feeling stuck – and quietly longing for something deeper?
You may not share this openly with many people. But somewhere within you, something is stirring. Something is questioning – your reality, your direction, your place in this world as it continues to change around you.
Perhaps you have achieved some of what you once set out to do, and yet a sense of fulfilment still eludes you. Perhaps you are weighed down by responsibilities, decisions, or uncertainties about what lies ahead – and you find yourself yearning for greater inner stability, resilience and peace.
In a world that feels increasingly chaotic and unpredictable, a quiet voice within may be asking:
Is this really how I want to live the next chapter of my life?
YOUR SOUL IS CALLING
There comes a stage in life when something deeper stirs – when the soul asks for more than mere survival, achievement, or surface-level distraction. It asks for meaning, purpose and possibly deeper love. For a way of living that feels genuinely authentic and honest. A way that does not depend on the outside world being a certain way in order for you to feel at peace within.
If you have been feeling stretched, questioning your direction, or sensing that something deeper is calling you forward – this may be the moment your soul has been waiting for.
SOUL RETREAT
Join Michelle McClunan and me in the magical mountain village of Hogsback from Friday the 9 to Tuesday the 13 October for a life-changing four-day retreat – one that promises deep transformation, profound self-discovery and lasting change – showing you a new path.
This is your opportunity to truly shift.
SOUL NOURISHMENT
Imagine yourself held in the sacred embrace of the mountain village of Hogsback in the Eastern Cape – where ancient indigenous forests, cascading waterfalls and vast mountain skies create a natural sanctuary for deep soul connection, reflection and renewal.
Here, nature emanates a quiet, indigenous wisdom – and transformation unfolds more naturally and effortlessly than you might imagine.
Just an easy two hours from East London International Airport by shuttle, Hogsback is one of South Africa’s most beloved and magical sanctuaries. And it is calling you.
At The Edge Mountain Retreat, you will be guided in walking one of the world’s most exquisite labyrinths – inspired by the sacred design of Chartres Cathedral – a powerful portal to inner balance and deep healing.
Over four days, you will be gently guided through:
-
Simple yet powerful life-changing spiritual teachings
-
Process art sessions which release you from old stuck energies
-
Flowing morning qi-gong to revitalise your soul
-
Immersions in nature to nourish your spirit
-
Nourishing food to restore the body
-
Meaningful connection with others who, like you, are ready for this shift
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 own inner guidance
-
Restore your energy and emotional equilibrium
-
Strengthen your capacity to meet life with presence, authenticity and 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.
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, and many others, on our website)
And one more:
“…complete liberation of my entire being/my soul – it was/is so empowering. Thank you for allowing me to just be ‘me’. Loved the flow of the retreat and its variety of activities and nature time. Many thanks John & Michelle – you two are amazing & work really well as a team.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.” – Ryan O’Connor
CLOSING
If something in you resonates as you read this – trust that feeling.
Life does not have to change through prolonged suffering. It can change through a single, conscious choice.
This Spring Retreat is your opportunity to step into greater balance, purpose and peace – not someday, but now.
The journey begins with a single decision.
Are you ready?
Now is the opportune time to drop your unconscious programming…
You Were Born to Awaken and to become the CONCIOUS CREATOR of your Life…
During this potent time, Michelle McClunan (Astrologer & Process Art Facilitator) and John Homewood (Spiritual Life Coach & Transformational Facilitator) will gently guide retreatants through unique and powerful experiential processes including Process Art as well as the 7 Golden Keys to Awakened Living — clearing the patterns and blocks that prevent them from living a truly abundant, meaningful and fulfilled life .
The retreat is held at The Edge Mountain Retreat in the magical village of Hogsback, one of South Africa’s most beloved sacred spaces.
Are you feeling soul-weary? Are you in need of a Shift? – In need of new direction and new purpose in life?
There is a better way to live – and Now is the time to find it.
In October we are graced with the beauty of Spring in Hogsback, a natural portal for deep rebirth.
Let go of what no longer serves you — and step into a life of greater presence, peace, purpose and joy.
Return home feeling washed clean of old emotional patterns — re-energised, renewed, and equipped with practical, life-changing tools to navigate your world with clarity, confidence and an open heart.
The journey begins now.
Is your heart ready to embrace it?
A BEAUTIFUL AND SACRED SPACE OF TRANSFORMATION…
In all my years of nearly 80 years I have attended many courses, workshops and seminars but I can honestly say that John’s workshop is the best and most amazing I have ever attended. His presentation, his person, his energy and love moved me beyond words. I came seeking peace and I found more that I had hoped for. Thank you John. Namaste” Colin Katz
“ John you have the most inspiring way of presenting Universal truths. What you say and most of all how you say it is fantastic !
Michelle your space holding and empathic ability is extraordinary and the art processes you facilitated are often deeply profound in terms of suppressed emotions or trauma coming to the surface for healing but in a most gentle and undramatic way“. ANTOINETTE
Hogsback is a sanctuary of breath-taking beauty and deep tranquillity. Just a scenic two-hour drive from East London International Airport, this enchanting haven welcomes you into a world where nature weaves its magic with every whisper of the refreshing mountain breeze.
Lose yourself in the wonder of South Africa’s oldest indigenous forests, where ancient trees stand as silent guardians of presence, and cascading waterfalls create mesmerizing symphonies of healing sound. The deep blue skies, the swirling mists and ever-changing cloud formations paint an ethereal landscape, adding to the allure of this pristine paradise.
From The Edge, gaze upon spectacular panoramic views of indigenous tree’d valleys, deep, mysterious gorges, and hidden waterfalls—each beckoning you to explore their secrets. And at the heart of it all lies a masterpiece—one of the most exquisite labyrinths in the country, inspired by the sacred Chartres Cathedral labyrinth in France. Surrounded by magnificent gardens and breath-taking vistas, it offers a sacred space for reflection, transformation, and profound inner journeying.
Whether seeking soul connection with like-minded soul travellers, or a deeper connection to nature’s wisdom, The Edge Mountain Retreat promises an experience that lingers in the soul long after you depart.
