HOGSBACK EQUINOX IMMERSION
11 – 15 September 2026
BECOMING YOUR OWN CONSCIOUS CREATOR
INCORPORATING:
THE 7 GOLDEN KEYS TO AWAKENED LIVING
A Soul Awakening Immersion in the Sacred Mountain Forests of Hogsback in South Africa
You Were Born to Awaken and become the Conscious Creator in your Life…
This September, in the heart of the sacred Amatola Mountains, something special is being held for a small and intimate group of souls.
During the potent Spring Equinox, Michelle McClunan (Astrologer & Process Art Facilitator) and John Homewood (Spiritual Life Coach & Transformational Facilitator) will gently guide retreatants through powerful experiential processes — clearing the patterns and blocks that prevent them from living a truly abundant, meaningful and fulfilled life — and through the 7 Golden Keys to Awakened Living.
The retreat is held at The Edge sanctuary in the magical village of Hogsback, one of South Africa’s most beloved sacred spaces.
Are you feeling soul-tired and in need of a Shift – in need of new direction and purpose in life?
There is a better way to live your life now!
During this time, we are graced with the Spring Equinox in the southern hemisphere, a celestial catalyst for deep rebirth —ushering in a moment of perfect balance, where light and dark meet in sacred symmetry.
Awaken your soul in the magic of Hogsback in autumn. Let go of what no longer serves you and embrace a new life with greater levels of presence, peace, purpose, and joy!
Picture yourself immersed in the sacred embrace of the majestic Amatola Mountains (an easy 2 hours drive up from East London International airport in a shuttle) in the Eastern Cape, where nature whispers indigenous wisdom and where transformation unfolds more effortlessly. This is your invitation to step into a more vibrant, authentic new version of yourself.
Join renowned guides John Homewood and Michelle McClunan in mystical Hogsback for a 4-day retreat that promises transformation, profound self-discovery and lasting change.
John & Michelle with gently guide those ready to shift and awaken through the 7 Golden Keys to Spiritual Awakening – and your life will never be the same again.

A BEAUTIFUL PLACE OF TRANSFORMATION…
THE EDGE MOUNTAIN RETREAT
Hogsback, Eastern Cape
Residential Retreat
Hogsback is a sanctuary of breathtaking beauty and deep tranquility. 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 breathtaking vistas, it offers a sacred space for reflection, transformation, and profound inner journeying.
