Discover Your Unique Retreat in Unspoiled Africa
Our Retreats
Welcome to MindWise Retreats in Africa
We believe that retreats are an opportunity to pause, reconnect, and realign with what truly matters. Over time, we’ve developed a range of unique retreat themes designed for different settings and intentions. Each one can be adapted to fit your current practice, community, and philosophy.
Retreats can be as short or as spacious as you like — from a calming weekend to a deeper multi-day experience, to a mindful solo holiday with meditation included. And if you’d prefer something specifically designed for you, I’m always happy to chat about creating a retreat that suits your current needs.
We also love collaborating with inspiring and like-minded yoga teachers to bring together mindfulness and movement — creating experiences that nurture the body/mind connection – whether in Mozambique, or elsewhere.
Wherever you are on your journey, we invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover balance in a way that feels natural and meaningful to you.
Mozambique: An incredibly special and unique place for a retreat
We came to Mozambique in 2021 to develop well-being through mindfulness meditation and retreats. Honestly, this has not been easy, as Mozambique is still unknown as a tourist destination, let alone a retreat destination. That said, that’s exactly what makes it such an incredibly special and unique place for a retreat – or as we like to call it – a mindful holiday.
Mozambique is still pure, untouched, authentic, and wild. With its unspoiled beaches, turquoise waters, and the warm embrace of the Indian Ocean, it offers superb snorkeling and diving, the kindness of beautiful people, and vast, undiscovered Big Five national parks — all providing the perfect backdrop for your inner well-being journey. Here, you’ll find peace, tranquility, and new inspiration.
If you decide to come to Mozambique for a retreat, we promise you won’t regret it. It’s a truly beautiful place. It’s hard to put into words the experiences we’ve had here since 2021 — and we don’t want this to sound like a sales pitch. You simply have to come and experience it for yourself.
We run several group retreats throughout the year, each uniquely designed and themed by Gerry. All titles and concepts are our own.
For now, our retreats take place only in Mozambique, but we’re also partnering with others across Africa to create new experiences in the future.
Group Retreats
8 Day/ 7 Nights Womens Meditation Retreat - Waves Wellness & Wildlife - April 2026
In 2026, for the first time, we’ll combine meditation practice by the beach with a truly unique Safari experience — set in the untouched, little-known, and spectacularly beautiful Zinave National Park.
We’ll start in Vilanculos from where we’ll embark on an off-road adventure into Africa’s true heart.
This exclusive women’s retreat is designed to give you the space to unwind, restore, and reconnect with yourself — in a setting of pure tranquility.

Solo Retreats
Ocean Mind, Ocean Life
Exclusive Solo Meditation Retreat — available year-round in Mozambique
If the dates for our group retreats don’t align with your schedule, our Exclusive Solo Meditation Retreat offers a deeply personal way to reconnect and recharge in a beautiful, unspoiled environment — on dates that suit you.
This fully personalized retreat invites you to slow down, breathe, and return to yourself.
In meditation, the ocean often mirrors the mind: thoughts like waves rise and fall, returning to the still, vast depth beneath. During this mindful holiday, we’ll explore the essence of the ocean mind, with the healing, ever-present ocean right outside your door.
Each morning begins with guided meditation, and afternoons offer restorative ocean-inspired activities — all thoughtfully included in your retreat experience.
