If our group retreat dates don’t fit your schedule, our exclusive Solo Meditation Retreat at home with us in Mozambique offers a personalised escape to rest, reconnect, and recharge in a beautiful, unspoiled setting — on dates that suit you. Slow down, breathe deeply, and return to yourself as we explore the calm and spaciousness of the “ocean mind,” with the healing ocean just outside your door. Each day includes guided meditation and restorative ocean-inspired experiences, all thoughtfully designed to support relaxation and inner balance.

Why Mozambique?

We came to Mozambique in 2021 to develop well-being through mindfulness meditation and retreats.

Honestly, it’s not an easy road 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.

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.

Can't travel to Mozambique?

Gerry offers personalized online retreats and one-on-one sessions, designed around what matters most to you. Whether you’re looking for more calm, clarity, or support in your practice, we’ll work together in a way that fits your life needs.

  Very enlightening and amazing experience. Came away from the course with more curiosity, understanding and the tools to carry on with the sessions at home. Definitely would recommend everyone should do this course and Gerry is a fantastic teacher!

  We spent a week in Vilanculos and booked a mindfulness introductory course with Mindwise. We were curious if mindfulness would be helpful for us and we actually really enjoyed it! It was very special to have the session on the roof of his beautiful house surrounded by the lush green of the garden and a great view over the sea. Gerry is clearly a very experienced and professional mindfulness master. He is a natural at making you feel comfortable and relaxed right from the start. By telling personal experiences and introducing every exercise with inspiring poems Gerry creates an atmosphere in which you easily share your own experiences. The insights from the session turned out to be very helpful in our daily lives. Thanks Gerry!

  I have sat with Gerry many times over the years; his presence and stillness have deepened such that they are palpable in the questions he asks, the gentle guidance he gives and the nature of the meditations I experience in his presence. I recently had the opportunity to sit with him a few times over a three week period.  At the time, I was struggling with the idea that I needed to ‘go somewhere’ during my meditations.  Gerry’s questioning was both probing and compassionate such that my mind was seriously challenged while the truth that there is nowhere to go became apparent.  It is hard to describe how just a few words from him, combined with his depth of presence, set up the meditations such that the truth of my being shone through. I can highly recommend Gerry as a both a delightful man to spend time with and as a meditation and spiritual guide.

  Because I wanted to get my mediation practice back on track, I booked a meditation session with Gerry. I received helpful input not only during this time. I liked his calm, attentive, and empathetic manner. He lives what he shares - it's authentic. I benefited greatly and would book with him again next time. His prices are fair, which in Switzerland would be considered a "bargain."

  I did a Mindful stress release course with Mindwise and have leant so much about the tension our bodies carry and how we respond to those around us when we are feeling stressed. The course sets you up to practice mindfulness through your day to day in an 8 week breakdown with 3 simple tasks to reflect on which really brings some perspective and heightens awareness. I had a big breakthrough when I came to the realization that a lot of stress is caused by how we perceive and think about things and how our minds can run away with us. I have incorporated useful practises to come to my senses, and to a self realization how to rewire my thinking and to pause and to treat stressful situations in a calm and nurturing way. This program inspired me to look at my day to day living and do away with what no longer serves me and depletes me and replacing it with things that make me feel good and nourishes me to feel lighter, and happier. I recommend this to anyone as my mood shifted, and has a direct positive impact on myself on others around me.

  Tijdens mijn reis heb ik een onvergetelijke zonsopgangsmeditatie met Gerry mogen ervaren, op het dak van zijn huis met uitzicht op zee. Zijn flexibiliteit, zorgvuldige voorbereiding met gedichten en verhalen, en de serene sfeer maakten het niet alleen een bijzondere aanvulling op mijn reis, maar ook een waardevolle verdieping van mijn eigen meditatie – een ervaring die mij blijvend inspireert.

  Whilst on holiday in Mozambique, I took the opportunity to have a session with Gerry, on his beautiful rooftop in Vilankulos, together with my friend Lisa. It was very enlightening and calming, and I enjoyed using these principles during the rest of my holiday - and will continue to do so once back home. Thank you, Gerry!

  Really great experience with Gerry. Gerry explained mindfulness before leading a mindfulness meditation. All in his garden overlooking the beach.
