BLISS & STARS RETREAT

Science Meets Spirituality

A SANCTUARY FOR PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION

Bliss & Stars isn’t just a retreat; it’s a rebirth. Set in the remote, raw, untamed beauty of the Cederberg, this sanctuary strips away the noise and chaos of modern life. Founded by Daria and Heine Rasmussen, who left the corporate grind to explore the meaning of life well-lived, Bliss & Stars blends the ancient wisdom of mindfulness with the awe of the cosmos, neuropsychology with astrophysics. It is a space where inner and outer space meet. Here, you find more than tranquility — you rediscover what truly matters to you with stars and nature as your guides, with gourmet food to nourish your body and senses, and practices to expand your body, mind and heart.

Ready for a transformation? Your journey starts here.

Bliss And Stars Retreat Cederberg South Africa

Bliss & STARS | The Valley infused with meaning and stillness

Nestled in nature with no distractions and full privacy, Bliss & Stars spans 1,350 ha in a valley at the banks of the Doring River in the breathtaking Cederberg Mountains, South Africa.

The off-the-grid space provides a wonderful setting to calm the mind, rejuvenate the body, and reconnect with nature and yourself during the 4-, 5- and 6-day long programs. And never more than 10 guests.

Bliss & Stars is not your usual retreat. It’s a space where guests are treated as friends. It’s a space to feel at home. It’s a space to transcend.

NOURISH YOUR BODY, MIND

People come to Bliss & Stars to experience the ease of wellbeing. To slow down and transform for life. To reconnect with oneself and loved ones. To gain clarity and connect with nature and community. To rest and thrive.

Here you’ll find curated, intimate retreat experiences that will guide you to implement changes that lead to joy, energy, and peace in everyday life.

At Bliss & Stars: wellbeing transcends from something you dream into something you experience.
