6-Day Microdosing & Nature Retreat in Cederberg, South Africa
Step into six days in the Cederberg: mornings of clear air, nights under vast skies, and a journey that begins in the body and the breath. This isn’t just time away from daily life. It’s six days of guided microdosing of medicinal mushrooms, mindfulness, nature immersion, and somatic practices that let you explore yourself and the world in ways thinking alone never does. These practices are being studied for their impact on stress, creativity, and connection. At Bliss & Stars, we treat self-awareness as practice, not as a concept, but as something that shapes a meaningful and grounded life.
Worn down by the pings, pressure, and pace? Imagine six days where the only thing on the agenda is turning attention back to what truly matters: your body, the land, and the connections around you. Here, amidst the tranquility of nature, you’ll have the space to introspect and explore your life’s unique trajectory.
You may arrive feeling drained, restless, or stuck, yet also sensing there’s more in you waiting to unfold. The retreat is shaped to help you notice more clearly, find steadier energy, and reconnect with others and the world around you. It’s not about chasing joy or peace. It’s about paying attention to what’s already here and letting that be enough.
Come ready to drop the noise and meet yourself differently. Six days that may not change everything, but can shift the way you see what’s already here through small, evidence-backed adjustments in awareness that add up over time.
