Women’s Retreat at Cranes Nest in Mpumulanga

Feedback from some of the women who attended the retreats during August and September 2010

Theme: ‘Who were you born to be?’

Lerika Erasmus: Please arrange a follow up week end to ensure we all stick to our firm resolutions and the continuous applications thereof! The vision board was extremely effective, and something I’ve always wanted to do. Thank you, Arien, you are a very engaging, calm person, and this is very contagious! The accommodation and view were stunning! It was wonderful to closely experience nature, especially in the outside shower!

Valerie Kerr: It was an awesome experience and opportunity for personal growth! I had such insight into your capabilities and enlightenment. It was an honour and a joy to have been part of the week-end process.

Amelia Joubert: Thank you for a very valuable and enjoyable course, as well as a comfortable and good vibe venue! I really enjoyed myself, “relaxed” my left brain and activated my right brain again. I was so inspired that I finished a half-finished painting on my return home. (I was “blocked” and could not paint for a whole year). Arien, your soft-spoken authenticity and insights are inspiring. Thank you so much! Keep up the excellent work! I wish you success and lots of blessings with your courses!

Agnes Kambira: This was so enriching, especially to know how we create our own problems, giving our power away to others, and that we are responsible to change our thinking and behaviour! It was really good to connect with ourselves, knowing that we as women need to be gentle, kind and caring with ourselves, giving ourselves time and space to become who you were born to be!

Nomazulu Ndlovu-Dombo: A key realisation for me, was that when women get together, we are all the same, we connect with each other on a very deep level! There are no different races, cultures, religions – we are truly One! Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to learn and grow together as women on the same life journey.
