Have you ever wondered where creativity comes from and how to tap into your own artistic potential? Join us for a two-day retreat led by experienced facilitators Colin, Louis, and Didi, held at the breathtaking Babirwa Golf and Bush Lodge, just a short drive from Johannesburg. Nestled in the untouched beauty of indigenous bushveld and rolling hills, this private escape offers a serene setting where the only sounds you’ll hear are the harmonious melodies of abundant birds.
During this retreat, we’ll dive deep into the realm of creativity and mindfulness, unraveling the secrets of artistic inspiration. Whether you consider yourself a “creative” person or not, we firmly believe that every individual possesses innate creativity waiting to be unleashed. Through a fusion of mindfulness practices and creative workshops, we’ll guide you on a path of self-discovery, igniting your artistic spirit.
Our program begins with an introduction to mindfulness teachings and techniques, bringing mindfulness into our daily lives and drawing inspiration from Mother Nature herself. Engage in daily meditation sessions, mindfulness yoga, breathwork exercises, and mindful walks or hikes, allowing you to connect with your inner self and explore the depths of your being. Journaling will also be encouraged to capture your personal insights and reflections along the way.
In addition to mindfulness practices, we have crafted a unique creative workshop that takes place in nature, harnessing the wisdom of Mother Nature herself. Using a centuries-old formula and the Fibonacci sequence, we will show you how to apply these principles in floral design, creating aesthetically pleasing and harmonious compositions. No prior experience is necessary, as we will guide you through the design principles and provide all the materials needed to create your own stunning floral masterpiece to take home.
This retreat is open to individuals of all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners. Whether you’re just starting your mindfulness and creative journey or seeking to deepen your existing practice, this retreat offers a space for growth, exploration, and connection with like-minded individuals.

I was referred by my employer because at that time I was in a negative overwhelming space. It felt like the 20 years of building my career was all coming down on me. Day 1 of my consultation was very emotional as I sat there and cried uncontrollably. I felt Didi’s warmth and gentleness whilst she was sat across me. Her energy evoked emotions that I’ve been carrying for years, that I needed to face and let go. For the first time in my life, I felt safe to be vulnerable.
I came to Ground Zero Wellness seeking for coaching support on work related matters. However, her multiple powerful techniques guided me back into a spiritual and positive mindset. Follow-up sessions unpacked other areas of my life that are interlinked to how I respond to issues at work and in life. Among other things, the coaching has enabled me to put myself first and take the responsibility of starring my dream destination. I am seeing remarkable progress in leading myself from where I was to where I want to be. I am looking forward to discovering more about AMAZING self. Thank you Didi for sharing your gift with me.

I was introduced to Didi at the peak of trauma, anxiety, and hopelessness. Didi’s approach to therapy is one of so much gentility and grace. She loves to begin our sessions with grounding, which helps tremendously with getting into the session in a relaxed state. The teachings she offers are personally tailored to make one feel honoured and seen. I’m still on the journey of healing with her guidance. Each time I have a session with her, there’s an ease, a new perspective and a different way of thinking in my healing journey.
Didi is not only dedicated to her profession, but she’s also committed to being part of my journey which I feel with how genuine she is with me. I would not be where I am on my journey without her guidance. I appreciate the energy she brings into our sessions – it is always positive, encouraging and calming. I am grateful to have Didi’s wisdom to coach me through my healing and overall wellness.
