Retreat Testimonials

Life-changing, transformative, and deeply nourishing.
My experience at the Indlovu retreat was absolutely life-changing. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely held in warmth, care, and love by Cal and the entire Indlovu team. Being immersed in nature, seeing elephants, lions, cheetahs (and SO much more!), while connecting with the most wonderful people created a space for deep reflection and personal growth.
I learned so much about myself—who I am, what truly matters to me, and how I want to move forward in life with greater clarity and intention. This retreat wasn’t just a getaway; it was a profound journey into self-discovery and transformation.
If you’re thinking about going—don’t hesitate. Just do it. You will leave feeling renewed, inspired, and deeply grateful for the experience.

Nothing short of magical
I am so grateful for the experience I had at the Indlovu Self-transformation Coaching Adventure. Cal cultivated a week full of joy, connection and wonder. This was my first time to South Africa and Cal was invaluable in helping me plan and prepare for the trip. Once I arrived, my experience was nothing short of magical. I learned about the wildlife, the land and myself.
Everything and everyone I had contact with was a teacher: the animals, the trees and plants, the knowledgeable and fascinating trackers/guides, the beautiful souls who lovingly prepared the meals and a remarkable group of women from around the world who became friends and inspired me.
If you have pull to go to Indlovu, follow it! Cal has created something truly special.

I was completely immersed in joy, wonder and awe
It’s hard to find the words to describe the magic I experienced during the Indlovu Self-Transformation Coaching Adventure. I was completely immersed in joy, wonder and awe during my time in the bush and my soul was cared for and tended by Cal and the whole Indlovu team.
If you are aching for an adventure that will connect you with your whole body and soul, then this is the experience you will want to be brave enough to say YES to!

A truly inspirational, empowering, joyful and life changing week!
Over the course of the week, I felt myself growing and blossoming each day. The group was skilfully led by Cal and explored the journey forwards with warmth, joy and pure delight.
We were a very diverse group, ranging in age from 21 to 70, coming from 4 different nationalities and from different walks of life. We became a wonderful community where we felt loved and safe. The Indlovu team led by Cal saw to our every need.
The game sightings we had were sensational, from walking freely with wild cheetah to spectacular sunsets, sunrises, every day brought something new.
I left Indlovu with so many unique and beautiful new friends, we will be there to support each other through our individual journeys.
I have gone from thinking my life after work would be unfulfilled to a sense of excitement and great curiosity, I feel like I am living in a glass of champagne. I now have a very clear idea of what I want to do and more importantly, how I can get there. It has been a life changing week! Thank you, Cal, and the amazing Indlovu team as well as all my Indlovu friends! You are beautiful, unique people!

Unlike any group I’ve ever travelled with, self-honouring practices have been welcomed and encouraged
As we bump down the orange-red dirt road away from Indlovu, it strikes me that the excitement and unknown I arrived with has been replaced by warmth, connection and a love of this magical country.
This retreat both met and exceeded my expectations. I came with some serious personal work to do. The untroubled space of the bush was exactly what I needed. I felt free to care for myself just the way I needed to, even if that meant taking the morning for a walk, meditation and journaling instead of a game drive with our wonderful group.
Unlike any group I’ve ever travelled with, self-honouring practices have been welcomed and encouraged. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Cal.

I will never be able to thank you enough for the experience you made happen and the awe!!!!!
You are amazing.
I have never experienced such a profound awe for nature before, while at the same time having periods of self-discovery. All in a beautiful and comfortable setting with lovely accommodations and fabulous food. Thank you Cal!

Cal's warm welcome is just the beginning of your journey into a magical place, where you have the chance to look at life in a different way.
Bring your questions and concerns and see what the African bush has to tell you. Let yourself be nourished by a wide variety of food and ideas, soak up the knowledge of your driver/guide, and open yourself to whatever the bush shows you. Every day is different. It might be a mother and baby rhino blocking a path, driving along a 'road less traveled', or embodying the word 'lalaphansi': to lie down.
Cal's retreat offers you a way to access things you didn't know about yourself.
