Grounded Retreat

Become Grounded

Escape to Yzerfontein's stunning coastline for a 4-day, 3-night retreat that promises relaxation, wellness, and foodie magic. Nestled by the sea, the Grounded Retreat offers an all-inclusive experience that brings together rejuvenating activities, gourmet dining, and mindful practices for a refreshing getaway.

The Grounded Retreat is thoughtfully designed to help you relax and recharge. Each day features a blend of wellness practices and downtime, including somatic mindfulness sessions and Pilates to support your body and mind. Enjoy a guided foraging walk to discover local edible plants, and learn about the benefits of herbs in a hands-on herbalism class. Cooking lessons with Chef Cobus will bring out your inner chef, focusing on fresh, seasonal ingredients, while a gin tasting with Nano Batches adds a touch of indulgence. With balanced meals, snacks, and refreshments provided throughout the retreat, plus a ‘Goodie for a Foodie’ bag to take home, you'll leave feeling nourished and restored.

A note from

Chef Cobus Bekker

Life happens, and before we know, we end up anchored in our respective lifestyles. More often than not, we naturally gravitate towards choices that are both convenient and quick, but not necessarily the top of the pick.

True, we do what we have to do for us to stay afloat, but the question remains. Do our respective lifestyles speak into or support a quality lifestyle, and most importantly, is it enough to sustain us daily?

If not, we then need to make some adjustments...

Where do we begin?

It is often said that when we are met by an overwhelming situation, task, or hurdle, we should simply start somewhere. This is echoed by the familiar " joke" that begs the question.  "How on earth do you eat an entire elephant?

The answer? "Bite by bite."

This is our game, Grounded's mission and goal. Our purpose is precise in nature and aimed to help you guide you and hopefully get you on track. As your Chef, I aim to break some redundant stereotypes and get you thinking and finally have you explore the bounty that is to be unlocked in food. I am here to simply aid you in cracking the proverbial shell, and see you FastTrack yourself on a new way, a better way, a journey to a healthier life.

“The life YOU want to live.”

I can't wait to receive you.

Chef Cobus.
