Eten

At Awaken Sanctuary, we keep nourishment simple, fresh and intentional. Meals focus on seasonal fruits, vegetables, nuts and herbal teas, with vegetarian options designed to complement the retreat experience. Food is approached mindfully, with an emphasis on simplicity and conscious consumption. Any dietary preferences, allergies or specific nutritional needs should be discussed before arrival. Dietary guidance and any fasting practices are discussed individually, taking personal health needs into account. This is not a culinary retreat; nourishment supports the wider experience of rest, reflection and self-awareness. Please confirm any dietary arrangements with Awaken Sanctuary before your stay.

Vuyiswa Kayembe

I am Vuyiswa Kayembe, founder of Awaken Sanctuary for Awareness in South Africa. My work centres on psycho-neurological healing and human transformation, integrating psychological insight, nervous system awareness, African Indigenous Wisdom, spiritual science and nature-based practices. Drawing on my experience in shamanic practice, ecotherapy, sound healing and psycho-spiritual coaching, I design personalised retreat experiences that help people understand themselves, recognise recurring patterns, reconnect with their deeper sense of purpose and reorganise their lives consciously. My approach brings together guided self-inquiry, experiential practices and integration, creating space for meaningful change that extends beyond the retreat itself.
