My personal journey with health – Barbora.

For more than four decades as a musician, mother, wife and exercise enthusiast in South Africa and central Europe, I have experienced massive challenges with the health of my family and myself.

Pharmaceutically induced chronic conditions, debilitating spinal injuries, the near-fatal illnesses of my children, spectacular gynaecological mismanagement and more, have forced me to invest years in the study and research of prevention and treatment with natural remedies, the correct supplements and dosages, all with positive results and much long-term success. Most of these health issues were caused by medical mismanagement, pharmaceuticals, and incorrect treatment protocols. I hear women all the time talking about issues of health, many of them suffering menopausal issues, treated with indifference and repeated unsuccessful protocols by the medical industry and dangerous drug prescriptions.

There are successful and safe alternatives, and with my fellow specialist hosts I am eager to share them and hear other women who may also shine some wisdom.

If you have an interest in a safe and more natural approach to managing your body, join us for three days of wellness, enlightenment and good company in the beautiful Elands River Valley.

About Saralé Bock:

With 24+ years spent in service, hospitality, and wellbeing practices, I have learnt the path of gentle care, presence, and deep listening for the purpose of reconnecting to self and others. My meditation practice has grown naturally alongside life, shaping the way I hold space and respond.

My journey has unfolded into utilising sound in my healing sessions which, coupled with touch and vibration, invites blocked energy to soften and move, guiding the body back to a state of ease and natural flow.

My training is in Hatha Yoga, and more recently Yin Yoga, which I’m looking forward to sharing under the trees at the riverside.

Nature is my greatest teacher and chosen medicine. Often, I’ll be listening to the wind moving through the trees, allowing imagination to visualise the experience of how sound travels through our etheric bodies, this reminds me that everything is vibration. From this place, I believe that healing is a simple remembering — a return to harmony, resonance, and the body’s innate wisdom.

A huge thank you to our participating brands for your support and sponsorship of gifts for participants: Chinaherb, Ashkan, Ocean Therapy, Escentia.
