About the Venue
Bodhi Kaya (https://www.bodhikhaya.com/) is situated just 16 km from Gaansbaai just off Grootbos road. At the foot of the Witkransberg in the Overberg region, on the Southern tip of Africa, Bodhi Khaya Retreat is in one of the most diverse biospheres in the world – one of only seven floral kingdoms on the planet. Surrounded by indigenous Fynbos and ancient Milkwood forests, it is a special place to reconnect to ancient wisdom and the healing power of nature.
