Why not take a mindful holiday with is here in Vilanculos? We just held our first solo retreat with Debs from England who stayed in our guest room, had delicious local food prepared by us and local chefs and saw the best that our coastal paradise has to offer, including a trip to the beautiful Bazaruto Archipelago. It's a holiday with meditation. Or meditation practice combined with a holiday - whatever way you want to look at it. "Ocean Mind, Ocean Life". Take a journey into your mind while enjoying the azure blue Indian Ocean just outside your door.

We're coming up to our fifth year next year here in Mozambique. How time flies. But how has living in Africa for this length of time helped me as a mindfulness meditation teacher? Have there been any learnings? How have they helped me on my journey in life?

Our first solo retreat/ mindful holiday 'Ocean Mind Ocean Life' at our house in Vilanculos was wonderful.

A lovely guest who truly enjoyed Mozambique, our tropical garden with a view on the Bazaruto Archipelago and learned a lot about how our minds work and how we cannot stop the waves but can learn how to surf.

And honestly - just a 1.5. hour flight away from the big city of Johannesburg - what is there not to like about an unspoiled coastline, turquoise blue water, the warm embrace of the Indian Ocean, peace, tranquility and the idyllic Bazaruto Archipelago?
The warm smiles of the friendly and happy Mozambicans?!

Great news! Gerry is back teaching children mindfulness at the local school Southern Cross Academy here in Vilanculos!
He's so happy to be back teaching 7-11 year olds important life skills about how our minds and brains work.

The kids are enthusiastic and Gerry too!

Sadly also in Mozambique and in Vilanculos in particular, su***de - especially among teenagers and young males, is a problem. We don't know exactly why and the ins and outs of it as we have not been involved yet in any work regarding this issue. It is good to see though more attention is now been given to this subject and awareness is being raised for mental health issues.

Mindfulness meditation can help with depression, anxiety and negative thoughts.
It is still quite unknown in Mozambique but it's rewarding and positive to see the society slowly opening up to mental issues.

Please get in touch with us if you have questions or want to know more.

Een ode aan de traagheid.
Wat een prachtige aflevering met zanger en liedjesschrijver Stef Bos zag ik gisteren, al een oudere aflevering maar ik had deze nog niet gezien.
"De traagheid is een goed serum tegen de ziekte van deze tijd waarin alles snel snel snel moet".

Stef Bos, die al jaren deels in Zuid-Afrika woont, kan als geen ander de dingen, Afrika en de puurheid van de mensen hier prachtig beschrijven en vertalen.

Voor mij persoonlijk weerspiegelt dit gesprek mijn lange passie voor Afrika en de mensen hier. Maar ook mijn wens voor traagheid, het stilstaan met aandacht, het even terug schakelen naar een lagere versnelling, het met aandacht reizen met rust en verdieping, je laten inspireren door Afrika en andere culturen. Dit is wat ik beoog met Unique Mozambique, zowel in de reizen die ik aanbied, als meer specifiek in de retreats met MindWise Mozambique die Gerry zelf ontwikkelt en vorm geeft, volledig op maat, uniek en verdiepend.

Geen volgepropte programma's maar ook veel rustdagen tussenin, passend binnen het tijdsbestek en in overleg natuurlijk. Natuurlijk wil je graag dingen zien en doen als je helemaal naar Mozambique reist, maar van plek naar plek sjezen met constant vermaak, is niet mijn en ons ding. Mozambique is nog zo authentiek en bijzonder dat alleen al alle indrukken opdoen, al heel indrukwekkend en intensief kan zijn.

Een inspirerend gesprek! Kijktip!

Wil je ook met ons op reis of retreat? Neem contact met ons op.
Welkom in Afrika.

It is so lovely to see people have returned to Mozambique and the hotels here in are full! This morning we had a full class at Aerial Yoga and summer is slowly arriving, though it's still pleasant and cool.

Vilanculos is a relaxing, calm, tranquil and peaceful place. However, soon you might be heading back home to a busier environment and all the strains that modern life can bring. How can you take this peaceful, calm feeling back to your busy life?

Why not learn more about mindfulness while visiting Vilanculos?

Join Gerry for an individual introduction session or book a sunrise meditation in the Red Dunes or on 'death men's island' - an idyllic sandbank in the Indian Ocean. You might never meditate in a more special place!
