Mother Nature and
all life forms are
respected and valued,
and this infuses
our space with positive
vibrations and a
sense of wholeness.
We strive for well-being
at all levels, in
our inner environment
and in our outer
environment. We
believe the physical
characteristics
of the retreat and
the environmental
balance play an
important role in
the process of healing.
The retreat generates
around 70% of electricity
independently –
using a wind mill
and solar panels.
Most of the water
is rainwater that
is harvested from
the roofs and stored
in an 84,000 litre
underground tank.
Every brick that
is in the buildings
was hand made using
soil from the land,
and sun dried –
not fired in a brick
kiln. All the waste
on the retreat is
processed and reused
appropriately. Most
of the vegetables
in the kitchen are
from the 12 acre
organic farm that
the retreat is on.
All the soaps and
shampoos are natural,
organic and hand
made exclusively
for your use. Another
unique feature is
the regions first
100% natural swimming
pool, where aquatic
plants not chemicals,
keep the water clean.
We also support
the local economy
by making sure a
large number of
our employees are
from the surrounding
villages. For all
of these pioneering
efforts, Our Native
Village was received
several awards
