This retreat is for you if:

Are you an overwhelmed, disconnected, exhausted, or stuck woman who knows deep down you're meant for more and yet you're so caught up in just surviving the basics that there's no room for anything else?

Do you have this deep, gnawing sense that there has to be another way to live, another way to be, but you're too depleted and stuck to figure out what that way even looks like?

If you're reading this thinking,

“Is she in my head?” Yes. I’ve been there. I know this exhaustion, this overwhelm and this stuckness.

I also know that you’re not broken and you’re not weak.

You’re trying to survive using tools that once protected you—but now they’re hurting you.

I created this retreat as a safe place where you get to finally put down all the balls without everything falling apart.

Yes, you’re right!
There is another way to live life….

Imagine your body is a messenger, speaking a language so powerful that it’s been screaming at you through burnout and chronic overwhelm, but you’ve been too busy surviving to listen. What if your fatigue or disconnection isn’t a weakness, but a profound invitation to transformation?

The Rooted Retreat uses my own unique, signature approach that transforms your deepest exhaustion into your greatest source of wisdom and power. This isn’t just another self-help strategy; it’s a complete nervous system and mindset reset that liberates you from the distorted masculine narrative of “push harder, work harder.”

The sad truth is that your current approach to life is killing your spirit. The patriarchal, capitalist model that tells you to keep grinding, to stay small, and to ignore your body’s wisdom is designed to keep you disconnected from your true potential. Your exhaustion is not a personal failure—it’s a collective wake-up call.

Every moment of fatigue or disconnection is actually a gift wrapped in barbed wire—a sacred message about your alignment, your truth, and your untapped potential. Unlike traditional approaches that demand you push through, this retreat will invite you to Reconnect to your body and to the earth. Remember the full essence of you beneath all the doing. Reawaken to life’s natural rhythm and your truth and to Rise Rooted from a deeply connected and nourished place.

You might be thinking, “I’ve tried everything. I can’t afford to stop. What if I can’t get going again?”

But here’s the reality: continuing on your current path could leave you no use to anyone else or yourself.  Strategic, supported rest in a held container isn’t an indulgence or a luxury—it’s the most necessary and powerful action you can take. This isn’t about stopping forever; it’s about resetting your entire nervous system and way of being so you can finally rise rooted, not depleted.

Imagine a world where connected, conscious, and nourished women rise up together—breaking free from the cycles that have kept them small.

The Rooted Retreat is an intimate 4-day, 3-night experience thoughtfully created for capable, high-achieving women who are ready to step out of cycles of burnout, overwhelm and disconnection and into a space of
deep renewal and remembering.

Throughout your stay, you are gently held in a curated experience of embodied healing, nervous system regulation, co-regulation, balancing of masculine and feminine energy, and deep reconnection designed to support your system in returning to a felt sense of safety.

From this place of safety, the body begins to soften. When the nervous system is regulated and supported, there is greater capacity to heal, to integrate new understanding, and to receive tools in a way that is sustainable rather than overwhelming. In this state it becomes easier to hear what is already within you—your inner wisdom,
your clarity, your deeper knowing.

This is not a space of doing more, holding more or becoming more. It is a space of allowing, receiving and resting into a beautifully held environment where safety becomes the ground
from which transformation and truth naturally unfolds.

Your Venue


Discover a deep sense of peace, wholeness and restoration at St Andrew’s Retreat, nestled in The Midlands, in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal.

Set across two acres of tranquil countryside, life moves at a gentler rhythm here. The soundtrack is one of horses softly neighing in the distance, chickens clucking contentedly, and if fortune favours you, the occasional cry of a fish eagle echoing across the valley.

Originally a cherished Anglican church dating back to 1901, St Andrew’s has been lovingly restored and reimagined by its custodians, Paul and Jennifer Hindle, preserving its timeless character and history while creating a space of exceptional beauty, comfort and calm.

Behind its historic charm lies a retreat experience where thoughtful restoration meets contemporary comfort. Beautifully appointed rooms, modern fittings and carefully curated interiors create an atmosphere of quiet luxury and ease. Every detail has been intentionally considered, allowing you to arrive, soften and feel deeply supported.

This retreat is an invitation to treat yourself with the same care, attention and tenderness you so often offer to others. To enjoy the comfort of beautiful spaces, to savour nourishing meals, to linger with a cup of tea, to rest without guilt and to rediscover the
simple pleasure of being looked after.

Framed by rolling green pastures and sweeping views toward the lilac foothills of the Drakensberg, this is a place created for restoration and renewal. Settle into a peaceful nook with a book, wander through fountain-filled gardens, enjoy moments of stillness beneath wide open skies, or simply allow yourself the rare luxury of spaciousness.

Because sometimes healing begins not through doing more, but through giving
yourself permission to receive.

St Andrew’s offers an invitation to step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with a slower, softer rhythm where there is space to rest, reflect and simply be.

Hello there...

I am Kerry Magnus and I can’t wait to be your facilitator, supporter, and to hold space for you on this retreat.

I am a Holistic Psychologist and BodyTalk Practitioner, helping women remember who they are beneath the protective patterns that have kept them surviving, but disconnected. Through a unique body, mind and spirit approach, combining science and the sacred, I guide women back to a place of nervous system regulation, authenticity and wholehearted living, where their greatest potential naturally unfolds.

I also include my training in various trauma modalities as well as somatic focussing.

After years of on/off burnout I was diagnosed with Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome in 2013. I was too tired and overwhelmed to support myself in a holistic way so I searched for answers through supplements, detoxes and diets. While they offered temporary relief, they never addressed the deeper reason I kept returning to exhaustion and disconnection.

Hello there...

I am Kerry Magnus and I can’t wait to be your facilitator, supporter, and to hold space for you on this retreat.

I am a Holistic Psychologist and BodyTalk practitioner and I support women to embrace their greatest potential without burning out, using a unique body, mind and spirit approach that I created through my own journey of transformation.

I also include my training in various trauma modalities as well as somatic focussing and mindfulness.

After years of on/off burnout I was diagnosed with Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome in 2013. I was too tired and overwhelmed to support myself in a holistic way so I looked for relief using supplements, detoxes and diets. These helped somewhat but I continued to experience crashes for 5 years. I was so frustrated as I had such a sense of what I could become and be but I felt overwhelmingly stuck.

I felt like a failure. As mother, wife, therapist, friend and daughter. After five years of trying everything, I had a revelation: my exhaustion wasn’t simply the result of doing too much. It was the result of fiercely holding onto a version of myself that my nervous system had created to feel safe, accepted and enough. The very patterns that had once helped me survive had become the patterns that were quietly exhausting me and keeping me from my fully-alive self.

That realisation changed everything. Healing was no longer about fixing myself or trying harder. It became a process of gently understanding the protective patterns I had mistaken for my personality, regulating the nervous system that had created them, and remembering who I was beneath them.

Because of my experience I realised I wanted to support women to be the powerful, creative, passionate, shining, beautiful beings they truly are rather than them trying, and often failing, to fit the mould of distorted masculine “success” to feel enough and safe.

And since then, I’ve had the privilege of guiding hundreds of women home to themselves.

FAQ

No, transport is not included in the cost and will need to be arranged by you. However, if enough participants are coming from King Shaka Airport, we’ll help coordinate shared lifts or a shuttle option (at your own cost). This approach not only makes travel more affordable but also creates an opportunity for connection before the retreat even begins. So once you’ve signed up let us know if you are open to shared transport and let’s see what we can arrange.

Yes, that’s correct. Experience has shown that women experience deeper, more profound transformations when they gather in a supportive, exclusive environment. 

No. This retreat is for any woman who knows there is more to life than simply getting through each day. Whether you’re feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, disconnected or simply longing to reconnect with yourself, this is an invitation to slow down, remember who you are beneath the demands of everyday life, and return home to a more authentic, grounded and vibrant way of being.

Yes, but to be used with intention!

We’ve intentionally kept this a smaller, more intimate gathering with a maximum of 8 participants. This isn’t just a number – it’s a carefully crafted container for deep, personalized transformation. A smaller group means more individual attention, deeper connections, and a more profound shared experience. You’re not just attending a retreat; you’re joining an exclusive circle of women committed to healing and growth.

We invite you to approach this retreat as a sacred space of healing and transformation. While we understand these are personal choices, we strongly recommend staying “clean” during the retreat to support your deepest healing. We ask that you refrain from bringing any alcohol or substances with you and, If you must smoke, please do so outside and away from others. This isn’t about restriction – it’s about creating the purest, most supportive environment for your personal healing journey.

Your Transformation Awaits...
