What: SOULFUL RHYTHMS – a Balu Nivison and Claudia Batschari Collaboration
Where: McGregor (2 hours from Cape Town)
When: Wednesday 19th – Sunday 23rd March 2025 (Equinox)
“It only takes a reminder to breathe,
a moment to be still, and just like that,
something in me settles, softens…”
*Danna Faulds
Balu Nivison and Claudia Batschari will combine Dance and Ayurveda (Science of Life) to create a space of joy, movement and wellness. Through dance and letting our bodies speak, we access parts of ourselves which we can’t access with our intellect.
Balu will do daily yoga and dance sessions through which we get into deep process work. Claudia will incorporate daily informative and practical Ayurveda Routines and Rituals. We will do Abhyanga massage together, an Ayurvedic cooking session will be offered, and more..
Ayurveda is all about living an embodied and intuitive life and the modality of dance is therefor so complimenting. To understand Ayurveda we need to drop our intellectual mind, in order to feel- and sense into- and remember our innate needs.

My Ayurvedic retreats are about receiving this ancient elemental wisdom, connecting with nature, holding each other in love and acceptance, and remembering what we already know – and have always known.
We will flow together in a beautiful rhythm of:
The Space is our old farmhouse De Vrede in the Klein Karoo village of McGregor. There are 3 different room types with different prices. Additionally, there is a more budget-friendly option of camping in the extensive gardens – or a more private option of staying in one of the many self-catering places close by.
