The Aim
To create a space where dreams are born, reignited, and nurtured.
The Recipe
For those tethered to a screen, overworked, or simply craving connection; for the digital nomads, the sun seekers, and the life-long learners; for those with bubbling ideas and those dissatisfied with their norm, our retreats extend an invite to reconnect with nature and others and provide the space to reflect, collaborate, and adopt new aspirations—away from the screen and into the real world.
Enjoy a variety of fun, creative activities designed to re-energize you, spark your imagination, and challenge you to move beyond limiting beliefs and familiar habits.
Nature ignites a sense of wonder and awe, stirring deep connections in ourselves and with others. Just outside of Cape Town, with charming spaces and the soothing sounds of nature, you’ll relax, recharge, and spark your next big idea.
Unplug, unwind, and give yourself the break you need. Move your body, feast like a foodie, and if you’re into wine—South Africa’s fine wine awaits you.
Swap stories, share laughs, and bond with your fellow dream-chasers. Connect with others, and get back in touch with those big, bold dreams of yours.
Our Story
Katrina and Isabella began their journey as teammates at a global technology social enterprise, where they spent over three years working together to serve the social sector. Their work with hundreds of nonprofits gave them a front-row seat to some of the world’s most pressing challenges—and the power of unique passions, talents, and collaboration to solve them.
During this time, they both realised the need to more regularly step away from the digital space and engage more deeply in person. They found that proximity unlocks compassion — and helps people nurture the intersection of passions and talents. Through their combined experience leading teams, facilitating workshops, and working with nonprofits and social impact businesses, they’re excited to adopt the next challenge of empowering others to realise their dreams.

Meet the Team Behind the Dream
Isabella Hamilton-Russell
I believe true empowerment comes through self-expression—discovering your unique way to shine every day! My most fulfilling moments arise from deep connections with others and bringing colour to their lives. I find inspiration from the vibrant ways people express who they are. Whether through what we wear, the tone of our voices, or even our facial expressions, I enjoy seeing others embrace their creativity.
My perfect evening: a beautiful sunset, great company, engaging conversation, and a glass of wine.
Katrina Seidel
I’m a passionate leader who thrives on building dynamic teams and unlocking untapped potential. A connector at heart, I love bringing people together to create meaningful experiences that drive social impact. A global citizen and everyday adventurer, I embrace life’s spontaneity—whether it’s cooking without a recipe (always with extra spice), climbing mountains, surfing, dancing, or chasing sunrises.
My mornings are grounded in prayer and a cuppa decaf coffee.
