The hospitality is world class, the food is exceptional and the ocean is right at your door. But what happens here goes far deeper.
The facilitators guiding this experience are two men who built extraordinary lives by every external measure, then had the courage to walk away from all of it to answer the question no amount of success had answered.
Brett Shuttleworth’s teachings reconnect you with your true essence. Joe van Niekerk’s embodiment practices carry it into the nervous system, into the breath and into the body — where real change takes root.
This is not a retreat where you tune out and let it wash over you. You will tune deeply into your soul, passion and purpose.
You will not leave as someone new. You will leave as who you have always been. Fully awakened.

Every part of this experience is intentional: the ocean, the breath, the body, the circle and the space to hear what your life has been trying to tell you.
Fully awakened.





Located on the tropical, palm-fringed shore of the Indian Ocean, Salt Rock Hotel’s prime beachfront position ensures every suite enjoys spectacular sea views.
In the early morning or evening, you may spot dolphins from your room. At night, the sound of the surf will sing you to sleep.
There is something about the ocean: the rhythm of waves breaking and retreating mirrors the rhythm of your breathing. Part of your transformation will be powered by this place.





Walk directly onto golden sand at the tidal pool, with views of marine life below.





Doze or do some serious dolphin spotting. You might even spy whales in season.





Palm-fringed shores and skies that turn gold at the end of each day. This is the backdrop to your three days of transformation.





Full-board dining to nourish body and soul across your three-day stay.
From high-performance sport and global success as South Africa’s first male supermodel and a Hollywood actor, Brett’s journey has been one of deep inner inquiry and lived transformation.
At the height of external success, he felt empty. That search took him to India, Bali and Rishikesh, where he began the work that would become the 7 Sacred Miracles methodology.
Recognised as one of the world’s leading consciousness teachers, Brett has guided more than 200,000 people worldwide through profound personal awakening. His work bridges performance and presence, leadership and compassion, truth and love.










A former Springbok rugby captain with 52 caps and a European championship-winning career, Joe knows both the heights of performance and the difficult work of rebuilding from within.
After losing his identity when his career ended, he faced addiction, autoimmune disease and a silence he did not know how to fill. He rebuilt himself through breathwork, somatic healing, plant medicine and years of genuine inner work.
Joe is a certified breathwork and somatic movement facilitator. On retreat, he leads conscious connected breathwork, movement practices and guided awareness work that carries insight from the mind into the body.
A former New York attorney turned consciousness coach, Rupali has journeyed alongside Brett through more than 50 retreats, holding each experience with clarity, care and heart.
Having lived in nine countries and travelled extensively, she brings a global perspective and deep human sensitivity to the retreat experience.
Rupali supports participants throughout the journey while coordinating the details that make the retreat feel effortless: logistics, travel guidance and the thoughtful care that lets you focus fully on your experience.
