Emoyeni Retreat Centre is situated on the northern slopes of the Magaliesberg mountains (in the North West province of South Africa), about 100 km northwest of Johannesburg. The natural beauty of the land and simplicity of the facilities provide an environment that is conducive to meditation and contemplation.
Based on Buddhist principles, it functions under the auspices of the Emoyeni Trust which is a registered nonprofit organisation. The Retreat Centre welcomes everybody, Buddhist and non-Buddhist alike, who has a sincere interest in cultivating wisdom and compassion as a way of life.
Conducted retreats are offered regularly, details of which can be found on the retreats page. Individual or self-retreats can be done anytime, for any duration according to personal needs. The Centre can accommodate 12 guests, therefore booking well in advance is advisable. Three lacto-vegetarian meals are provided dayly, and linen is also supplied. Please see the retreats page for the cost of the various retreats.
Emoyeni is a Zulu name meaning "Place of the Spirit". Our aim is to provide an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity, within an environment of natural beauty, which is conducive to the practice of meditation, a safe space where the weary can find a moment of rest and peace, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
