Hi there,

Colleen and Michael here, from high up in the Kammanassie mountains, 38Km from Sedgefield (as the crow flies).

Living a sustainable lifestyle incorporating fresh air, spring mountain water, permaculture designed landscape (organic of course) has been our dream come true.

We have decades of valuable knowledge gleaned from the experience of living a healthy lifestyle, alternative therapies that we have studied, food security and in-depth knowledge of healthy lifestyle equipment via nearly 30 years of running the well known Company, Healthmakers.

Colleen started the practice of a healthy lifestyle at the tender age of 3 and was exposed to classical homeopathy, radionics, accupuncuture, chiropractic manipulation, and the healing value of a defined diet.

Michael, with his background of engineering and agricultural equipment is often seen on his JCB TLB reshaping the land to develop a sustainable landscape. He also has his own journey of what seemed like a lifetime of hayfever, which he cured when Colleen encouraged him to give up wheat and dairy, the odd plant based pizza with wheat flour being tolerated.

Our days are filled with the ongoing maintenance and development of our healthy body, mind and spirit. As a result, we have researched and practice numerous modalities that we love to share with open minded folk that are looking for health and happiness through mental and physical and dietary lifestyle changes.

We do of course follow a wholefood plant-based diet and incorporate intermittent fasting on a daily basis. Colleen has a passion for creating delicious vegan food and is found not only growing the vegetables,  but experimenting with fermentation, tofu, vegan cheeses, sourdough rye bread and just so much more.
With such a lot to share, you had best book to grow and learn with us.

The events at Renewal Retreat will leave you looking forward to the next event as there is so much variety on offer.
