Six days in the wild. Come home to yourself.
Peace Within A Retreat in the Wild
September 11–17, 2026 | Kruger National Park
Something's stirring inside you.
Maybe it's exhaustion. Maybe it's a longing. Maybe it's the quiet sense that something needs to shift.
This is your invitation to pause. To listen. To remember yourself.
Peace Within is a six-day retreat for people at a significant threshold: personally, professionally, or both. Not to fix anything. To come home to yourself.
The Inner Journey
During our six days together, you'll move through three inner shifts:
Awareness — becoming conscious of what hurts, what no longer fits, or what longs to emerge.
Acceptance — meeting yourself with compassion, and recognising that your coping once kept you safe.
Authorship — choosing how to move forward from a place of clarity and ownership.
This isn't about fixing anything. It's about coming home to yourself and stepping forward from there.
You will walk away with
Clarity. A clearer sense of what you actually want. Steadiness that doesn't depend on everything going right. The courage to make the choices you've been avoiding. Compassion for yourself that doesn't feel like excusing yourself. Deep connections with those who join.
What to Expect
Six days in the wild at Shimuwini Bushcamp inside Kruger National Park. No signal. No performance. Just you, the bush, and a small circle of fellow travellers doing honest inner work.
Each day follows a rhythm of facilitated inner work using the Virginia Satir Growth Model, small-group reflection, and spacious time in nature - game drives, bush walks, river views, and conversations around the fire. The final days are intentionally light, giving you time to integrate what's emerged rather than accumulate more.
Two weeks after you leave, we gather online to connect, ask questions, and support the integration that continues long after the retreat ends.
This retreat is for you if:
You're navigating a personal or professional crossroads.
You've lost your sense of flow or spark and want it back.
You're not broken, but something's misaligned.
You want to grow, not grind. Change, not hustle.
You're ready to take authorship of your next chapter.
You are willing to meet yourself honestly.

Your facilitators
Peace Within is facilitated by Joanne Perold
I make it ok to be you.
That's not a small thing. Most professional spaces ask you to be a managed version of yourself. Competent, composed, certain. I create spaces where you can show up exactly as you are. Uncertain and stretching, or confident and ready to go deeper. Both are welcome here.
What twenty years of working with teams and organisations gave me, alongside the knowledge, is the ability to hold space. With presence. With quiet. With safety. People tell me that even when the work is hard, even when it's vulnerable or stretchy or uncomfortable, it feels ok. That's my magic. I don't put myself above people. I stand alongside them.
I’m Interested
You don't need a plan. Just a pause. Come with your questions, your ache, your longing, and leave with a quiet confidence in what's next.
