The natural romance of the wild African bush might alone be enough to inspire the words to pour onto the page. But we’ll also explore our inner world through yoga, meditation and breathwork to tap into and work with emotions that can transform your creative writing.
In the beauty of the untouched wilderness at African Monarch Lodges, let your heart open, the words flow, and your characters breathe through you.
Ernest Hemingway
Not Included: Your flights to and from Namibia, and transfers to Nambwa from nearby airports
A writer by passion and profession, Annemarie has more than two decades’ experience working as a writer and editor in London, Cape Town and Tokyo. She’s worked as a writer and editor for magazines including Men’s Health, Marie Claire, Rolling Stone and Time Out Tokyo, and as a copywriter and strategist for brands globally. Her first novel was published in 2018, and her second is in its final editing stage.
Annemarie is also a kundalini yoga instructor, having fallen in love with this style of yoga during a particularly challenging period in her life. She credits the practice, which combines movement, breathwork, meditation and mindfulness, with helping her shift into an entirely new way of being.
Understanding that life’s chaos can dim our creative flow, she brings her two passions – writing and yoga – together, in a way that both balances and ignites our emotions, inspiration and energy.
There is no need to bring a yoga mat or yoga cushions. These will be provided by the lodge. Please bring comfortable and light clothes that allow for easy body movements.
No, not at all. Although this form of yoga has roots in Hinduism, our practice is secular and aimed at combining movement, breathwork, and meditation to balance body and mind. Also note that there will be a bigger focus on writing than yoga during this retreat; the yoga is a tool to get our creative juices flowing.
The retreat will be offered in English.
