Groups of executives looking to change the way they lead and whole teams eager to pull together in more rewarding ways are equally welcome. Companies also have the option to stage the retreat on their premises or in the raw beauty of Bwabwata National Park so that the wilderness itself becomes both mirror and mentor.
The where and the who are less important than understanding that this experience is not about quick fixes or surface-level motivation. It is a deep reset designed to dissolve limiting beliefs, recondition the ego and reconnect people to their authentic power.
When individuals embrace Brett’s 7 Sacred Miracles they’re equipped with tools for lasting transformation in their professional and personal lives. They learn to leave their comfort zones, shift stagnant situations into renewed action and come together as a team around a vision. In short they become catalysts for positive impact in their units and companies.

Brett Shuttleworth’s journey is a story of extraordinary transformation. He transitioned away from careers as an international rugby player, South Africa’s first male supermodel and Hollywood actor to become one of the world’s leading consciousness trainers and retreat facilitators.
With over 25 years of experience guiding professional sports teams, Fortune 500 companies and government leaders, Brett has trained more than 27,000 individuals worldwide. As the founder of Smiling Soul Retreats, he has hosted 50+ international retreats across South Africa, India, Bali, and Croatia. He is also the creator of HoJo Consciousness Training, a unique blend of ancient warrior practices and modern performance psychology.
Brett’s approach fuses corporate leadership transformation and spiritual development to help individuals and teams dissolve limiting beliefs, cultivate presence and lead with integrity. His mission is simple yet profound: to guide people back to their authentic selves and create a ripple effect of love across organisations and the world.
“At the pinnacle of external success, I discovered that true fulfillment lies within. My purpose is to help others step into their extraordinary potential, where consciousness meets performance, and love becomes the ultimate success.” – Brett Shuttleworth
Joe van Niekerk’s expertise bridges the worlds of elite performance and holistic healing. As a Springbok rugby legend with 50 international caps and a Toulon Hall of Fame career in European rugby, Joe knows what it takes to perform under intense pressure, lead elite teams and cultivate resilience.
After retiring from professional sport, Joe embarked on a deep personal transformation, overcoming trauma, addiction and illness to become one of the most sought-after somatic healing and conscious breathwork facilitators. He has guided thousands through transformational practices that combine corporate leadership development with nervous system regulation, trauma release and conscious connected breathwork.
Through his blend of ancient wisdom and modern psychology, he aims to show that true strength comes from vulnerability and that sustainable success lies in reconnecting to your wholeness.
“Every breakdown became a breakthrough. From the rugby field to the healing space, I’ve learned that performance without alignment leads to collapse but when we connect body, mind, and spirit, extraordinary results follow.” – Joe van Niekerk
