If you are experiencing overwhelm, fatigue and helplessness in your daily life and / or in coping with constant worldwide negative news, you might wonder how to stay grounded, how to stay hopeful and find a sense of ease in your own life. This retreat in the heart of Namibia’s majestic Bwabwata National Park, offers space and tools to find a haven of peace within yourself, and techniques you need to recover and restore your inner balance.
Guided by Hella, you’ll explore mindfulness, the simple yet powerful science-backed practice of being fully present, as a powerful way to cope with the ever-growing challenge of modern society. Through group sessions, gentle yoga, and guided meditations, held in the serene wilderness that surrounds Nambwa Tented Lodge, you’ll learn practical techniques to bring your mind, body and soul back into balance, to find a source of calm and ease within yourself, and reconnect with your natural being.
Between sessions, you’ll have time to rest deeply, enjoy long siestas, reflect, and soak in the sights and sounds of the bush. Every skill you learn here can be woven into your daily routine when you’re back home, so the balance you find stays with you well beyond the retreat, supporting your energy, focus, and overall wellbeing.

Namibian born and MBSR*-trained in Germany, Hella started her own “coming-to-life” journey at Nambwa Tented Lodge during a healing retreat in 2021, after her repeated cancer diagnosis.
Understanding a personal crisis as an opportunity, Hella turned her life around with great courage and started her exploration into the depths of mindfulness and stress reduction. She is passionate about the interconnectedness between body, mind and soul.
Hella’s close connection to nature in combination with her enthusiasm for the art of mindfulness will inspire those who want to bring some ease into their hectic daily lives; who want to reconnect, find clarity and inner peace. She is an inspiration to those who have lost faith and confidence in their own lives for a moment, or who simply want to learn easy-to-integrate techniques of coping with the stressors of our modern society.
Her methods are aligned with the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program as developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn and include meditation, easy yoga movements, mindful walks, and other techniques to reconnect with your own body.

Hella’s qualifications include:
No experience is necessary. All exercises will be very simple and easy. The yoga moves will support the art of mindfulness rather than the exercise aspect.
Any walks are easy and no particular level of fitness is required.
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 in which you can sit in meditation for up to 45 minutes and allow for easy body movements.
No, not at all. While MBSR has its roots in Buddhist teachings, the programme itself is secular.
