LOCATION
Just 15 mins drive from Silverlakes in Pretoria East.
We have spent the last 25 years regenerating & nurturing this beautiful land
which provides us with so much.
We invite you to slow down, breathe & feel
all the abundance, peace & wonder our beautiful setting has to give.
We share our home with you!
Immersed
in Nature
By reconnecting with the natural world we find our way home to ourselves.
Our studio is nestled in the centre of our serene, quiet 10 hectare property in the valley of the Bronberg. Surrounded by trees & birdsong. A seasonal stream flows underneath it while Impala & Nyala frequently graze within view. Giving you the perfect opportunity to unwind, reset your mind & reconnect your body.
Nature is defined & driven by rhythms & cycles,
change & growth. Periods of awakening, periods of rest & periods of transitions. At Heartstead we hold this at the centre of all we do.
Nature is inclusive, it's a whole system & every individual part plays a crucial role to keep the balance. No one thing is more important than the other. We follow the same inclusive approach.
