We’ll be holding our first retreat at Kangolo Farm in the foothills of Mount Kenya, a fragile earth space. The Kangolo Lugga is a fascinating water course rising on the edges of the Lolamarick Conservation area and collecting runoff from the steep hills of Chumvi and the undulations of Ethi, in Laikipia.

Just before it tumbles into Borana Conservancy are some three hundred, enthusiastically protected, regenerative forested acres of the lugga valley - our home as we gather together.

At the dusty pink Kangolo homestead are charming tree houses on stilts, a sweet quirky cottage and the main house…utterly eco friendly and home-built with nature’s needs and desires at the heart of design.

As we gather together in temporary solitude, there is time and space for you to participate in extraordinary opportunities to truly engage in the beautiful natural world that surrounds us, and that we ultimately are part of. Try rising at 5am to the dazzling bird chorus.

Tread softly…enjoy being.

“Elephant, lion, hyena, birds....

vast, vast skies....

a quietude

walking

Ngai upon the mountain 

a far desert north...beckoning 

and peoples of our ancient ways

this gentle peace....

velvet moons 

crisp cold, or stunning suns 

Another Africa 

come write your life in air 

so very welcome

Laikipia

the way we are”
