DHARMA | THE RHYTHM OF LIFE

In nature’s precision, nothing is separate or out of place. Every movement belongs to a greater whole. Rta is the foundation of Dharma and means natural order. It is not an idea to understand, but a lived experience to feel. This retreat explores attunement to natural law and the subtle intelligence that governs cycles and flow. The cycles of nature become a direct teacher: the rising and setting of light, the ebb and flow of energy through the day, and the natural rhythm of rest and activity.
 
Across the days of the retreat in the landscapes of Botswana, where vast skies, open plains, and slow-moving rivers shape perception, participants begin to notice how everything moves in cycles: breath, attention, emotion, energy, rest, and renewal.​ Encounters with wild animals deepen this understanding, offering living expressions of instinct, timing, and harmony within a larger ecological intelligence.

MUNGA PLAINS

Set within the vast wilderness of Botswana, Munga Plains is an intimate camp shaped by intention, and respect for the land it rests on. Every structure is designed to sit lightly on the earth with elevated living and communal spaces that open fully to the plains. Shaded lounges, a swimming pool, and open-air dining areas invite both gathering and stillness beneath the shifting African sky. Located on the edge of Chobe National Park, without fences, the safaris bring you close to the world's largest elephant population, 450 bird species, and a wide variety of herds pulled to its riverbanks.
​​
Accommodations consist of beautifully appointed en-suite glamping tents, each positioned on its own wooden deck with a private veranda looking out into the wild. Thoughtful comforts like fans, mosquito nets, and hot-water showers are woven into the simplicity of the environment, while the sounds of the bush move through canvas at night.

The retreat begins in Zimbabwe to experience Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Guests will stay at a partner lodge for the first night before transferring to Munga Plains for the remainder of the retreat.

“Why Africa? Sure, we could have gone a safer and more expected route. But when we take risks and make bold moves, it empowers others to do the same. Let's go on safari.”

NICOLE RE, WI

"International retreats are often very expensive, but they [Goodspace] created accessible payment schedules, with options to modify, if needed. Inclusion also extended into dietary considerations & name/pronoun intros. Communication ahead of time was clear & concise. If you're curious, hemming, or hawing, I would encourage you to go for it."

CARRIE S., WI

"To be given the gift of exploration, connection, and deep care feels like someone gently hugging your soul...Mary and Bridget have created something truly special. Not only is their business beautiful, but their friendship is just as inspiring—rooted in love, respect, and a genuine passion for what they share with others.
If you’re craving exploration, connection, and care… look no further than the gift of a Goodspace retreat."

DARBY M., CA

"I cannot recommend Goodspace Retreats enough! Joshua Tree was my second retreat with Goodspace, and I already can’t wait to book my third. Bridget and Mary have cultivated an amazing retreat company that is so welcoming and inclusive, truly anyone can enjoy the experiences they create."
