Wow. This little slice of heaven has been nourishing and enchanting and so much of EVERYTHING that I needed. Ange, you are deeply skillful. I have felt safe and held every step of this journey. You have such a breadth of knowledge and always had just the right thing at the right time to offer me to support my unfurling. It was a great honour and inspiration to bear witness to a woman living boldly in her power and her faith. I am certainly taking that energy back with me as inspiration. To the furry ones and the nature spirits – my heart thanks you. Until the next time.

Staying at High Hopes was a life-changing experience. My mind, soul and body was nourished by Ange, Sharon and the many practitioners who helped me reconnect with myself. The property itself is the perfect place in which to unwind and breathe properly again – there are so many quiet nooks to soak up the sun and relax in nature; I felt like I was in The Secret Garden.

Such an incredible space to learn, heal and celebrate life.
I learnt so much about my history and the patterns that were created from it.
I was lead gently and with great knowledge and understanding.
It was amazing and can not wait for my next retreat.

I felt safe at all times, allowing myself to become vulnerable to healing in body, mind and spirit. Ange’s treatments are well recognized in the field of complementary medicine and are scientifically sound. Add to this her background in psychology, kinesiology, Reiki and many other complementary medicine fields; as well as a deep inner strength as a natural healer.

“I feel we have done well. I believe that even though the grieving is still going to be a journey, thanks to the team at High Hopes I feel lighter, I know where to go from here. The stuck position I thought I was in, and the overwhelming grief, now I feel I can handle .”
Thomas Mpho, age 39, company director, attended intensive personal journey retreat- april 2019
It was probably the best gift my parents could’ve ever given me. The week we spent at High Hopes was indeed a life-changing experience and I sincerely hope that I can continue to implement the valuable tools I’ve learned in my time there.

emmanuel kapera, age 34, tanzania, corporate senior consultant, attended weight loss & detox retreat – december 2018
I was a completely different person once my retreat was complete. I had the tools and support necessary to go back into the noise of life outside of Greyton with confidence and the belief that I had choices (and the ability to make them!) that would allow me to live a happy, fulfilling life, free of the troubles that had bound me.
anna nation, head of hr Barclays, london, attended grief and trauma recovery retreat – february 2012 AND 2015
“No need to tell you how special High Hopes is. Thank you again so much you special people. The retreat was life changing for me. Since my retreat last year I have been through a HUGE change for the good. I was so uptight, tense all the time, not sleeping – And now my staff think I am different person”
