Shala Heart

Sanctuary & Retreat Center — a place of gathering and co-creation

Our Story

Shala means Space

Shala Heart was founded in 2016 as an open space for connection and exploration. Today it evolves and becomes embodied as a Temple — a sacred, intentional place, no longer simply open but consciously held. A home for those who have chosen to live in alignment with nature and are ready to offer their gift to the collective. Here, courses, events, music, art, healing practices, Ayurveda and conscious gatherings take shape: a return to the roots, to nature, and to Mother Africa, where creation begins again.

The Venue

The Space

A 280 m² Arched Temple and sacred spaces set in two acres of garden — the heart of every gathering.

“When I first walked into Shala Heart I was impressed, I was amazed, I was gob-smacked! Just the feeling of walking into this huge compound, entering the house and seeing the art… I said: Wow, this is my kind of scene, I love this!”
