Imagine
Perched on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, looking out over a vast expanse of untouched wilderness, it is easy to imagine that we are looking through the eyes of our primitive ancestors. Only a few hundred kilometres from where the earliest human remains were found, little has changed for thousands of years.
We are, in fact, in the Cradle of Humanity where the landscape resonates with ancient instinctive wisdom. It is in this very place that our predecessors lived, thrived and evolved in perfect balance with nature, before making the journey to the farthest reaches of the globe. From this vantage point, we gain a unique perspective and this is why it is such an exceptional place to come on retreat.
Far removed from the distractions and cares of the rest of the world, Makena's Hills was created as a place to reach deep into our core and hold a mirror to our existence. Here, we can re-discover our bond with nature, find the space to create and be energised by the vibrancy of life surrounding us.
This forms the basis of our ethic - to return to simplicity, to learn how to listen to nature and our instincts. To heal the body, the mind and the soul. To rejoice in the marvel of this world, ponder our position within it and offer up our respect to the land and its inhabitants.
We invite you to stop, relax and release your innermost creative essence.
Set on a 100,000 acres of private wilderness teaming with wildlife and dotted with springs, we can assure you that the only disturbance may be the call of a lion at night or the early morning bird song.
