Glengarry is situated at the foot of the Drakensberg. As soon as shadows lengthen, the temperature drops sharply. If you are not used to Winter in these parts, please remember to bring enough warm clothing to keep you comfortable. Rooms all have electric blankets, hot water bottles or fireplaces (wood for your own account) and fire will be an integral theme of our retreat. However, please do pack according to your individual “warmth” needs.
- Comfortable walking shoes
- Warm socks
- Some downtime shoes like slides (to wear warm socks with), woollen boots and slippers.
- A cap / hat
- Sunblock
- Casual wear for 3 days (think layers to peel up or down). There will be optional mat work and certainly some sitting outside cross legged, so do consider the stretchability of your pants.
- An exercise or yoga mat. Or anything you would be comfortable to lie & sit on.
- A jacket for outside around the fire

- Winter sleepwear
- A swimming costume (For those who wish to have a Wim Hof experience in an icy rock pool)
