About Kimbuktu
Kimbuktu is a Guest Home & Retreat.
The guest home is your home away from home, in the beauty of nature. We are happy to offer our suggestions: hiking trails, walks and special nature spots, restaurants, shopping, and special events.
Our retreat experiences are rooted in The Expressive & Healing Arts, Nature and Ritual. A synergy of psychotherapy, mindfulness, yoga, meditation, dance, drumming, sound healing, visual arts, writing, storytelling, masks, theatrical and sacred clown, combined with a deep understanding of the healing power of the natural elements.
However you choose to spend your time at Kimbuktu, we believe that you will Explore True Nature, whether on a journey outside, inside, or perhaps both and return to life with enhanced well-being.
