Hello
My name is Fikile (meaning ‘arrived’ in the isiXhosa language). I was born in Nqamakwe, South Africa, close to Nelson Mandela’s village in the Eastern Cape and therefore stem from a lineage of strong Xhosa roots.
My career as a Television host on MTV Africa & Radio DJ in Southern Africa is how the name FIX became a household name in the media/music industry. Beyond my media personality presence, I am an Inner MBA graduate & Social Entrepreneur having graduated at the University of Pretoria, and completed formal training in the US at Columbia College Chicago.
I co-founded with my partner; The Yoga Bar Zanzibar (a family business), having begun my mindfulness practice in 2010 which marks a very important chapter in my own healing journey.
My extensive background in personal development, entrepreneurship, marketing/media, mindfulness and music has helped me evolve and create a unique offering in leading this transformative retreat of self-discovery. I look forward to connecting with you in life's divine timing.

Why Zanzibar?
Zanzibar’s Spirit Culture & People
Zanzibar blends African, Arab, Indian and European influences, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Known for their warmth, Zanzibar is live deeply rooted in tradition which shows in their music , food and Swahili architecture. The slow pace invites deep relaxation and connection to the present.
An Ideal Setting for Healing
Surrounded by the Indian Ocean waters and tropical breezes, Zanzibar is a sanctuary for reflection and inner growth. Its authentic nature of ‘outdoor living’ and ‘slow living’ lifestyle supports the retreat’s focus of self care and kindness.
Ocean Cleanse
Supporting the YIN energy with spectacular ocean views and full moons, a cleanse and space for renewal is encouraged through ocean activities like swimming, beach walks and kite surfing if adventure is what you seek. When we ground ourselves in the magnificence of nature, we remember how to be our true authentic selves, reflected back as part nature - and not separate.
What can you expect and how will you benefit from this retreat?
Ancient Practices of Movement
Whether it is Yin Yoga, Hatha Yoga Flow, Vinyasa Yoga Flow, Yoga Nidra or Qi Gong – movement is a somatic experience. SOMA (meaning Wisdom of the body). Our sessions are experimental and offer a deep reset through movement. Perfect for those seeking emotional release, spiritual awakening & creative freedom.
Secret Sunrise Beach Dance/ Silent Yin Yoga
Music has been my art and passion for years, not just as a DJ but as a tool for transformation and healing. In our sound healing session we will do a Secret Sunrise and a Silent Yin Yoga Journey. These guided practices tap into your emotions, your memories and your dreams.It is a special moment where we gather at dawn or sunset, and let the music guide us as the sun rises over Zanzibar’s ocean or sets behind the horizon. It's not just an inner & outer dance, it's a celebration of life, new beginnings, and most importantly finding joy within through gratitude. With headphones on to take us deeper, we’ll move together in a shared experience that's intimate and profound, yet also fun and full of laughter or happy tears
1-1 Compassion Key Therapy/Facilitation
Compassion Key Therapy is a simple yet powerful healing system for sensitive individuals who want to go deep & fast into healing the root cause and create lasting changes. Our focus in these sessions is; healing the inner child, dissolving karmic distortions, bringing our heart & souls deepest desires into form, and unlocking the subconscious habit, wounds, reactions, karmic imprints & limitations so they can be released. This facilitation is similar to Gabor Mate’s Compassion Inquiry psychotherapeutic approach. A 1-1 facilitation will be included in the retreat package. (Further online follow-up sessions are available if needed).
Inner Circle Talks
Sometimes the deepest release happens through sharing - words, stories and past lessons. Sharing is optional but encouraged as these connections are a powerful part of the retreat. This is a safety container where I will share the four transformative phases that helped me bring awareness to old karmic narratives, and heal the inner child when I hit rock bottom. I will also share self care tips, nurturing rituals and spiritual practices/accessories I use for living in the flow and glow of life.
Ocean Activities
The ocean cleanses and holds a healing power of freedom. Take your shoes off, put on your swimsuit and reconnect with the ocean. Available activities; Swimming, Snorkeling, Sandbank Walking Meditation, Kitesurfing lessons or a Zanzibar Dhow Boat Trip
Silent Moments
“Silence is not the absence of sound but the beginning of listening” - Salome Voegelin
In the quiet moments of the retreat which shall mainly be during meals, meditations and journaling — participants get an opportunity to truly be mindful of each task at hand. Society is addicted to stimulation, productivity and planning. To sit in silence is a forgotten healing art, and so our HEAL Retreat encourages these prolonged periods of silence where every movement or gesture is coming from a greater place of presence.
Cultural Explorations
Rooted in Sufi and Islamic traditions, Zanzibar remains a peaceful and welcoming island with selected tourist activities from Dhow Boat rides (dolphins sighting), historic visits in Stone Town with a Zanzibari Herbalist, Local Cooking or Art Classes to magical Cave Swims. The itinerary is mindful towards retreat goers seeking rest & slow living therefore be sure to book yourself an extra few nights in our recommended accommodations on different parts of the island depending on your needs.Whether you are longing for daily beach swims on our pristine beaches or finding new inspiration through cultural exchanges, or simply escaping the noise to unwind, we have you covered.
The Yoga Bar:
The Yoga Bar, situated in Cairo Village, Kiwengwa — is truly a special place for my family. A space we created together to blend our love for wellness, community, the ocean and the natural beauty of Zanzibar. Everyday feels like a retreat, with sounds of waves, the tropical breezes and the peaceful energy of the village. Our Buddha inspired beach lounge is a WIFI-free zone, intimate and relaxing space offering locally inspired food with an Italian flair. Our mixologists are experimental with the organic fruits of the land, so everything is prepared fresh with loving detail. Be sure to try out our locally made Kombucha by Humankind Zanzibar.
The Yoga Bar’s best kept secret is its amazing rooftop ‘yoga shala’ that offers an expansive view of the ocean, letting each yoga and breathing practice flow with the rhythm of the waves. This outdoor studio serves as a safe place to honour your body and mental health with no judgement. There is a trained masseuse on-site for those in need of a little more TLC (tender love care). The Yoga Bar x HEAL Retreats offers the perfect environment to dive deep into healing and self discovery and rest.
