There comes a time when pushing, performing, and holding everything together no longer feels aligned
You crave softness.
You crave spaciousness.
You crave to feel again – fully, safely, and without apology.
Ocean Eros is a held and grounded journey into embodiment, presence, and conscious ocean connection. Over eight luxurious nights, you will move, breathe, soften, swim, rest, and reconnect with the vibrant life-force within you.
Set against the turquoise waters and protected marine reserve of Ponta Malongane, this retreat invites you to slow down, regulate your nervous system, and experience ethical wild dolphin encounters in one of Africa’s most pristine coastal environments.

Meet Your Guides
Courtney Ward
Dolphin Swim Facilitator & Co-Founder, Halo Gaia
Since 1999, Courtney Ward – affectionately known as “Kiri Kiri” – has guided travelers into the wild beauty of Southern Mozambique. Rooted in complementary health, community upliftment, and the music of diverse cultures, her work blends ocean wisdom, sound, and heart-centered connection.
For over two decades, Courtney’s relationship with the wild bottlenose dolphins of Ponta Malongane has inspired her commitment to ethical encounters, marine conservation, and soulful retreat facilitation. Through Halo Gaia, she creates transformative spaces where simplicity, joy, and belonging arise naturally – in rhythm with the sea.
Sally Berg
Midlife Mentor & Embodiment Facilitator, Mature Eros
Since her early forties, Sally Berg has devoted her life to guiding women back to their bodies, their pleasure, and their authentic aliveness. After emerging from a five-year depression and healing from early trauma, she stepped onto a path of embodied feminine practice that transformed her relationship with herself – reclaiming safety, sensuality, and radiant vitality.
Through her work in Mature Eros, trauma-informed facilitation, and women’s leadership circles, she holds grounded, compassionate spaces where women soften, awaken, and remember who they truly are.
Sally believes that pleasure is power, healing is collective, and that midlife is not a fading – but an initiation into embodied wisdom.
