In support of BirdLife South Africa and hosted at BOSJES you are invited to spend an inspiring morning with us on one of our most celebrated award-winning architecture and gardens on a working farm.
This experience is designed for adults but would be appropriate for art minded pre-teens and teenagers too.
BOSJES Farm is a place where architecture, heritage, and natural beauty exist in perfect harmony. Nestled in the tranquil Slanghoek Valley, it offers sweeping mountain views, indigenous gardens, and quiet walking trails that invite slow, mindful exploration. With its serene atmosphere and commitment to conservation, Bosjes is more than just a destination—it’s a sanctuary for the soul. It’s the ideal setting to disconnect from daily noise and reconnect with nature, creativity, and yourself.
Our seasoned bird guide for the morning will be Daniel Engelbrecht who is currently pursuing a Degree at the University of Stellenbosch. "My pursuit of birds has taken me to some exciting destinations over the past few years, including Australia, Turkey, Madagascar, Mauritius, much of southern Africa (Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia, South Africa), the Southern Ocean, and the neotropics, in countries including Panama, Brazil, and Argentina."
We'll start the morning off birding and meandering the majestic foothills of Slanghoek Valley in search of our most celebrated birdlife. This will be followed by a delicious MCC Bubbly & Brunch at the Restaurant after which we will sit together and be guided through an immersive and enlightening workshop of Creative Expression, inspired by the act of flight.
Fine Artist Jeanne Hugo champions the use of only the finest natural inks & pigments and will teach you simple strategies to connect to your own art-making flow through the power of nature.
This event promises to leave you incredibly enriched and inspired!
*Please note that this is not your typical art class and it not necessary for you to be able to paint or draw.
