The Experience:

How would you turn that passion into an actual experience?Imagine arriving at our wine estate, at the foot of two merging mountain ranges, having (maybe) spent the night in our sister hotel next door.You partake in a yoga class (beginner friendly, indoors or out), with a light relaxation at the end.

After that you are treated to one of several African coffee blends, and a healthy snack at our Roastery, and then hop on the Jeep to fire some shots at our clay pigeon adventure range.If shooting is not for you, how about booking in for a 60min deep massage at our Spiral Aloe Medi Spa - or choose from a variety of decadent treatments.

Then, while touring you through our art gallery, we take you to the classic cars museum for an enlightening journey into the realm of our own Abru craft brewery before lunch.Lunch at the Millhouse with views of the Helderberg and Hottentots Holland is the perfect time to take pics of you and your group, catch up on the adventures of the day, refresh and fill the tummy with gourmet goodness.

Finally, walk on over to the Lourensford Wine Cellar for a wine & chocolate tasting experience to entice the senses.

If you are joining us on a Friday or Sunday, be sure to cruise your way through the Twilight Market, and stock up on fresh berries, low-carb treats, and every other food while listening to live music.

Mother Cupper Leaves Her Mark On SA Massage Therapists

Published: 19 February 2015

A small group of excited Cape Town based massage therapists recently attended a 2 day intensive Dynamic Cupping Therapy Massage Workshop held at the Sport Science Institute in Newlands. The workshop was conducted by USA Massage Hall of Fame inductee, Anita Shannon, often, endearingly referred to as the"MotherCupper" by thousands of students whom have had the privilege to work with and study her contemporary methods of a nearly 3000 year old alternative medicine tradition, cupping therapy, still prolific throughout the Middle East and Asia.

Anita Shannon is the recently appointed Director of Advanced Education and Training for MIRA Dynamics International, Director of Advanced Continuing Education (ACE), an NCBTMB Continuing Education provider established in 2001, she has presented countless workshops on ACE Massage Cupping™ and MediCupping™ at international locations since developing these brands of bodywork in 2002. Anita has published six articles on this subject in Massage Today, Massage Magazine and Les Nouvelles Esthetiques, along with publishing five educational videos, and is currently writing a book on VacuTherapies™.

With her vast knowledge and experience and her first visit to South Africa, Anita added much needed professional perspectives and years of accumulated wisdom to professionals in the sport, physio, massage therapy, alternative medicine, Chinese medicine and natural beauty industries. Anita said, "I am duly impressed by the professional caliber of the South Africans who attended and look forward to returning later this year. I understand that cupping therapy is relatively new here and I love teaching this wonderful, and quite frankly, necessary healing massage technique that would compliment any therapists practice."

"Dynamic Cupping Therapy is a holistic healing method based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, developed and researched by Anita along with MIRA Dynamics International and offers a natural alternative for relief, cure and solution to every day health and beauty problems." said Derrick Z. Venter, CEO of MIRA. "Essentially, I am hoping to see this exciting practice instituted by practitioners in the sport therapy, massage therapy, physio and health and beauty industries in SA.

"MDI is continuously developing, researching and disseminating best practices, new discoveries and educational materials and we are keen to collaborate with professionals and doctors respectively, we aim to have Dynamic Cupping Therapy accepted as an accredited educational program here in South Africa." Mr. Venter added.

"We would love to have a South African based Educator/Trainer on the MIRA team. He or she would receive extensive training from Anita and we invite interested and qualified people to contact us via our website or Facebook page". said Derrick Z. Venter.

MIRA SA is the distributor of MIRA Dynamics Professional Cupping Therapy Tools and complimentary products in South Africa and welcome inquiries from interested retail and wholesale partners.
