A Wellness Day with Moët, Matcha and Mindfulness: Mindmeld Hosts Retreat for Joburg’s Corporate Women

This July, a different kind of boardroom beckons, one filled with sound baths, slow sips, and self-reconnection.

Johannesburg women are known for their hustle. From balancing tight deadlines to juggling family commitments, their plates are almost always overflowing. But on Saturday, 26 July, Mindmeld is offering a rare invitation to step away from the daily grind.

Designed with corporate women in mind, though open to all who feel stretched thin, this one-day retreat is an antidote to burnout. It swaps urgent emails for quiet rituals and replaces performance reviews with curated beauty, nourishment, and community. And yes, there’s champagne involved.

A Morning to Breathe, Not Just Perform

Mindmeld founder Nonkululeko Buthelezi understands the need for sacred pause. What began as her personal pursuit of clarity has grown into a wellness movement for modern women seeking balance and intention.

The retreat kicks off with a sound healing session by Paige Cassidy Coetse, designed to gently ease guests into a slower, grounded state. A guided mindfulness practice follows, allowing attendees to momentarily drop the many roles they play and simply just be.

A key part of the day is a mental health conversation led by local voices, a space where the emotional load of womanhood, especially in high-pressure spaces, is acknowledged with care and honesty.

Beauty That Feels as Good as It Looks

In a world of curated filters and rigid beauty standards, Mindmeld takes a refreshing approach: celebrating beauty that honours your natural self.

Guests will enjoy a makeup masterclass from Sensai Beauty, a global brand rooted in Japanese principles of balance and understated elegance. The session will focus on techniques that work with your features, not against them.

Adding a proudly local touch is FemRoar Skincare, a South African brand centred around conscious confidence. In a unique offering, each guest receives a FemRoar outfit to wear on the day, sized in advance and designed to match the day’s soft energy.

There’ll also be hands-on moments with body sculpting demos and rolling therapy stations to explore wellness as a tactile, sensory experience.

Moët Tastings and Matcha Moments

This isn’t just a yoga mat and fruit bowl situation. Luxury is part of the language here, woven thoughtfully into the experience.

At the Moët & Chandon tasting bar, guests will sample four of the brand’s signature champagnes: the crisp Brut, delicate Rosé, breezy ICE, and dessert-leaning Nectar. It’s all about enjoying indulgence as part of self-care, not separate from it.

Food-wise, expect a light but flavourful menu built around wholesome ingredients. The hero of the spread? A matcha ritual curated by the Mindmeld team, offering guests a quiet, antioxidant-rich moment of stillness.

This isn’t your average wellness retreat. It’s a celebration of feminine resilience, a day to be nurtured instead of needed, and a reminder that slowing down is not the opposite of success but part of it.
