Together we aim to be a force for regeneration, leaving a lasting legacy of resilience, wellness and environmental stewardship.

Our Story

In a world yearning for love and regeneration, The Big Love has emerged as a radiant beacon of healing and transformation on the global wellness map, right here in Africa.

 

Driven by the profound understanding that traditional paths to holistic well-being are no longer enough, our Founder, Cody Edene, harnessed her passion for authentic African healing and regenerative practices and set out to create retreats that would captivate, heal and inspire guests with their fresh and unparalleled approach.

 

​Founded in 2022, The Big Love Africa is evolving into one of the reference wellness sanctuaries in Africa attracting travellers from all over the world.

THE BIG LOVE

Mission

Through the Big Love Africa wellness retreats, deeply rooted in the essence of African identity and guided by regenerative practices, we want to be the most loving and regenerative wellness brand on Mother Earth.

Vision

To provide the most nurturing, transformative and loving wellness programmes with a unique African touch that reach deep within the souls of our guests while also working collaboratively with the local community and beyond - all while operating with the deepest reverence for Mother Nature.

Values

From sourcing sustainable, locally-produced ingredients for our menus to optimising energy consumption and waste management, our commitment to regenerative practices is evident in every operational detail.

Operations

Whether it's yoga sessions amidst lush greenery, mindfulness workshops, or guided nature walks, every activity is a conscious step towards nurturing the individual and nurturing the environment.

Activities

We believe that by fostering a sense of belonging, respect, and compassion among our employees, guests and community, we can collectively contribute to the well-being of all.

People

Our practices, from reforestation efforts to banning single-use plastics, are driven by the belief that we must give back more than we take. By nurturing the land and ecosystems around us, we aim to create a haven where both nature and humanity can thrive together.

Environment

A regenerative mindset

underscores all that we do

“The Big Love exists energetically as a place for deep healing, personal transformation and spiritual growth. Fuelled by love and a strong sense of purpose and integrity, we want to make a genuinely positive impact on the world - through a Big Love for ourselves, Mother Earth and all living beings.”
