"Our workshop group enjoyed being at Novalis Ubuntu. There is a relaxed atmosphere, but at the same time there is a quality of nurturing and honoring of the sacred within each person – which has its effect whether participants are conscious of this or not. We will definitely make use of the venue in the future" - Louise Sterling
