DE RUST - HIDEAWAY

COMMUNITY IS NEVER MADE ALONE

DE RUST is more than a farm, a studio, or a nursery.
It’s a growing creative retreat and community space in Cape Town, built for expression, collaboration, and shared experience.

We’ve opened our studio and land to be shared.
A place where visions take shape, skills are exchanged, and creativity flows naturally between people.

Stay with us in our Stone Cottage or Studio space, and soon our Tiny Houses, quietly taking form, ready to welcome you.

Yin & Restorative Yoga by Amy
Thursdays | 6:00–7:30pm | R250

Slow down. Soften. Come home to yourself.

Join us for a ninety-minute Yin / restorative practice guided by Amy - known for her grounding work with Rocklands Yoga (@amy__ns / @rocklandsyoga). Her approach weaves deep presence, slow intentional movement, and quiet meditation into a nourishing space to unwind and restore.

Held within the calm of the forest at DE RUST Hideaway, this practice helps regulate the nervous system, release stored tension, and reconnect you with the quiet wisdom of your body.

A space to soften. A space to restore. A space to remember your stillness.

The word Tantra has been tangled in mystery.
Too often reduced to something exotic, or purely erotic.
But its roots are older, wilder, and infinitely more alive.

This gathering is not about performance or fantasy.
It is about coming home - into the pulse of your own aliveness.
Into the subtle currents that move breath, body, and consciousness as one.
Through movement, breath, sound, and stillness we explore the architecture of awakening the ancient Tantra offerings — a living map for the modern human seeking depth, presence, and truth.

A 4-hour journey through foundational tantric practices:
* Asana — The posture of presence.
* Pranayama — Breath as bridge between worlds.
* Bhuta Shuddhi — Cleansing and harmonizing the elements within.
* Shunyata — Dissolving into the vast, lucid space of being.
* Sushumna — Opening the central channel, where peace and power meet.
* Spanda — Listening to the subtle pulse of creation.
* Mantra — Sound as vibration, vibration as awakening.

This is an invitation to drop the myths and meet the truth - the quiet radiance Tantra points to.
When: 16 November 2025 · 11:00 – 15:00

A Unique Tattoo Experience in Hout Bay.

I’m deeply grateful to welcome you into a space that’s more than just a studio, it’s a creative sanctuary nestled in the heart of Hout Bay, Cape Town.

This is a place for meaningful work where every tattoo is a collaboration, and every piece is one-of-a-kind. I work exclusively with custom designs, focusing on high quality, intentional artwork. If you’re looking for something deeply personal, you’re in the right place.

✣ I specialize in Ornamental Body Art and Colourful Psychedelic designs, crafted to complement your body and spirit. My approach is detailed, thoughtful, and always evolving.

✣ For those who feel called, I now offer an optional grounding ritual before sessions — including sound bowl healing and a short meditation — to help you settle, align, and fully arrive in the moment.

🗓️ Space is limited each month. A deposit is required to confirm your booking and begin the design process.

If this feels aligned with what you’re seeking, feel free to reach out. I’d love to hear your ideas and create something beautiful together.

Warmly,
Dan Kazan
