The Life Reset retreat
14 Days Transformational Retreat in Tanzania Africa
11-24 Nov 2025
Embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery with The Life Reset Process, a unique 14-day writing retreat at Ngare Sero Mountain Lodge in the heart of Tanzania.
Experience the adventure of a lifetime with an unforgettable safari, immersing yourself in Africa’s stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife.
Set against this breathtaking backdrop, the retreat combines deep introspective writing of your life, cultural exploration, thrilling safari adventures, and personal transformation.
Through guided reflection and life-story writing, you’ll gain clarity, process past experiences, and embrace a fresh perspective on your journey. This immersive experience is designed to help you “reset” your personal story, reconnect with your true self, and move forward with renewed purpose.
What is The Life Reset retreat?
The Life Reset Process is a powerful writing method designed to help you revisit, reprocess, and release stressful emotional memories from your past. Throughout this retreat, you’ll chronologically write your life memories, revisiting experiences from childhood to the present.
Through this process, you will:
✔ Understand your personal journey and the narratives that have shaped your life
✔ Identify and release limiting beliefs and emotional blocks from your past.
✔ Recognize recurring patterns and their impact on your present.
✔ Process and heal past traumas or unresolved emotions.
✔ Let go of what no longer serves you and create space for new beginnings
While the process involves deep and intimate personal exploration, This retreat process offers a supportive environment for you to have a space to share if you want to, and provide you with new insights, fresh perspectives, and accountability as you embark on your journey.
Retreat Location and Journeys
This retreat is not just about writing—it’s a journey of deep connection with nature, culture, and personal transformation. Alongside guided writing sessions, you’ll embark on unforgettable safari adventures, immerse yourself in local traditions, and explore some of Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes, witnessing wildlife in their natural habitat.

Wildlife Safari & Traveling Experience
🚙 Traveling by Safari Jeep – Enjoy comfortable, open-roof safari vehicles designed for wildlife viewing. You will explore vast grasslands, dense forests, and shimmering crater lakes filled with diverse animal life.
🐘 What You’ll Probably See on Safari:
•Elephants – Large herds roaming Tarangire’s savannas
•Lions – Observing prides resting under acacia trees

•Rhinos – Rare and protected in Ngorongoro Crater

🌅 Sunrise & Sunset Game Drives – Experience the magic of Africa at dawn and dusk, when wildlife is most active.
Ngorongoro Crater – A Lost World of Wonder
🦁 A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders, the Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera—an ancient, self-contained ecosystem unlike anywhere else on Earth. Surrounded by steep, green walls and filled with grasslands, wetlands, forests, and lakes, it provides a year-round haven for an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, including the iconic Big Five: lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo. The crater’s breathtaking scenery and rich biodiversity create a dreamlike atmosphere—a place where time seems suspended, and the raw beauty of nature awakens a deep sense of wonder and humility.
Arusha National Park – A Hidden Gem of Tanzania
🌿 Tucked at the base of majestic Mount Meru, Arusha National Park offers a striking blend of ecosystems—from misty rainforests and open savannas to sparkling crater lakes and volcanic landscapes. Though smaller and quieter than other parks, it bursts with life: giraffes stride across grassy plains, black-and-white colobus monkeys swing through forest canopies, and flocks of flamingos gather at the lakeshores. This peaceful, less-traveled reserve invites a slower pace of exploration, perfect for reflection, connection to nature, and easing gently into the rhythm of the retreat journey.
Tarangire National Park – Land of Giants
🌿 Tarangire is renowned for its massive herds of elephants, majestic ancient baobab trees, and rich wildlife diversity. Stretching across rolling savannahs and fed by the life-giving Tarangire River, the park becomes a sanctuary during the dry season, attracting elephants, zebras, giraffes, lions, and over 500 species of birds. The landscape is dotted with towering baobabs—some over a thousand years old—creating a surreal, almost sacred atmosphere. Known for its peaceful and less-crowded environment, Tarangire offers a deeply reflective experience, where the rhythm of nature invites quiet observation and inner stillness—making it a perfect complement to the retreat’s process of emotional release and personal renewal.
African Villages – Cultural Immersion
🏡 Experience authentic African village life and engage with local communities. You’ll meet the Maasai and other indigenous tribes, learn about their traditions, and gain new perspectives on simplicity, resilience, and connection.
The 14-Day Stages of The Life Reset Process
The Life Reset retreat consists of 1 to 2 sessions per day over 14 days and is structured into 3 stages:
Writing
Processing
Closing Ceremony
- During the process, sharing anything you’ve written is not mandatory.
- The length of each stage varies based on several factors, including the amount of time spent each day, age, memory recall, and more, but that is the usual duration for most people.
What to Expect During the Retreat
Writing
Over the course of two weeks, you will participate in 14 writing sessions. Each day, you will write for 1–2 hours, either at the lodge or in the park during the safari. The writing will be done with pen and paper, not on any digital device.
Guidance and ceremony
You will participate in three in-depth guidance sessions designed to support and deepen your journey, along with a meaningful closing ceremony that marks the completion and integration of your experience, all thoughtfully scheduled throughout the retreat.
Support
Throughout the entire two-week retreat, you will have ongoing support from Liav, who will be readily available to assist you with any questions or challenges that arise during the process. Whether you need guidance on the writing exercises, want to share insights or emotions, or require encouragement, Liav will provide a compassionate and attentive presence to help you stay connected and motivated. This support ensures you feel held and understood as you navigate your personal journey, making the experience both safe and enriching.
