with George Hughes
We’re delighted to announce that George Hughes, Tergar International Guide, returns to South Africa in April 2026 to offer in-person Joy of Living workshops—and for the first time, he’ll be teaching in Johannesburg as well as Cape Town.
Learning in person with an experienced Tergar International Guide offers an invaluable opportunity for personalised guidance, community connection, and deepening your practice in a supportive environment.
These weekends offer the perfect balance of instruction, practice, and discussion to support your path.
