In Understanding the Inter- connectedness of All Things – We explore the Inner and Outer Landscapes. As we travel
We Heal Ourselves, We Heal Our Earth
An experience that will transform the way you perceive yourself and the world around you.
Our Sacred Sites Adventure Journey will take us through two south african countries, on a journey of re-discovery.
Botswana – Namibia
The Spirit of Mother Africa is deeply rooted in the Earth and land and in all that She nurtures; her Trees, her animals and her people. We will explore, interact and connect to this Nature and Spirit that surround the ancient Sacred Sites of southern Africa, and the energy, wisdom and memory they hold. An experience that will transform the way you perceive yourself and the world around you. Time will be spent interacting and connecting to the collective Nature and Spirit of the Land, Animals and Indigenous People, the Prehistoric Sacred Places of the ancient One’s and the Energies, Wisdom and Memories they hold. We will have authentic meetings and interactions with the indigenous “First People” and their healers, taking time for meditation, ceremonies and seeding of intentions for oneself, the planet and humanity. All this will be done with a lightness of heart, as we co-create a fun-filled journey that will be the adventure of a life time, where we re-discover and remember the inner and outer landscapes that surround and enshrine us.
Understanding the interconnectedness of all things, we follow the Songlines of Mother Africa and Her People
As we heal ourselves we heal humanity!
A 15-day experience that will transform the way you perceive yourself and the world around you. Come explore the nature and spirit of Mama Africa, as we tune-in to a Golden Healing Earth Songline that flows around Mother Earth and connects Africa, the USA, Solomon Islands and Australia through sacred sites and energy points. We begin our journey on the west coast of Namibia, where the desert dunes meet the sea. We then travel east, visiting the powerful and sacred Spitzkoppe & Erongo Mountains, in central Namibia, to the remote Ju/'Hoansi bushmen community, at Tsumkwe, experiencing authentic connections with indigenous eleders and healers . We then travel to the far North West to the Brandberg Crystal Mountain, along the way connecting with some of the oldest African shamanic rock art. We continue along our journey of remembering and healing, through Etosha Pan,connecting to the animals of this land, then into Botswana and immerse ourselves in the Great Okavango River, and end our journey bush glamping at the sacred Tsodilo Hills and hold ceremony at the Serpent Cave possibly the oldest earth temple of humankind, 70 000yrs old. As a dynamic group we explore the energies, wisdom and memories along this golden songline. Finally flying back to Johannesburg from Maun Botswana.
A truly African Sacred Safari, a Journey into the Antiquity of the Human Spirit.
