Our Soul Journeys to sacred Africa
are much more than just tours to visit the local sacred
places of power. Over the years they have developed
into journeys into the self. Journeys which are often
life changing for those who join us.
In leading these trips we have been
guided to structure our tours, to enable those willing
to open themselves up to whatever the divine has in
store for us - to go beyond the self imposed veils
and into Essence.
This journey begins with our reuniting
with Earth's energy at the base chakra of the planet
- Table Mountain and the reuniting with self.
During the tour and our visits to
local sacred sites, we will embrace the opportunity
to look at issues of barrenness and poverty consciousness
that may be embedded in our belief system.
We will also look at the mothering
and birthing aspects of self and create a space for
celebrating the child within - in playfulness, purity,
innocence and wisdom.
Nature holds an immeasurable lesson
for us and we in South Africa are blessed beyond words
with the abundance that She shares so freely. Through
connecting with Africa's wildlife and natural splendour
we reconnect with our own true nature - essence.
We offer you the opportunity to go
beyond the guarded self and to connect with each other
in a small intimate group, at the level of your true
essence - which is Love.
If you feel drawn to visit the rainbow
nation of South
Africa

amazing wildlife, its sacred places of power, its
wonderful people - on a journey
