RESTORATIVE

RESTORATIVE ENCOUNTERS

& TRAILS

Everything is connected. How it goes with nature goes it with us.

Our world is now being fundamentally transformed by both social and ecological forces that can no longer be ignored. We have the capacity and responsibility to create a remarkably different future, one that is innovative, ecologically aware and restorative in behaviour.

WHY?

WE SHARE A KINSHIP WITH NATURE

The law of ecology governs all life and operating systems of the planet. Its just that mankind has stepped outside this ancient order of things, losing the track of our ecological identity.
Our fundamental reliance on a healthy and bio-diverse environment and natural processes is absolutely essential for our well-being. And there can surely be no greater urgency to relook how we are living, than the present hour.

The conservation of or natural environment is not only about the conservation of animals, plants, air and water, but the regeneration of a sacred attitude toward environmental awareness. Our vision is to develop this connection, motivating a higher consciousness to protect, and regenerate nature.

HOW?

TAKING OUR LEAD FROM THE WILD

By exploring and understanding the restorative quality in nature; that which has meaningful and lasting effects on our own self-discovery. This within both personal and professional environments.

Through the wilderness experience on trail in the African bush, we open our minds to a different kind of tracking. That of our inner landscapes; our values, priorities and legacies. The redemptive space of wilderness affords us extraordinary patterns of design and renewal, interdependence and balance, efficiency and temperance. Critical principles in underscoring the ecology of modern leadership.

WHAT?

RE-ROOTING IN NATURE

Our meaningful multi-day wilderness trails create opportunities to explore the sense of wonder nature inspires. Adventurous, stirring and enlightening, the trails are led by Alan through some of southern Africa’s wildest and remotest wilderness regions.

By spending time on foot tracking big game, we return to the roots of it all. This connection and deeper awareness provides moments of personal clarity, triumph, tolerance and regeneration.

This provides moments of personal clarity, triumph, tolerance and regeneration. The earth provides a prime source of understanding and knowledge. The gateway to this is simple attention, A redemptive stillness to reflect.
