Understanding Africa is complex. The illusion of time transcends through the ages like a damselfly over water. What we see on the surface is a shimmer, below the total light.
Journeying into the heart of the Mother continent, exploring the infiniteness of the rainforests, is a calibration tool unlocking answers of the human story - who we are and what we will become. Recently I had the honor of sharing 3 weeks with 2 incredible souls that showed immense trust and willingness to uncover the secrets of this wild continent. Journeying through the deep rainforests of the Congo basin is for those who seek answers to Life for the vulnerability and surrender demanded reciprocate into liberation and awareness.
We had the fortune to visit some of the least visited pockets of the lowland forests of Africa connecting with the organisms usually hidden deep within.

The journey took us through the extraordinary exhibition of habitats aross central Africa. Starting in Odzala National Park we had the privilege to spend time with the African Parks team and learn what it takes to manage a park of such scale and significance. Moving north and east, the unfolding guided us into the more logistically complex, finally arriving at a co-ordinate known as 'The Last Place on Earth' in Nouabale Ndoki. Ending off in the sanctity of Sangha and the 'village of elephants' at Dzanga Bai is a highlight of the Congo basin and one of the finest wildlife experiences in the world.

This is a part of our planet so fundamentally important for health and vitality.
The Congo basin guides us forward to the foothills of Truth, for she waits for no one and teaches us that we are animal.
Thank you.
"Surrender is the key that opens the door to the Great Spirit of Africa's rainforests. Swaddled in the epicenter of the Mother continent lies a chief forest shielding unimaginable secrets unlocked only through flexibility of the human mind."
