Awake in the Wilderness
While this is not IMISA organized event, this event provided by our members, Matthew & Pete might be of value and interest to you.
Awake in the Wilderness is a mindfulness-based retreat in the Umfolozi Game Reserve area in South Africa. The Umfolozi Game reserve is a 40 000 hectare African wilderness, well known for its large carnivores and other big mammals, especially elephant, black rhino and white rhino. The area used for the retreat is restricted so there are no cars, computers, phones or other people. The natural stillness and quiet that results, provides an excellent setting for connecting inwardly.
Practicing mindfulness in the African wilderness in the presence of big game brings us to our senses in a profound way and draws us into silence, stillness and a sense of interconnectedness with all of nature.
