I recently returned to Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa for my second visit, except this time I got to journey alongside 3 of my closest brothers — Boyd, Chase, and Greg. And it was nothing short of epic.
In 1926, Boyd’s great-grandfather purchased a bankrupt cattle farm and after years of partnering with nature and devising a model that allowed for the land to be honored and protected this special place became Londolozi Game Reserve. To say that Londolozi is a magical experience is an understatement. It’s the depth of presence one sinks into simply by being on the land, the connection to the wild that is also within us, and the reconnection to our knowing that really does something special and expansive to the psyche.
We dive into…
→ How our anxiety and depression often stems from a sense of meaninglessness
→ The realization that our wants and needs remove us from presence and appreciation
→ Shifting from our comparative world into a relational world
→ The ‘knowing’ in each of us that is beyond rational thought
→ The parallels between tracking animals and our journey through life
→ Embracing the moments of quiet presence
→ A hippo encounter that turned expansive
→ And more!
