It really isn't easy to describe the impact nor the experience without dropping into poetry or story or both. The venue was magnificent, the guides and their ability to traverse the strange roads of the soul and consciousness was incredible. I think the aftermath of insights, questions and reflections are the real treasure that comes out of this time questing with SoulCraft Africa. I feel so grateful and extremely humbled to have been on this journey with such magnificent humans and such a magnificent more than human community of the ancient Cederberg mountains. Thank you ALL!

This programme took me to great depths of understanding my wounded beliefs and how it was holding me back from feeling my wholeness. I realise my power and my ability to choose to believe in my wholeness
It helped me to feel how I am completely part of life, known by life, cared for and lovingly guided.
I came to feel ,with a depth that remains with me each day,how my life is a soul's journey of remembering who I am.
I am now greatly aware and honoring of my unique significance and soul gifts.
I look at my life with excitement, feeling my huge potential to be a significant contributor to the remembering of who we are .

Oftentimes, we ask for something and nature gives us so much more than we asked for. This is how I would describe my WildMind experience. I went in with the intention of connecting more deeply with nature and thus myself and what unfolded for me was deeper and more expansive than I could have imagined. I felt beautifully held and guided into my being, knowing that all parts of me are welcomed. I was able to practice deep listening, feeling the presence of my ancestors, which for me brought my awareness to grief that needed to be witnessed and metabolised. Overall, my experience was profoundly nourishing, cathartic and empowering. I’ve spent most of my life wondering about my medicine and place in this world and what has become clear for me since the WindMild Intensive is that I’m a warrior of love. Words can’t even express my gratitude.

This work is pure magic. It is truly extrordinary how the activities in nature facilitate such great insights about soul and self in our natural and social world of today. Brian is a facilitator like no other, and is able to merge the course activities with dreamwork and personal insights for each member of the group in ways that challenge and inspire. It is essential work for our times.

Brian is a master facilitator. He brings a profound depth, sense of humour and care to this work. His listening skills, attention to the energy of the group and his ability to seamlessly weave his knowledge through the talks was incredible to experience. It was a real privilege for me to be introduced to the work by Brian and I look forward to any future opportunity to sit with him again.

I am so grateful to be on this path, and I am loosely holding all that has come to me so that I can feel into the realisations and reflections. This is a time of consciously moving forward with my purpose – but I am still allowing space for aspects to flow through me as opposed to driving my own agenda. .

I feel deeply inclined to continue with this work. It feels like it is ... a part of my life’s calling. In some sense, it is the most important thing. The SoulCraft intensive helped me to loosen my grip on reality a bit. To surrender and trust the mystery a little more, even if I don’t understand it or always feel like i'm ‘getting it’. Just following the feeling of being pulled, by my own curiosity, sense of excitement and dreams. The feeling is one of falling into the mystery now. Allowing myself to dissolve, if that is what needs to happen, and trusting that it will take care of me, essentially.

The Soulcraft Intensive was a sublime experience which continues to deliver valuable insights for me months after completion of the process itself. To this day, I look back with a glowing fondness, a yearning and a bewilderment about what actually transpired for me, within me and around me during my time in Leshiba. The wild others - the attentive animals, the wrangled trees in shadowy groves, and the gleaming vastness of cloud-streaked skies meeting the embrace of open red-earthed valleys – are all vividly etched in memory and woven into the fabric of my being. I’m still bemused about how fluidly psyche and nature seemed to merge - the uncanny signs, profound dreams and animal encounters almost became normalised during this exploration of the underworld. The ability to speak openly and be truly heard within our little pop-up tribe that came together, felt deeply and shared freely, was also precious. And Brian’s expert facilitation was next level – a new benchmark. I’ve experienced a lot of facilitation but few, if anyone, have been as adept as Brian in exercising such wide-ranging talent, that which is truly needed to guide the journey into soul.
