Description
Rewild Trail — An Embodied Journey Into the Wild
A raw, embodied return : to Earth, to Self, to Something Greater.
For six days, we move slowly through the wilderness, carrying only what we need, sleeping close to the Earth, letting the wild set the pace. It’s not about distance or destination. It’s the opportunity for presence. Softening to what arises. Remembering what it means to belong.
Days unfold on foot, sometimes barefoot, attuning to the language of the bush: bird calls, shifting light, animal tracks, silence. Nights gather us around the fire, where stories rise, laughter flows, and quiet lingers.
This is the Rewild Trail.
Why the Wild
Our bodies already know what science now confirms: time in nature regulates the nervous system, restores balance, calms the mind, and sparks creativity. Even twenty minutes outside can shift something inside. Imagine six days : immersed, alive, held by wilderness.
Here, the bush is not a backdrop. It’s a teacher. The trees, the tracks, the rivers, the night calls : each one a thread in the web of life, reflecting something back to us.
As we slow down and open, we begin to feel ourselves as part of that web, not separate from it.
This is where Rewild lives: in the space between outer wilderness and inner wilderness, where the two mirror each other and reveal what we already carry within.
What the Trail Offers
The Rewild Trail weaves wilderness guiding with facilitation, creating a rare and authentic space for transformation.
Bringing together experience of tracking, observing, protecting the land, with the wisdom of the ecological patterns that hold this world together are illuminated as they arise from each moment, opening us to a deeper understanding of the bush an if we allow it, ourselves.
I hold the inner container. With experience in facilitation, embodiment, and reflection, I create space for participants to meet themselves through simple processes : yoga, meditation, breathing, sensory awareness, journaling, fire-side circles.
These practices help us navigate both ease and discomfort, the fertile ground where transformation takes root.
Together, complementing one another, offering a rare chance to meet the wild both outside and within.
We all journey together. There is no fixed outcome. Nothing “done to you.” Only dedicated time to practicing, processing, and being as close to the source as possible.
A Space to Remember
This trail is an invitation to slow down and allow. To sit still enough to notice. To ask yourself the questions and see what arises. To step into what meets you : to reflect, share, express, and play.
It’s a space for:
Reflection and expression
Meeting your inner intelligence and letting it speak
Building bonds with fellow walkers : strangers who quickly become kin through shared experience
Presence, play, and deep listening
The act of walking, carrying your needs, and sitting together in vulnerability creates a bond that lingers long after the trail.
Where We Walk
On this trail, we walk the northern Kruger wilderness. We carry our packs, move slowly, and camp under the African sky. The pace is gentle but steady. The practices are simple but potent. Nights are alive with stars, firelight, and silence.

Who It’s For
You don’t need to be an experienced hiker or meditator. All that’s required is a willingness to carry what you need, to move slowly, and to open to the journey.
This trail is for:
Those seeking more than a retreatt: a raw return.
Leaders, creatives, seekers: anyone ready to slow down and listen.
Solo travelers: safe and welcome.
Small groups (max 8 participants): intimate, with space for everyone to be seen.
Why This Trail Matters Now:
Travel is shifting. For many, it’s not enough to simply move through places, ticking off sights or collecting photographs.
What we’re seeking is depth, experiences that change us, that we carry home not just in our cameras, but in our bodies, our breath, and the way we move through the world.
Safari offers awe and wonder. The Rewild Trail offers something more. It’s not about rushing or consuming - we do enough of that at home. It’s slowing down, walking gently, and letting the land speak in its own time. Presence matters more than performance.
The trail creates space to reconnect: with the Earth beneath our feet, with the people beside us, and with ourselves. Under open skies, we return to the essence of being human, listening, learning, and remembering our place in the web of life.
Invitation
The Rewild Trail is not about doing more. It’s about softening into what is already here. Walking gently. Sleeping close to the Earth. Letting the bush hold us. Discovering what unfolds when we stop striving.
If this stirs something in you, the next trail is open.
Step into the wild. Step into yourself.
Remember what it means to belong.
