Stillness and Breath

Donald Nxumalo

Inventure Experience, Men's Inventure | May 2023

This was an immersive experience as one becomes one with nature. The site next to the river was equally impressive and provided a picturesque background for what lay ahead.

On this journey I learned to be still and sit with my thoughts and listened to my heartbeat and breaths. I became aware of my body and gained the invaluable skills of meditation, sitting in stillness and breathwork, in between the long walks and journaling and having time to explore the beautiful karoo on my own.

Julie’s guiding hand and patient approach in teaching and being present for these learning moments are perhaps the reason why the trip was so deeply moving and meaningful. It has made a lasting impression.
