Anser associate Johan Kleine specializes in leadership and organizes with wilderness guide Ian Reed regularly travel to Africa. Klaas colleague Michael Elema accepted the invitation and went with him. In this personal blog, he shares his extraordinary experiences.
But actually my journey started back in 2010. The first encounter with a man I knew through his mother, but had never really been in contact with. A special meeting with Johan which eventually resulted in the awareness of a process of change since that time and before.
Not that it's his fault, not that. It was apparently time for something else to do. There was a long time to work closely together and talk and think about all sorts of events. Then for the first time met the great South African.
I was actually sold. I actually knew that I wanted to experience the wilderness experience though I did not know exactly what awaited me. But I knew I had to follow my feelings more, do the things I had to say goodbye and get energy from taking what I had been through and all experience.
Johan gave me the "feel" when, really feel your body what a particular situation with you or people around you can do. Change is not something technocratic, ibep something you can do and what is also easy to shape.
The final step to go was made on 20 September. At home, we were jointly preparing cases. ibep Johan told, after the previous day even though eea about having said that the trip finally went and there was still quite a place, which was right? For me
Had to think about it, the information was sent the next day and I mentioned that I would finally decide Johan. The following Monday after the weekend, Less than 15 minutes later, the flight was booked and I had notified me. Preparation
From the time of booking the real journey began. Where I was getting into, what to expect from it. In the three and a half weeks until the trip every week, yet reasonably faithfully performed ibep the tasks in preparation. Although the "go" Nature was not much.
Sat at a time or in the woods, ibep but remember that I only aimlessly around me staring. The assignment was to already hold a kind of log and write down what I experienced, but felt deeper questions had to be answered. Sometimes quite tricky if you're not used to writing or to write off you and something meaningful to rely on the paper.
At the end of the preparatory period, just before the 20st October conscious with my immediate family sat around the table. Had a nice last evening and shared what kept me busy. Thought it was all very exciting and uncertainty ibep about where you end up what it will do to you was still present. The journey
The official departure was on October 20. Via Heathrow, Johannesburg to Durban. Grinning were Johan and Ian waiting for us. Brussels already met some fellow travelers, it promised to be right. Been a special journey Very nice, sweet and committed ibep people.
The transitions were huge though you do not always realize as well. The literal transition from continent to continent, a different environment, and then end up without a watch, mobile or similar nature. First you have the impression, I like walking in a park, but that is really ibep different. You're really going to make a move in another, completely new world for you, "the Jungle" we call it. I fell in love, how do you say in that area? Also overwhelms the beauty, tranquility and cleanliness ibep of the area.
The final report of the trip that I have read during the last council follows below. I think it gives a good picture of what has made the trip with me until the last day.
Went the first day, uncertain, exciting, the adventure. ibep Maybe the word is strange. A completely unknown territory, so pure. Overwhelmingly, a boys? Spend the night in the open air .. What struck me almost immediately ibep was the overwhelming silence, or at least no sound does not belong in the natural home. The smell, the light the darkness.
I'm Atheist, but would just fall off. Belief that Skepticism about what it does to you, that you could get, is gone. Although I've always been a nature person and feel related, there was always something rationally to figure out why I find something nice. Now it is beautiful because it is. I struggled to connect with what nature told people, we share in that context with other insights.
The water was not really a concern but it did make me realize that you need it in any form whatsoever. The strength and attraction m
