Our 2011 Tour schedule will be released shortly. You can get information on the tour program from previous years itinerary below.

Earth’s spirit does not discriminate. It resonates in all matter. Although the tuned human being is conscious of others’ spirit, we’re often deaf to the subtle messages that fellow products of creation send. Indications are that plants, animals, rocks and even open space – having witnessed bold events through the millennia - convey frequencies or messages. If we would only learn to listen to the ancient, this communication could provide desperate answers.

This tour provides a journey to and self searching of the essence and soul of plants, man and nature through rich interaction with some of the most prolific biomes and landscapes, and interpretation by masters in their field.

Set amongst the majestic backdrop of African Savannah (‘North’ tour), the Tour program is as follows:
