Keep your feet bare, your heart open,
and your spirit wild.
Welcome to Alive Eco-Journeys, where mental health and nature play.
We curate therapeutic adventures to foster a reconnection with our ecological self, the natural world, and those around us.
Our Philosophy
"When we let our self loose in nature we rediscover our wild self. This is called the ecological self.
That part of us that isn’t apart from nature. That part of us that is nature and has been this whole time. When we realize that we have been nature all this time, our take on how to do life begins to change. We start to see and embrace what nourishes and reject what depletes.
We begin to understand the beauty of reciprocity that - to be well - we must replenish that from which we have drawn and be replenished in what we have given.
And in rejoining this natural cycle we begin to acknowledge that our most peaceful existence lies within this sustaining interdependence. An exquisite harmony that patiently waits for us, and beckons us home."

So lovely to be back with colleagues in Victoria Falls. These falls are simply breathtaking and here we literally do have animals walking between the houses as the hotel is in a national park!
