We run a deep immersion for emerging African leaders, change makers and elders. It became fondly known as the “Botswana Experience” as the process takes place in the heart of the Botswana wilderness. Siyama Homestead is an ancestral lodge, and home to traditional doctors Colin & Niall Campbell, who grew up in the region.
With Nature as the primary teacher, this is weeklong process to reconnect with their traditional cultures and with Africa’s diverse Earth-centred identity.
Through the process participants come to question and reflect on the impact of the colonial process, globalisation and the ‘development’ imposed upon Africa. Together they seek to find ways to revive Africa’s richly diverse heritage as the basis from which to build a viable, resilient future. You can find out more about the experience and its impact on former participants by watching A Story Worth Remembering, narrated by Hugh Quarshie.
The Botswana Experience is now also part of the three-year Earth Jurisprudence training course.
