Many people in the world are not free. Many find themselves enslaved to popular culture, exploitative commercialism, political and religious agendas designed to control the human spirit.
The 2025 Spirit of Freedom Tour to South Africa is designed to help you reconnect with your personal North Star and weave the threads of your story in a conscious and intentional way – because what you do, and how you do it, can change everything. Your liberation into the next cycle of your life depends on the depth of your interconnectedness with all of life. Are you ready?
The Spirit of Freedom Tour is an interfaith, intercultural, interwoven experience of wholeness in diversity. We are all part of the very fabric of life, and yet we are unique. Sovereign in our own world, in service to the whole.
Here is what we know. There comes a time in a person’s life when it is right for them to experience themselves in a different context. If this is such a time in your life, we invite you to consider joining us.
And here is a phrase that has become very significant for us. In the presence of …
In the presence of the natural world we experience ourselves differently.
In the presence of unfamiliar spiritual practices, we know our own divine connection anew.
In the presence of the White Lions we renew our commitment to the wellbeing of all of Life, and we reignite our personal LionHearted Leadership™.
In the presence of Africa, we absorb the radiant legacy of the Ancients and our future is illuminated.
