A few years ago, I was lost. As an entrepreneurial woman, fighting for my freedom, to make a living and an impact, I woke up and realized that “it” was gone.
“IT” was that fire – the passion that I had when I first started my entrepreneurial journey. I remember the morning that I had this realization, dealing with so many emotions… anger, frustration, fear, anxiety – maybe you can relate?
It didn’t happen overnight – it was slowly releasing over a long period of time, like a pinhole in your car’s tire… the air is leaking out until eventually, you go out to drive your car, and the tire is flat.
I was so wrapped up in my business and the busy-ness, that I forgot my why. I tried and tried to remember my why, but for some reason, I couldn’t get it back, and became more frightened that maybe I didn’t even have one in the first place…
So, being an African woman, I decided to go back to my roots in search of something...
something that would reconnect me with my why…
something that would help me regain perspective…
something that would help me find my path forward…
So, on December 12, 2017, I went home to Zimbabwe… and guess what? I FOUND “IT”
I reconnected with mother nature…
I reconnected with human evolution…
I reconnected with myself…
I found my why
AND a much, much bigger, new, and improved why as well.
This was truly an adventure of a lifetime. And my new why includes you.
I want to help other entrepreneurial women gain this clarity, this connection to their why and to mother nature that will help you grow, expand, and start moving down the path to the life of your dreams, as it has done for me, and many others.
So, I invite you to press pause… and to take a step outside of the “normal” day, and explore what might be possible with a different context.
For a limited time, you could also be a part of an exclusive small group of women from across the globe, who will once again reignite their passion, reconnect with their why, and gain more clarity under the clear blue sky, polluted only with black eagles soaring above.
I want to introduce you to the AFRICAN SAFARI MASTERMIND. This 7-night, 8-day experience will unleash those creative juices and help you re-discover opportunities you didn’t even know existed, and best of all, connect you with other entrepreneurial women.
Imagine this: waking up in the African jungle to a sumptuous breakfast, meditating to the sound of bellowing elephants and singing birds, letting your creative juices flow naturally, inspired by the tall giraffes walking by…
Then, go on daily nature walks and retreating back to your unique suite to watch the beautiful sunset.
What if it didn’t just stop at that experience?
What if you had the opportunity to share your business with other successful women around a fireplace, brainstorm and innovate with more ideas from like-minded women, and at the same time, create everlasting life-long friendships?
That is what this experience will do for you.
Meeting local African women, who are creating and thriving in nearly impossible conditions, will inspire, revive, renew, and restore that fire inside of you.
If these women are doing it, what ‘elephant’ is standing in your way?
In African culture, an elephant represents wisdom, longevity, and maternal strength. Surrounding yourself with other women and elephants is like standing on the shoulders of giants.
That feeling alone can make you unstoppable. After this trip, you will be unstoppable! Imagine how that could impact your business, your life, and your future.
Here’s how it works…
Shortly after your plane touches down in Cape Town your limousine will be waiting to take you to your Eco hotel.
You’ll spend a few days in this majestic city visiting the rare unseen places in Cape Town. This is not just a trip. We will brainstorm about your life and business and cultivate ideas on how to take it and your life to the next level while sipping wine at the world famous Stellenbosch wineries.
Your adventure continues as you go back in time and visit Mandela's home for 17 years and get the inspiration you need to have freedom in your own business and life?
We will then jet to Kruger National Park where you’ll experience the majestic big 5. In Africa, the big 5 are the lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and African buffalo.
After that, you’ll be whisked away to Victoria Falls, aka The Smoke that Thunders.
Here’s the thing, Zimbabwe is not just my home country.
It’s my place of creativity. When I see the resilience, the love, and the resourcefulness, I get revamped, and all my excuses seem to fly out the window.
To me, Zimbabwe is where I go to reset, and I can’t wait to show you how you can do that as well. You’ll probably see a few elephants roaming around before laying your head on your pillow, but don’t worry; they mind their own business and won’t bother you.
This trip would not be complete without traveling back in time over 2000 years, and explore the creativity of the San hunter-gatherers with rock art, and paint with the elephants. It doesn’t stop here because together with your “circle of friends’, we cruise along and visit the home to Africa’s largest elephant population.
One of my good friends, Ariana, summarized her experience like this:
"Everything changed for me in Africa. Traveling to Africa had been a dream of mine for 20 years and when I finally made the decision to make it happen, and I actually got to watch the fiery sunset and the giraffes running free, I realized that I could do ANYTHING I set my mind to. No excuses. No fear. I learned from the animals, from the land, and from the people. Sitting in a circle of women in their village, I realized what I needed in my life (a circle of sisters!) and went home and created it! I found the confidence, the courage, and the inspiration to be everything I'm capable of. Even though I was facing a heartbreaking divorce at the time, Africa helped me know there was something bigger than my situation, something bigger than me. As I watched the mighty Zambezi river pour over Victoria Falls I just wept… tears of joy, tears of belonging. Africa is home to all of us, ultimately. Coming home to Africa brought me home to my SELF. From there, everything is possible."
Of course, this experience wouldn’t be complete without getting our adrenaline high on the mighty Zambezi river, an experience Will Smith exclaimed as something he has been wanting to do for decades.
As we sit around the fires at night, be prepared to be inspired, encouraged, laugh, cry, give back, and share with your ‘circle of sisters’ on a business idea.
Hot seats, oxytocin, fire, lions – what could be a better way to get rejuvenated and your next big idea than from your fellow peers?
Not only will you create lifelong memories, but you will also create relationships with both the African women and your mastermind ‘friends’ that could 10x your life.
Creating an experience such as this is quite an undertaking, and I’ve used all of my connections, experience, and a tremendous amount of hard work to ensure you have a one-in-a-lifetime experience. Of course there is a significant investment for this luxurious and unique experience.
I MUST reserve this experience for the right friends who will make the most of this experience and contribute to it as well.
Since space is extremely limited, I must invite you to apply to be a part of this magical experience.
Click on the button below to complete the no-obligation, short survey.
We’ll schedule a short call to discuss the specifics, get to know one another, and answer all of your questions, and we can both determine if it’s a good fit.
Don’t delay - because it's first come, first served and I already have applicants...
You have a choice for the Spring 2025 and Fall 2025 retreat (6 spaces available). Once we have the group together we'll arrange exact dates based on everyone's collective availability so you can be sure that if you're accepted, you'll be able to come.
I hope to speak with you soon and have you join me and other AMAZING friends in Zimbabwe and South Africa.
See ya in Africa!
