Soul Safari

Marianne Verrijt Training en Coaching

‘The heart-shaped Africa is the emotional center of the world. Continents are as much metaphors as they are places. And a people is a collection of spiritual states of humanity that are as different in what they symbolize as lilies and roses and daffodils’ Ben Okri

The SoulSafari concept just came out of my pen. On Safari (travel in Swahili) in your soul, a journey with soul to the red earth. Kenya and the energy here, the way of life has brought me so much and I would like to share that. During SoulSafari, connection, ritual and community are central. A tagline we use is ‘no escape’. Because the journey to the spot does something to you. It is a big ritual, from the beginning to the end. ¬†2017 was edition 1 and it’s only growing. Now, in 2024, we are ready for edition 14. Perhaps you know the Europe in yourself, the America in yourself, you have encountered the Asia in yourself. Now it’s time for us to discover the Africa in you. And to that end I invite you to come to Kenya, Karibu Kenya.

Close your eyes and wonder…
  • What would it be like if you could focus on yourself for 6 days.
  • What would it be like to follow a retreat in nature, in dance with the elements, where the entire journey is a great ritual
  • What would it be like to be able to watch your process with your feet on the red earth, supported by Mama Africa.
  • What would it be like if you could add the wisdom of Kenyan guest trainers, such as storytelling, ubuntu, breathing and dance, to your backpack and that would give an extra dimension to your process?
  • What would it be like to experience systemic work on a continent where ancestors are part of daily life.
  • What would it be like to immediately integrate what you experience, through the good balance between travel, ritual and community.
  • What would it be like to travel to 2 different places during this retreat and thereby relate to what is (not) there.
  • What would it be like?
Stand tall on the shoulders of your ancestors

This 6-day trip to Kenya with your bare feet on the red earth takes you straight to your core. Where you live within yourself. Where your soul resides.

Based on African principles, we take you on SoulSafari where you can make contact with the Africa in you through: your ancestors, contact with nature, ubuntu principles, African storytelling and dance, your breath, the elements.

Our Kenyan team takes you on a journey to what you can see, experience and integrate.

We take you to a beautiful place in the middle of nature where the red earth supports you.

next (Systemic) SoulSafari is scheduled from Monday April 28 to Saturday May 3, 2025 and is in co-creation with Peter Dalmeijer and Yvonne Stams of Vidarte (www.vidarte.nl)
