Spirit of the Wild

The Spirit of the Wild is a profound personal and leadership skills development program that re-wilds and reconnects participants with the natural environment.  In the 21st century, many of us have lost this connection, which is the lifeline to our shared humanity, our collective well-being and the achievement of our full potential. It is a wildlife, guiding and leadership experience that awakens each participant’s pathways of knowledge, belonging and purpose. 

“The Spirit of the Wild leads to a revaluation of our personal relationship with nature and our place as humans in this unique ecosystem we call Earth”

~ Princess Irene van Lippe-Biesterfeld (Founder of Bergplaas Nature Reserve and Spirit of the Wild)

"On the Spirit of the Wild progamme I felt as if my journey to live a better life is starting. I learnt about respect, value, life and its obstacles and how to move forward." 

~ Melisizwe Ntombana (Participant)
