Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong. - Mandy Hale
We spend the first eleven days of the Lowveld Trai We spend the first eleven days of the Lowveld Trails Co. Apprentice Trails Guide Course at a rustic tented camp on the Olifants River in Balule Private #Nature Reserve. Here we commence with the Advanced Rifle Handling (ARH) theory, training and assessment components. We also start with introductory walks during which candidates may begin logging walking hours and dangerous #game encounters towards the qualification. The majority of the Trails Guide theory will be covered during this phase of the course.
Hello, my name is Julie. I am a #wife, #mother, # Hello, my name is Julie. I am a #wife, #mother, #conservationist and Primitive Trails Guide. The paths that lead to becoming a Primitive Trails Guide are varied, much like the animal paths that converge at a water point at the end of a long dry season. The driving force behind my journey is passion and desire. A passion for wild spaces and a desire to reconnect with our natural habitat. Spending time out on Trail makes me feel more complete. My journey is weaved through the great human pilgrimage I call life. Along the way I have nurtured relationships which now manifest physically as spouse and mother. I understand love. This too makes me feel more complete. Unfortunately, this profession does not allow us to spend time with all of the things that complete us. We may only be with one, at the expense of the others. It’s a trapeze act as I try to balance a healthy family life with a compelling passion. If I do not nurture all equally, one will fade away and an intrinsic part of me will be lost. As a female Trails Guide, I recognized that there would be much sacrifice when I choose the path of motherhood. Seven years along this path I was granted the opportunity to quench my thirst once again. While meandering through the wild landscape, my soul sang and words bubbled up from a place long #dormant. It was a Homecoming; Drink deep my soul from the cup of the wilderness. Rest your weary eyes. Breath. In. Out. In. Out. Inhale the peace of the now. Exhale the burdens of tomorrow. Trace the curve of the #buffalo #thorn. Remember. Listen. The Honeyguide calls.

"Our sensitivity to #Nature, and our humility within it, are essential to our physical and #spiritual survival. Spending time in Nature, particularly in Wilderness, can pose physical dangers, but rejecting Nature because of those risks is a greater gamble".
