The Most Epic Journey with Das Lyon that was challenging and rewarding at the same time. Thank you Das for making this journey possible and for being one kick-ass spiritual mentor! Thank you my friend.”

Gerrie Venter, Feb 2024 on the Mentorship Vision Quest.

A 12 month online private one-to-one mentorship program - starts any time you are ready! This mentorship is a spiritual and practical journey to empower you to know your purpose in life- what you are here to be and do, while you are on this beautiful Earth.

The Elemental Pathway: a structured 1:1 mentorship program.

The importance of mentorship

In this fast-changing age in which we are awakening, during the time of the 'false guru', it is hard to find a teacher and guide who walks the path with integrity.

A wise and true mentor is a most valuable friend to walk with on your way home to Self. Someone to guide and encourage you in the right way, in right thought, right action, and right living. A mentor who you are accountable to, who will challenge, guide and support you to be your most authentic self.

When anxiety, depression, anger, sadness and fear seem to dominate your feelings and thoughts, then your time to begin the Hero's Journey to healing has come.

When you need direction, clarity and focus, then our program will direct you toward this life goal.

When you have begun opening to the great mystery of Life and Death, to the wonder of the world and of Nature, then the time to walk the path with us has arrived.

Our online mentorship program creatively supports and empowers you to know your ‘calling’ or purpose in life- what you are here to be and do, while you are on this beautiful Earth.

The peak experience initiations that are on offer as part of the program ensure that you have the ritual power and experience to truly change and make it last.

The intention is for you to find clarity about how to transcend your limitations and to provide the tools you need to create a life worth living.

In preparing mentally and spiritually within your spiritual awakening, we guide you through the inner mystical path to your centre, providing structure, insight and feedback along the way.

Air, Earth, Water & Fire

Walk an elemental pathway to integrate the archetypal elements of Air, Water, Earth, Fire, and ultimately, Spirit, thus defining both your centre and your true direction on the compass of life.

The intention is for you to find clarity about how to transcend your limitations and to provide the tools you need to create a life worth living. We discover that we ourselves are moving, spiritual sites of the landscape, blessing the Earth with every step.

Investment: A four- part program of 3 months each priced at USD 475 (ZAR8880) per Element with optional, guided shamanic retreats available.

Ritual, ceremony & growth

Engage in performing of healing rituals and ceremonies to initiate into the mystery of each element on this nature inspired soul-progression program.

We believe in taking a client-centred approach to our online mentorship program, where we work collaboratively with our clients to identify their goals and develop a personalised plan for their continued growth.

Das knows the gift and the pain that suffering brings in one’s journey and rather than offering shallow platitudes he provides practical skills and tools that enable his mentees not just to endure challenges, but to extract meaningful growth from them."

Heal from anxiety & fear

When anxiety, depression, anger, sadness and fear seem to dominate your feelings and thoughts, then your time to begin the Hero's Journey to healing has come.

The elemental archetypes provide structure for us to create deeper meaning in our lives, and show us that we are never alone. We apply the proven templates of the Elders of the world to serious contemporary, psycho-spiritual health issues that many experience today.

Create powerful connections

When you have begun opening to the great mystery of Life and Death, to the wonder of the world and of Nature, then the time to walk the path with us has arrived.

We will create powerful connections with the elemental medicine wheel of Earth, Water, Fire and Air- the Sun and Moon, Sky and Planets. These outer friendships are reflected into our internal world, reinforcing our feeling of belonging right here, wherever we are on the mystical path.

Gain clarity & focus

When you need direction, clarity and focus, then our program will direct you toward this life goal.

We build on the relationship with your own inner world, with Nature, with your community and with every living being.

Integrating the elements draws us toward our own still centre, where we can clearly hear the voice of inner knowing. We see our true ‘self identity’, and identify the gifts that we have to offer, creating a life of vision and purpose.

Online mentorships with Das Lyon MA, BA(Hons), BTech.

Artist, architect, mentor and Ronin hostile environment VIP bodyguard, Das has created award-winning international design projects, driven forklift trucks and tractors, picked fruit, built houses, raced cars and motorcycles, and cleared unexploded bombs in the mangrove swamps of northern Australia.

He has played drums with the desert Bedouin, spear-hunted with Aboriginals, partied with royals and has languished in captivity courtesy of the Indian mafia.

Both traditional healer and herbalist, Das has written a popular new book on using and identifying South African medicinal plants. A mystic and adventurer, he also teaches self-defence and is a crew member of the local volunteer fire unit.

Lyon's own mission is to create beauty in the world. As director of the Sacred Grove his aim is to share that which works for you to become whole. To create your own healthy, beautiful inner and outer world. He primarily shares this wisdom through the Sacred Grove Mentorship Programs.

Das also works with a few of the world's best trail guides to facilitate personal and communal transformation in the deep wild places of Big 5 Africa.

His focus is to empower you to truly heal, energise, and become aware of your own inner guidance and truth- through tried and tested methods that really work.

At the Sacred Grove we share wild and yet structured experiences, knowledge, methods and wisdom to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.

Each step we take together is a prayer on this Earth.

Das shares teachings of a grounded, practical and yet mystical nature, providing clients with essential, life-affirming tools for personal growth.

Lyon personally seeks out the best mentors he can find in every art or science he approaches, to inform his own spiritual awakening process, such as in mythology, creative arts, herbalism, shamanism, integral psychology, close quarter combat, anthropology- and so understands the deep value of a reciprocal mentorship where both parties learn from the process.

Totally experiential, intimate and sensitive and MAGNIFICENT! I highly recommend this as one of the foundations for the New Earth we are all birthing together ."
