Gratitude as Prayer
Exploring its Universality and Profound Impact on the Mind, Body, and Soul As a boy living in the Arabian Gulf I would lie awake at first light, listening hard in silent awe to the muezzin’s call to prayer. One by one, as far as I could hear, the neighbourhoods came awake to the first song of the day, each cascading, overlapping lullaby reaching a crescendo before fading into dawning bird song. One by one, minaret by minaret, falling silent once more, in a melodic time lapse. It was the authentic charm of the Orient, wrapped in ancient melodies and the curling, heavy blue smoke of scented myrrh. What this kind of early experience taught me is that to pray is to give. To return with the coin of emotion the song that came from Life. To give thanks with the deepest feeling in honour of our own and all of Life.

Late night music jam in the wilderness, Men's Rewilding Trail 2022, Parfuri, Kruger National Park.
Music and resonance are integral components to our healing work on the Sacred Grove wilderness programs. On this Men's Rewilding Trail we carried our instruments for the 7 day primitive trail bush walk, through the Parfuri private big 5 concession along the Limpopo and Luvuvu Rivers, on the borders of South Africa and Zimbabwe.

Das provided some deep insights for me to delve into before I entered my vision quest. These insights were the core that ran through the entire process. You held beautiful space and I will be forever grateful. Your comments before and after the quest were profound and sit with me still!"
