African Healing and Travel

|
“Inward Bound Healing Journeys”
Led by David Cumes, M.D.
|
 |
Dave was born and raised in South Africa and has been mining ancient African wisdom
for contemporary ideas on healing for some time. He offers trips to Tshisimane
indigenous healing center in South Africa. The groups are small, highly compatible and the rich inward
experience focused around African healing wisdom is an added benefit to a superb outward adventure.
You will not only experience the magic of the bush and its wildlife but will get to feel the extraordinary
cultural and spiritual depth that is Africa.
|
| Tshisimane founded by Dave in 2002 comprises 3000 acres in the Soutpansberg mountains
just to the south of this horseshoe. Inward Bound will explore this land, its peoples, their culture,
their healers, their crafts and the wildlife. |
