A JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY, CULTURAL RECONNECTION, AND ANCESTRAL HEALING.

Nature is Balm (v): the act of using travel to reconnect with the world and one’s self for healing and discovery.

Through Nature is Balm, I fostered a deeper connection to God, strengthened my understanding and practice in self-love, and learned to give grace and love to those I encounter along the way. My intention is to share this path of self-discovery and healing with you through immersive cultural experiences.

Nandi actively participating in various outdoor pursuits.

I want to help you broaden your horizons, deepen your connection to self, and learn about your history and culture. I believe that exposure and immersion in nature, both physical and introspective, can be incredibly healing. And I want you to experience that too!

Disconnection from Roots

Many in the African diaspora feel disconnected from their ancestral roots, history, and culture. This can lead to a sense of longing and a lack of identity and belonging.

Lack of Community

There can be a lack of community and understanding for those seeking to explore their identity and cultural heritage. This can lead to feelings of isolation in their journeys.

Desire for Healing

Many in the diaspora seek healing from historical trauma and personal challenges. They may feel the need for introspective healing but lack the tools to do so.

Fear and Uncertainty

Traveling to unfamiliar places can be daunting, especially when traveling to a location with no direct personal connection. Many may feel fear due to safety concerns or lack of knowledge.

  • "The most impactful moment was when I was on the small boat leaving Kunta Kinteh Island. I had an overwhelming feeling to pray as I cried for all the souls that felt it best to jump ship, those who died on the voyage, and for all those who endured the unthinkable treatment after being captured and sold."

    - Veronica G.

  • "This travel experience opened my eyes on how living in Africa is a different kind of beauty and liberation."

    - Rene D.

  • "The time I spent in Senegal and The Gambia was magical in the sense that time didn’t go by too slow or too fast. It was almost as if time stood still. My experience felt as if God was covering us and had His guiding hand of protection, which caused things to work out in our favor."

    - Rene D.

  • "My time in Africa was peaceful, introspective, informative, eye opening, educational, and a feeling of being suspended in time."
