Exploring the field of consciousness and the return to inner harmony through practical body-mindfuln

Dr Graham Mead is a South African-born medical doctor who has been exploring the field of consciousness and mind and the crucial link that intimate awareness of physiological feelings and other sensations on the body provides in liberating our ability to experience freedom and well-being, which he calls Aliveness, in every moment.
---
In 2003 he gave up conventional medical practice to directly pursue his increasingly pressing interest in the primary origin of disease and identifying what exactly liberates the expression of overall health and well being within an individual. A deep internal crisis followed shortly after and the ensuing inner journey led to an intimate exploration of breath work, movement, subtle energy therapy, meditation and the critical role of relationship in facilitating freedom of mind (memory) and body. A keen interest in subtle internal movement through long-standing martial arts training led to further exploration of the mind and ‘heart’ in movement and the impact of trauma and psychological conditioning on the physiology. A post-graduate study of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture followed, though ultimately it was through his clients that he made most of his discovery, seeing each as a message from life to help unlock insight that he sensed already existed within himself and others. An insistence on embodied self-awareness through practical, experiential insight of the body-mind as a dynamic, sensory phenomena with an innate capacity to thrive, inspires his current work.

This Parenting Workshop is for those seeking a more conscious, mindful approach to parenting. By understanding your child’s development alongside your own inner patterns, you’ll learn to respond to challenges with wisdom instead of reaction. It’s an invitation to parent with clarity, presence, and deeper connection-to nurture your children while growing yourself.
The workshop consists of 2 one-day modules, about 2 months apart. This allows time to apply some of the practices and approaches and discuss challenges and consequences at the follow-up session.

Please check the website in bio for details.

Open Body, Stable Mind

In this retreat we’ll be delving deeper into the relevance and practice of body awareness, freeing up the fascia and liberating qi, alongside mind strengthening practices and the cultivation of stillness.

A 6-day retreat is transformative and will enrich your practice significantly. Six full days with very little distraction and a peaceful setting in which to explore the mind and body relationship in depth. People who have attended long retreats (some many times), have found them to be particularly valuable, not only for the significant deepening of their practice, but also the community and support that develops amongst attendees.

If you are serious about the transformation of your mind and body, this retreat would be very useful on a yearly basis to maintain the intensity of focus often required for inner work. But most of all, the retreat is replenishing, interesting and fun…and the food is magical.

Anyone interested in attending or for further information, please contact Mandy at office@grahammead.com.

Last day riding through Hells Gate National Park on way to Masai Mara. Fantastic fun today and great way to end this unbelievable trip with its extraordinary scenery.
The End.

We camped on this mountain called Ololokwe in northern Kenya. The view was unbelievable at both sunset and sunrise. We were at the same height as the vultures you can see in the second video- hundreds of them, which is a sign of a healthy ecosystem.
Fascinating that the elephants climb this unusually steep slope too. We found a small black mamba on the way, which was promptly killed by the Samburu staff!
From the mountain we saw an access road to a pylon high up on another mountain- so we decided to ride it the next morning. We were initially stopped by a goat herder with an AK 47, but after checking our bags, he quickly relaxed and let us pass. The road was rough and clearly not well maintained…and suddenly there were camels- massive ones!
The fun ended in me having to tow Tauray to the nearest town to get his bike fixed. And yes that’s a couch on the little bike we passed later on.

White Water Rafting on the Nile! This was fun. You can choose mild or wild for every rapid and this determines how you approach the rapid and whether the boat flips or not. Obviously we chose wild.
We have left Uganda and are back in Kenya- avoiding being killed by buses and vans around the cities again as you can see.
‘Tenting’ at my friend Rob’s place with Tim Knight and enjoying a bird’s eye view of Mt Kenya (unfortunately cloudy today).

This was one of the most intimate, memorable and incredible experiences with an animal I have had on this trip (and ever). This little guy is only 2 weeks old and terribly curious, but you have to keep your distance because his 2 ton mother is very protective and very intimidating.
We are at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in Uganda where they are doing amazing work to protect White Rhinos and increase their numbers. The people working here are passionate, knowledgeable, kind and lovely. A truly unique experience.

Yesterday we marveled at the Nile River gushing through a 10m wide gorge at Murchison Falls in Murchison National Park. This is apparently the most powerful waterfall in the world.

Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda is one of the most picturesque national parks I have seen and the animals are abundant here.

We arrived having narrowly escaped an impressive electric storm and torrential rain, which forced us to take shelter in a nearby lodge. (This is the first time Tauray had seen proper lightning bolts and one of the videos captured a bolt)
What a lovely place. First night I woke up at 3.30am to elephants right outside the front porch of our bungalow and tonight we had hippos walking through the lodge grounds.

QE park is the only park that allows motorbikes to ride through it and we made good use of the opportunity. This morning as we rode out, two elephants blocked the road. We captured it, but you have to enlarge the video as the DJI makes everything look so far away and yet the elephants were no more than 25m from us and as always, somewhat intimidating. I could never get bored of observing animals in the wild. We saw waterbuck, Thompson gazelles, buffalo, elephant, warthogs, impala, duikers and many different birds. Waterbuck are in the video where we are walking to get breakfast at the restaurant. They are fluffy things and lovely to look at.

I added a photo of a sign where the name of a town is crossed out. This is common throughout East Africa; when you reach the end of a town there is simply a sign with the name crossed out- that’s that.

We entered Uganda and headed for Lake Bunyonyi on a very wet day. Everything is soaking wet, but the lake is exquisite. Lake Bunyonyi is about the same size as lake Taupo, but with a depth of 900m, it’s the third deepest lake in the world!

We took the wrong road to the lake thanks to Siri and despite being warned by a local that the road we were on had experienced significant rain damage and erosion. It was great fun though and we kept going until the road (eventually just a path) abruptly stopped.

The lake water is surprisingly clean and apparently drinkable. We stayed in a lovely little bungalow on the shore and were just awed by the stunning view. The local market is rich with sweet tomatoes, red onions, kumara, beans and various fruits. All the food you buy here is made fresh and tastes amazing. The last photo is of Desire making our food after arriving late the first night.
