She works with the Himalayan singing bowls, Indian bamboo flute (bansuri), African kalimba, rattles, Vietnamese dragon gong, and voice as tools of vibrational medicine. She also loves to teach Pranayama, mindfulness in every moment, various forms of meditation and Hatha yoga. She works with the earth energy as guide and channel, and will connect with you from a deep space of love.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">When she is not hiking or sitting on a rock meditating, Narissa can be found scribbling away in nooks and crannies for her books and blog, nomadgirltales.com, or gathering conscious community in the forest for sharing of wisdom and collective awakening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">She has been living independent of mainstream norms for 6 years and has never looked back.

Staying consistent with these practices has helped her discover a whole lot including her purpose&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">In 2020 she chose to quit her corporate job and move back to Kenya to start a purpose-led travel company. She founded Travel4Purpose with the aim to use travel as a force for good to create a positive impact. She now genuinely wakes up with a smile every single day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">Sham is also a meditation and mindfulness practitioner who has completed her training in Goa, India. Sham&#8217;s gift to you will focus on the following themes: mindfulness, play and stepping into the unknown. During the retreat she&#8217;ll dive deep into facilitating meditations to connect with nature, mindful play to awaken your inner child and host workshops designed to elevate self-awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">Sharing these practices with others and noticing the significant positive impact it has on lives gives her so much joy, hence why she feels so honoured to organise and co-host this incredibly magical retreat!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Location: Emboo River Camp<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">Hidden in a forest along a river in the heart of Kenya&#8217;s Maasai Mara, lies Emboo River Camp.

The safaris are not only carbon-neutral, but take it a step further to be carbon-negative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">At Emboo River you will enjoy a unique experience of luxury in the heart of raw, pristine nature &#8211;
