Gibb’s Farm

All traditional healing systems believe in the importance of keeping the body as clean of impurities as possible. However, the very act of moving through daily life affords us the opportunity of coming into contact with numerous impure foods, air, water, words and emotions. We all get too “full up” of toxicity from time to time. This is the breeding ground for disease and negative emotions. The Maasai have traditionally held a periodic cleansing and strengthening event called orpul. Typically, members of a community will retreat into the forest for up to one month, eating meat and drinking a medicinal soup that allows the body to integrate healthy proteins while eliminating all toxins. It is believed that one participates in orpul so that he or she can be strong in order to help the community. During your Personal Journey in Tanzania, we will construct an orpul-style event that honours tradition while taking into consideration your specific dietary and health requirements. You will return home feeling strong and clean, ready to take on life’s challenges. This is a wonderful event to engage in with a group of friends or colleagues and a very unique ‘team-building experience’.
