I personally invest so much of my mind’s capacity in modelling future scenarios that range in probability. While I’m driving, in the shower, before and after phone calls, preparing for meetings, carrying out tasks, briefing and debriefing, drafting emails or reports. It’s constant. It’s important too, so I believe. And then I also invest in experiences like this. Movement in powerful faraway landscapes, stopping the whirligig to share real food lovingly prepared over fire chatting with great people without agendas. Eye contact, listening, contributing, laughing. Meaningful moments. Unforgettable times. Sleeping out here is special too - it’s all about allowing Mother Earth to hold you for the night. The big re-charge. Well, these things are also important. Essential, in my view. I’m not modelling scenarios when immersed in experiences like these. I’m back in my body. I’m present and it feels good. It’s important to me and I need it. My true luxury.
The Great Glenorchy Alpine Base Camp, we offer a range of life lengthening (surely), New Zealand Southern Alp safari packages for small private groups with normal everyday fitness. You do not require any experience. We help with your pack-lists and everything else. Family friendly. Corporate friendly. Honeymoon friendly. Book club friendly. Reunion friendly. Anniversary friendly. Our range of experiences have two primary parts: 1) they all include Base Camp’s incredible wood-fire slow cooked food experiences with oodles of other niceties, comforts and night(s) in our cosy timber huts, & 2) the wild nature part of your safari with us includes heavy canvas, more great fire-cooked food and a surprisingly comfy night ‘hot tenting’ in Mother Earth’s safe embrace.
