About Your Journey

Step off the grid and into the wild heart of Africa.

This seven day journey is an invitation to remember your primal nature, where comfort meets wilderness and stillness awakens the soul.

Botswana holds an ancient pulse that stirs emotion, reflection and a deep sense of presence. Surrounded by the raw freedom of elephants, zebras, lions and endless sky, you begin to soften into a pace that feels instinctive, honest and alive.

We begin at Moela Safari Lodge, a conservation sanctuary created by David Dugmore. Every stay supports wildlife corridors, elephant water access and drought relief for the great zebra migration. After three nights of immersion in Moela’s land and rhythm, we fly into the Northern Okavango Delta and settle into Karangoma, a remote camp where the silence is profound and the wilderness untouched. Here, mokoro rides, walking safaris, boating and starlit nights open a deeper connection to nature and to yourself.

This retreat blends yoga, breathwork and somatic practices with meaningful wildlife experiences and conservation impact. It is a journey designed to bring you back to presence, purpose and the natural freedom that lives within you.

Satya Glo

A global healing visionary, Gloria Quezada, known as Satya Glo, is a pioneer in intuitive bodywork, seamlessly blending ancient wisdom with modern techniques. With a lifetime dedicated to exploring and mastering diverse healing modalities, she has become a trusted guide on the path to holistic well-being.

Her insatiable quest for transformative healing practices has led her across the world, where she immersed herself in indigenous traditions and cutting-edge therapies. Now based in the heart of Tulum, Mexico, she has created a sanctuary devoted to preserving ancestral medicine and offering profound, integrative healing experiences.

Her passion for conservation and ancestral knowledge began at the age of six. Growing up in Washington, D.C., with access to the National Geographic headquarters, she was deeply inspired by the fearless spirit of Jane Goodall—a woman whose pioneering work and devotion to the natural world ignited a lifelong commitment to healing, preservation, and conscious living.

Satya Glo continues to weave these inspirations into every aspect of her work, guiding others to reconnect with the wisdom of the Earth and the essence of their own inner light

Pablo Jivam

A guide in spiritual transformation, Pablo Jivam is a pioneer in integrative healing who bridges ancient yogic science with contemporary somatic wisdom. With more than fifteen years devoted to mastering disciplines such as Tantra Yoga, Kriya Yoga, Ayurveda, Prana Vidya, Reiki and energetic bodywork, he has become a trusted mentor for those seeking profound inner change.

His journey began after leaving a successful career in luxury branding in his mid twenties, when a life-altering awakening propelled him to sell everything he owned and embark on a nomadic pilgrimage across Asia. Immersed in monasteries, healing centers and traditional lineages, he cultivated a deep understanding of the mind, body and subtle energy systems.

Now based between Mexico City and the world, Pablo has created a sanctuary devoted to awakening human potential and restoring harmony through movement, breath, stillness and touch. His work carries the precision of a disciplined practitioner and the intuition of someone who has lived every layer of the practices he shares.

A passionate advocate for nature, conservation and conscious living, Pablo weaves ancient lineages with modern awareness, guiding others to reconnect with their primal essence, the intelligence of the breath and the wisdom of the Earth. His presence invites transformation, clarity and a return to the truth that lives within us all.
