2nd International Conference Report

We offer deep gratitude to Valerie Morris, Judy Bekker, and Elaine Millin for hosting this rich event!

The 2nd International Wilderness Guides Conference opened on Monday the 13th of October, 2004.  Its venue was the Okkie Jooste Youth Camp outside of Stellenbosch in the beautiful wine country of South Africa's Cape Town region.  The Conference started with a powerful opening ceremony that was held outside near the stream that ran through the property.  Representatives from each country present, Austria, Canada, Ireland, Germany, New Zealand, South Africa, Switzerland, the U.K. and the U.S.A, invoked the blessings of their ancestors.  It closed with an invocational blessing ceremony performed by a ungaba from South Africa.
