Black Lion: Alive in the Wilderness

Wilderness guide Sicelo Mbatha shares lessons learnt from a lifetime`s intimate association with Africa`s wildest nature.`Black Lion` begins in rural South Africa where a deeply traumatic childhood experience – a cousin being dragged away by a crocodile – should have turned him against the surrounding wilderness. Instead, he was irresistibly drawn to it. As a volunteer at Imfolozi Nature Reserve, close encounters with animals taught him to `see` with his heart and thus began a spiritual awakening.Drawing from his Zulu culture and a yearning to better understand human`s relationship to nature, Sicelo has forged a new path to nature with an immersive, respectful and transformative way of being in the wilderness. As humanity hurtles into the anthropogenic 21st century, `Black Lion` is an urgent reminder of how much we need wilderness for our emotional and spiritual survival.”A brave account of a natural disaster, and of achieving reconciliation with the predatoriness of life.” Richard Mabey on Mbatha`s essay, `Letting Go`.
