World Changing Antarctica
After grabbing my unique Antarctica jacket the expedition started off with a talk and workshop from Wim Hof a world renowned cold exposure and breath expert. He prepared us for the Polar Plunge that would soon come. Off we where across the drake passage, well known for being some of the roughest water in the world. We got to experience first hand the “drake Shake” with light 5-7 metre waves ( although they felt like 10 metres ;) I am grateful to be sturdy and well centred so I had a strong resistance to the motion of it all. Lets just say the ship was very quite for those first 36 hours.
Finally with a sacred meditation and connection ceremony under our belt the first islands of the seventh continent came into view. This stirred the sea sick hibernators out of their rooms with the excitement of “land HO” and the absence of strong waves. Soon after came our first steps on land with a major penguin colony visit. The next 3-4 days would be one landing and one zodiac cruise daily. We visited an old whaling station with heaps of century old whale bones. Had zodiac cruises with humpback whales breaching the waters surface only 10 meters away! We visited an old abandoned research and airplane refuelling station that was still fully stocked in case of emergencies. Then in a magical moment while we where in a wide channel in the main 120 metre ship we came across a pod of about 30 orca whales!!! They where breaching the surface all around the ship for about 2 hours. The captain said he hasn’t seen something like that in years while he was doing doughnuts in this channel following the Wales around! The scenery was simply breath taking everywhere you looked, truly an untouched continent. I hope it stays this wild and rugged for centuries to come.
I have to describe what the energetic container of the ship was like. Imagine powerful artists, poets and deeply impactful space holders all performing and conducting ceremonies of connection and creativity daily. On top of this a ship full of young energetic adventurers ready to dive deep and explore the internal beauties of life as much as the external wonders we where currently exploring. If this powerful container wasn’t enough now imagine this, you couldn’t leave even if you wanted to you are on a ship, its a long swim back home! So you are committed to the experience no matter what, the transformation, healing and wonderful joy of this amazing experience! The connections I’ve made on this unique expedition will surely last a lifetime. I managed to get almost 20 interviews from all the creatives and adventurers. I am aggressively editing to get them out to you all I promise!
After one last zodiac ride In the most beautiful bay of the adventure with sadness and yet deep nourishing fulfillment we started the journey back across the drake. The first day was similarly rough to the initial crossing but the second was abnormally calm. We got super lucky with a “drake lake” on the way back guiding us in to Ushuaia. Celebrating a final dance party until the early hours of the rising we finished off the journey and disembarked. A great rainbow spread itself across Ushuaia as we entered the city. This rainbow was symbolic for the deep spiritual transformations that where activated on the expedition. My new friend Matias de Stefano, a deeply dedicated spiritual leader invited me on a grand finale hike within minutes of leaving the ship. This leads to a completed 12 year cycle and a global energetic activation in the centre of earth. If you have felt this shift at the beginning of this year and are interested for more please reach out to me, we can have a deeper conversation on the topic. Maybe even a spiritual activation of your own ;)
