Invitation to join Marlene online for her Live Meditation this Sunday.

Take a moment…
Breathe in… and come home to yourself.

What do you really want?

What are your dreams… your desires… the quiet truths that live beneath the noise?
So often we are clear on what we don’t want — yet uncertain about what our soul is truly calling us toward.

This meditation is an invitation to turn inward… to listen… to feel… and to remember.
Within each of us is a place where manifestation begins.
A place where clarity rises. A place where we gently align with what we long for.

This Sunday evening at 6:30pm (SAST), join me for a one-hour live meditation.
Together, we will enter the present moment — fully, consciously, with open hearts.

We will explore the sensations of our deepest desires:
✨ What do you want to feel?
✨ What do you want to experience?
✨ Where do you see yourself going?
✨ What reality is your soul ready to step into?

Let’s sit in that space together.
Let’s create it… embody it… breathe it into being.

Because when you live inside your dream — when you feel it in your body — you call it toward you.
You make space for it to become real.
Come and manifest what is waiting for you.
Your future begins in the stillness within.

A reminder of what it means to be fully present, in the moment from Marlene.

What does 'being a person' actually mean?

This thought popped into my mind while I was sitting watching some doves wandering around my lawn, looking for the last seeds I had thrown out for them earlier that morning.

Many will know that I had a dove called Sophie that lived with me for 12 years before she passed. I have a great affinity with birds especially doves.

This morning I observed these doves the same way I used to sit and watch Sophie. When the need came the doves flew up to the bird bath and drank some water. What was it that made them decide to do that? Was it a thought or their instinct? I recall watching Sophie, she was so alert, curious and observant.

I sat wondering if we with all our thoughts are really superior to Nature and animals. Often when I am making my nature spirit wands, I just craft away with little, to no thought. I just know what to put next, what colour etc. To feel, to tune into the wood I am working with. Was this what being human is meant to be? To follow our intuition? Is this what the doves were doing? Are they just ' being ', using 'no mind', just knowing what to do next, it comes naturally to them.

When did we start allowing our thoughts to run wild and lead us astray? Everything is information based these days. Do we as humans sit and not label anything? Like the wind, water we drink, the simple things? Our breath as we breathe in and out. Just experience what is, like the doves.

We have to unlearn the bad habits and the patterns we run. For 12 years when we were younger our minds were used against us – we were groomed to all behave a certain way. What if there was another way to be, to live? Would you be curious to find out?

I created a series of videos called' Capturing What People don’t Talk About ', energy, emotion and spirit. There are four episodes in the series that cover these subjects. After my life altering experience at the age of 38 I discovered a new way of being, a new way of existence. It has never left me. Through ‘dying’ to my old self, I found out what it actually means to be human.

Receive the first episode FREE… For those that want to take themselves to the next level and practise this inner awareness - I encourage you to sit quietly with these episodes and to discover what I found. A whole new world opened up. I want to share this with you – register online https://thevoiceofnature.net/how-to-be-human/

Join Marlene Live Online for her Ancient Forest meditation - register online and a link will be emailed to you for Sunday night.

I'm inviting you to sit with me and feel the essence of the Ancient Kokerboom forest in Namibia. The Meditation 🧘‍♂️ was recorded while sitting in the actual forest.

Join my Live Online recorded Meditation — From the Ancient Kokerboom Forest ✨
FREE - This Sunday, November 9, at 06:30 PM (SAST) for 60 minutes join me for a sacred online meditation as we draw wisdom from one of the world’s most ancient and awe-inspiring forests — the Kokerboom (Quiver Tree) Forest of Namibia.
These magnificent elders have stood for hundreds of years, rooted in stone and silence, thriving in the harshest desert landscape.

Together, we will connect to their timeless strength — learning to stand tall through life’s challenges, to find stillness amid the rocky ground, and to draw deep reserves of courage, balance, and centeredness.

Let the spirit of these wise beings remind you: even in barren places, beauty endures, and light always finds a way through. Come and have this unique experience.

🪷 Live Online Gathering — Sunday
Breathe. Ground. Remember your own resilience.
