Perhaps, another warm winter like the one we are experiencing currently will be enough for people to really understand that the earth is truly changing in fromnt of our eyes and that there terrifying thoughts are real possibilities.

As a life and business coach myself, I try to do similar things - getting people present to their current situation, clearing the fear and obstacles so they can create a vision of what they really want and then moving toward that vision one step at a time.

Perhaps the earth needs a more clearly defined vision? Something people can live towards, instead of it just being fear of consequence. I’m not sure if it is powerful or compelling enough to work. But perhaps worth a try?

Thank you for your comment re this website. Your feeling of being compelled to contact me across the world (I live in South Africa) is truly amazing. I have no idea why this connection should have been made but if you are interested, I can post a copy of the book to you.

Thank you again,
Best wishes,

Thank you so much for your comment. I have no idea why you should have felt compelled to contact me - unless you are interested (as I am) in saving the world!! Seriously though your comment was amazing!!! My book is about global survival - survival of the planet, survival of humankind and survival of the other species with which we share worldspace. If you are interested, I can post you a copy of the book, which may explain your unbelievable feeling of needing to contact me across the world (I live in South Africa).

Thank you again.
Best wishes,

With more than 51 years of dedicated service to conservation, Dr Player is a man who has always been ahead of his time. A deeply thoughtful man, Dr Player was one of the first thought leaders to recognize the importance of wilderness to the human soul, pioneering trails through the South African wilderness for children of all races, colours and creeds at a time when South Africa’s apartheid policies were making it a political pariah in most of the world. A dedicated Jungian; he is a “doer” also pioneering the Duzi Canoe Marathon, which in time has become one of the most important events on the South African canoeing calendar.

Dr Player believes that the establishment of wilderness as a philosophical concept and practical reality is a most important conservation milestone. He believes that “without a combination of the spiritual and the scientific understanding of nature, we will be unable to live in a sense of harmony with this planet, either personally or collectively, and wilderness is the key to this understanding because it enables us to get to learn about our inner natures, our inscapes, to find a way to the path of living with the world”.

As the most beloved and respected environmental leader in southern Africa Dr Player has a great many demands on his time, however he graciously found space in his busy schedule to invite me to breakfast with him on a cold Johannesburg winter morning in order for us to meet and get to know each other as a preamble to the possibility of him writing a Foreword for my book. He was a most genial and considerate host instantly putting me at ease. Dr Player took the task of writing the Foreword very seriously, carefully reading through the manuscript. He is not a man to suffer fools gladly and when he consented to write the Foreword I felt that I had achieved my own important milestone in the creation of this book.

Thank you Dr Player for leading the way.
