AUTUMN EQUINOX CREATIVITY GATHERING
FETCH YOUR LIFE FOUNDATION presents the AUTUMN EQUINOX CREATIVITY GATHERING.
A weekend programme of guided artistic exercises, reflections and activities - both collective and in solitude - hosted in the countryside oasis of FARMHOUSE58 in the Cradle of Humankind.
Facilitated by Msaki (art, visual journaling, song), Khnysa (breathwork), Keith Kunene (Life By Design), Paige (Mind Body Voice Coach) & Lesego Mapeka (Epic Hikes).
FETCH YOUR LIFE is focused on discovering ways to encourage people to move towards their purpose, aligning consciousness and creativity, with the hope of seeing people thrive in their true nature as creative, dynamic and expansive beings, directly connected to source.

Keith Kunene
Lesego Mapeka
Exploring the connection between the conscious & subconscious mind, and the physical body, which propels us to move through space, to ultimately fetch our lives with purpose. Through two engaging talks and hands-on worksheets, the aim is to amplify awareness by delving into life-transforming methods of self-connection, nurturing a life lived from the core outward, thereby igniting a desire for results that are deeply intertwined with one’s purpose.
KEITH is a LIFE DESIGNER on a mission to help self enterprising humans create a life by design through purpose, play, and prosperity. As a transformation agent, Keith is methodical in revealing the concealed divine potential within us, igniting human possibility through paradigm design, equipping individuals with the tools to carve out an internal landscape conducive to self-creation no matter what is happening outside.
Trained by the Proctor Gallagher Institute, Keith embraces the art of Thinking Into Results through the mentorship and guidance of Haley Carlson. Keith’s journey continues, centered on personal growth and helping others forge lives filled with intention and fulfilment.
Lesego Mapeka founded EPIC HIKES, a business focused on conscious and transformative hiking experiences in Africa.
His journey began when he found himself stressed and at risk of depression, and he discovered that hiking and being outdoors helped him cope. He soon started hiking every weekend and during the week, seeking out hidden gems and meeting like-minded individuals on the trails. This led him to organise weekend getaways with friends and EPIC HIKES was born.
EPIC HIKES is unique because it focuses on encouraging guests to connect with themselves, others, and nature in a mindful and meaningful way. The hikes have been described as a safe space where people from all walks of life can find a space between an exhale and an inhale, gazing at a vista or looking inwards for a brief and quiet moment in nature.
