In this our Odyssey Summer 2023/24 Edition # 244 we share the science of joy, what joy is and the unboundedness of joy. We explore conscious conservation as well spiritual and wellness travel, including a poignant and powerful personal experience in ‘The Africa I See’ account of self-liberation. We take you on powerful healing journeys and bring you face to face with imposter syndrome. We touch on the reality of mental health challenges at this time of year, how to reach out and how to support those who reach out to you.This edition is a gentle reminder that in the summer of our lives we say goodbye to a long, inwardly-focused time of self-reflection and open ourselves to receive the fiery energy of the sun, moving us forward, cleansing every fibre of our being. This season is a powerful time to shine, manifest dreams and to embrace spiritual transformation.
