About the Tour: Why Freedom?
Many people in the world are not free. Many find themselves enslaved to popular culture, exploitative commercialism, political and religious agendas designed to control the human spirit.
The 2025 Spirit of Freedom Tour to South Africa is designed to help you reconnect with your personal North Star and weave the threads of your story in a conscious and intentional way – because what you do, and how you do it, can change everything. Your liberation into the next cycle of your life depends on the depth of your interconnectedness with all of life. Are you ready?
The Spirit of Freedom Tour is an interfaith, intercultural, interwoven experience of wholeness in diversity. We are all part of the very fabric of life, and yet we are unique. Sovereign in our own world, in service to the whole.
Here is what we know. There comes a time in a person’s life when it is right for them to experience themselves in a different context. If this is such a time in your life, we invite you to consider joining us.
And here is a phrase that has become very significant for us. In the presence of …
In the presence of the natural world we experience ourselves differently.
In the presence of unfamiliar spiritual practices, we know our own divine connection anew.
In the presence of the White Lions we renew our commitment to the wellbeing of all of Life, and we reignite our personal LionHearted Leadership™.
In the presence of Africa, we absorb the radiant legacy of the Ancients and our future is illuminated.

Partner Endorsements
From Alderman Felicity Purchase, Speaker of the City of Cape Town:
The City of Cape Town proudly extends its unwavering support to the interfaith
community, recognizing the invaluable role it plays in fostering a culture of inclusivity and
compassion.
It is truly encouraging to witness individuals from diverse faith backgrounds uniting with a
shared purpose, demonstrating that our differences can serve as a foundation for
collaborative efforts aimed at promoting peace, tolerance and understanding.
We wholeheartedly welcome our interfaith pilgrims to our vibrant city; a place where
diverse beliefs and traditions can coexist harmoniously, and we are resolute in our belief
that the willingness to engage in meaningful dialogue and share experiences within an
atmosphere of friendly inquiry, is essential for building lasting relationships and nurturing a
deeper understanding among communities.
Together, we can cultivate an environment that celebrates the rich tapestry of our
respective faiths and encourages the values of respect, empathy, and cooperation.
From Linda Tucker, Keeper of the White Lions, Founder and CEO of the Global White Lion Protection Trust and the Linda Tucker Foundation
The Global White Lion Protection Trust and its Founder, Linda Tucker, look forward to welcoming you to the White Lion Heartlands: a Sacred Natural Site in the epicentre of the UNESCO Kruger-to-Canyons Biosphere.
Since our founder lioness, Marah, was freed from a heinous captive breeding camp in 2004, our project has carefully managed and integrated four separate White and Golden Lion prides – with Marah’s lineage flourishing to the fourth generation in their ancestral homelands.
What the Lions in our project have illustrated over a period of over two decades is that when the true Kings and Queens of Nature are free to govern their ecosystem, all life thrives. This is the crystalline message for humanity at our time of intersectional crisis: we must each gain the responsibility of true, service-based leadership, adhering to the Solar Logos (or Laws of Nature), if we hope to achieve true freedom for all who make up the Earth Community.
From Their Royal Highnesses King Eldridge and Queen Rebecca Como of the Nama Royal House

The Nama Kingdom, though scarred by a history of social injustices, proudly embraces its cultural heritage and extends a hand of unity to all. Our rich history, intertwined with the Khoisan legacy, is vividly preserved on Robben Island, in the Castle of Good Hope and in various museums across South Africa.
During your visit you will experience the vibrant spirit of our people, forged through struggles and triumphs. We’ll delve into the complexities of our past, celebrating the triumph of the human spirit and the unwavering pursuit of freedom.
