A RITE OF PASSAGE

MY TIME WITH JOBI IN THE WATER WAS INVALUABLE IN RECONNECTING WITH MY SPIRITUAL SELF AND SETTING AN INTENTION FOR THE NEXT YEAR. GETTING OUT THERE FELT LIKE A PASSAGE AND COMING BACK IN I WAS MORE CONNECTED TO MYSELF THAN I HAD BEEN IN QUITE A WHILE.

- Blake Mycoskie | Founder TOMS Shoes

DEEP GRATITUDE

DEEP GRATITUDE FOR THIS WOMAN JOBI MANSON WHO LED OUR RETREATMENT GUESTS INTO THE WATER EACH AFTERNOON FOR SOUL WORK IN THE OCEAN. THERE’S REALLY NO WAY TO DESCRIBE WHAT SHE DOES. SURE, MEDITATION. YEAH, VISUALIZATION. TECHNICALLY PADDLE-BOARDING. BUT COMBINED WITH HER GIFT OF CHANNELLING, SHE IS AWAKENING THE WATER, THE ANIMAL, THE SPIRIT WITHIN YOU. THANK YOU SĒFARI FOR TAKING “THE RETREATMENT” TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

- Natalie Kuhn | VP of The Class by Taryn Toomey

FORCE OF NATURE

SOME PEOPLE ARE MADE BY THE SUN, THE WIND, THE WATER. THEY SHINE AND FLOW THROUGH THE MAN MADE WORLD AND REMIND IT OF WHAT. IS. BIGGER. JOBI IS LIKE THAT.

- Jedidah Jenkins | Creative Director of Wilderness Magazine, Writer

DEEPER, FASTER

I HAVE DONE PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY AND MEDITATION, TRAUMA HEALING. THIS PRACTICE BROUGHT CLARITY AND HEALING, PEACE WITH AND UNDERSTANDING OF SELF THROUGH AN IMMERSIVE AND RELATIVELY SHORT EXPERIENCE. INSTEAD OF THERAPY WHICH IS DONE IN 45 MINUTE INCREMENTS AND GETS CUT OFF. THIS BRINGS TOGETHER NUMEROUS MODALITIES - FROM MEDITATION, TO VISUALIZATION, PAST EXPERIENCES, AND CURRENT FEARS, SELF REFLECTION, ELEMENTS AND SIGNS, ASTROLOGY, NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS TO “SPEED UP” THE SELF-DISCOVERY PROCESS. I COULD GO DEEPER, FASTER, AND THE MODALITIES BUILT UPON EACH OTHER REINFORCING THE MESSAGE FROM SELF, THE TEACHER, AND FROM NATURE.

BEAUTIFUL TRANQUILITY

IN A WORLD OF INCESSANT ACTIVITY, IT’S BECOME INCREASINGLY VITAL TO UNPLUG. SUCH IS THE BEAUTIFUL TRANQUILITY EXPERIENCED DURING A SEFARI OUTING. THE COMBINATION OF MOTHER NATURE’S WOMB AND JOBI’S HEART INSPIRES YOU TO LET GO, REUNITE WITH YOUR ESSENCE, AND ONCE AGAIN FEEL TOTALLY AT PEACE.

- Peter Crone | The Mind Architect

illumination for the mind

GOING ON SEFARI WITH JOBI IS LIKE TAKING A DEEP DIVE INTO THE UNCONSCIOUS WHERE YOU’RE MET BY AN OCEAN OF SYMBOLIC ANIMAL AND SPIRIT GUIDES. HER EASE AND GRACE IN THE WATER MAKES YOU FEEL CALM, RELAXED AND AT HOME IN THE SEA. THE INNER / OUTER JOURNEY IS PURE MAGIC - AN ELIXIR FOR YOUR SENSES, ILLUMINATION FOR YOUR MIND AND MEDICINE FOR YOUR SOUL.

- Barb Groth | Founder of The Nomadic School of Wonder

PATTERNS AND ROOTS

WORKING WITH JOBI IS BOTH DEEP AND FUN. YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE JOINING A SPECIALIST ARCHAEOLOGY TEAM - FOCUSED ON EXCAVATING YOU. FROM GOING OUT INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN AND EXPERIENCING WATER AS LIFE, TO IDENTIFYING CIRCUMSTANCE, PATTERNS AND ROOTS, SHE HELPS YOU ROADMAP WHERE YOU'VE BEEN, TO SHOW YOU THE LIMITLESS OPPORTUNITIES OF WHERE YOU CAN GO, RIGHT FROM THE SYMBOLOGY OF YOUR VERY OWN SOUL. SHE HAS A RARE TALENT TO SEE AND UNEARTH HOW SYMBOLS, PSYCHOLOGY AND NATURE CONVERGE TO REFLECT LIFE.

- Mel Nahas | Founder of The Conscious City Guide

A SENSE OF SIMPLICITY

I FELT MUCH LIGHTER AND FREER IN MY BODY AND A MASSIVE RELEASE OF TENSION THROUGHOUT MY SYSTEM. THE PROCESS WAS A GREAT STABILIZER OF A BIG STATE SHIFT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. I WALKED AWAY FEELING CLEAR AND A SENSE OF SIMPLICITY, THAT HAS STUCK. THE ENERGETIC CONNECTION TO THE SEA WAS CRAZY BIG. IT WAS A POIGNANT FRUITION EXPERIENCE THAT CAME AT EXACTLY THE RIGHT TIME.

- Dan Doty | Founder of Evryman

swaying, flowing connection

I THOUGHT ABOUT THE INTIMACY OF THIS EXPERIENCE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ON ZOOM WITH VIDEO OFF/MUTE. STRIPPED NAKED, IN YOUR BATH TUB WHILE ON ZOOM WAS NEW AND CREATED A STRONGER FEELING OF CONNECTION. I REMEMBERED HOW I FELT, SWAYING IN THE WATER, WHEN YOU CONNECTED IT WITH MY FEELINGS OF DANCE AND SONG. I ARRIVED TO A STATE OF FLOW, I FELT YOUR PASSION AND ENERGY RESTORING ME TO HEALTH.

- Geetika Agrawal | Founder & CEO, VAWAA

aligned vision

OUR RETREAT DAY WITH SĒFARI PROVIDED A CREATIVE SPACE TO DISCOVER OUR GIFTS, ENHANCE OUR TEAM COMMUNICATION, AND ALIGN ON A VISION. JOBI’S NATURAL ABILITY FOR FACILITATION AND COMMUNICATION, CREATED AN IMMEDIATE SENSE OF COMFORT WITH MY TEAM AND HELPED GUIDE US IN A BREAKTHROUGH BRAND VISION BRAINSTORM. WE CAME BACK FROM OUR EXPERIENCE REFRESHED, AND WERE IMMEDIATELY ABLE TO LAND ON A BRAND MISSION THAT WE ALL FEEL ALIGNED AND CONNECTED TO.

- Sashee Chandra | Founder & CEO, Tea Drops

WATER HELPED ME INTEGRATE

FLOATING WITH JOBI BROUGHT A SURPRISING DEPTH AND CLARITY TO MY VISION. I’M SOMEONE WHO SPENDS A LOT OF TIME THINKING AND TALKING ABOUT THE LIFE I AM CREATING, BUT THE EXPERIENCES OF BEING GUIDED THROUGH A POWERFUL VISUALIZATION ON WATER PHYSICALIZED THE PROCESS MAKING IT EASIER TO ACTUALLY INTEGRATE.

- Allison Kunath | Artist

BALANCE HEAD & HEART

AS A CREATIVE, I TEND TO SIT IN MOMENTS OF DARKNESS, WHICH IS WHERE I FIND LIGHT AND MOVE FORWARD WITH MOST OF MY NEW VISION IN WORK. AS IMPORTANT AS THAT PROCESS IS, IT CAN BE AN UNEASY PERIOD OF TIME. AFTER LONG CREATIVE PERIODS I OFTEN SEEK SUPPORT IN THE FORM OF CONSCIOUS AWAKENING OR GUIDANCE IN INTRICATE WAYS. WHAT I PERSONALLY FOUND WITH THIS EXPERIENCE — IS I LEFT WITH THE MUCH NEEDED TOOLS TO MANAGE BALANCE BETWEEN MY HEART, HEAD, AND PHYSICAL STATE. THESE TOOLS ARE NOW PARAMOUNT TO ME IN MOVING FORWARD NOT ONLY WITH MY CREATIVITY, BUT LIFE IN GENERAL. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY RECCOMEND SEFARI GUIDED BY JOBI MANSON.

- Matt Draper | World renknown underwater photographer, artist

DIVING INTO THE HEART

I’M JUST GOING TO SAY, I AM THE WORST AT ASKING FOR HELP. IT TOOK A WHOLE LOT OF HURT RECENTLY FOR ME TO SEE HOW MUCH I RIDE ON MY ENDURANCE WHEN LIFE HAS ME IN THE SPIN CYCLE. BUT THIS WOMAN WASN’T HAVING IT. BORN ON THE SAME DAY AS ME, THERE ARE NO WORDS FOR HOW GRATEFUL I AM SHE COULD SEE RIGHT INTO MY HEAR AND KNEW I WAS HOLDING IT TIGHT. CLOTHES OFF, WETSUITS ON. I FELT BETTER THE MINUTE MY FEET HIT THE SAND. WE PADDLED OUT INTO THE GLASSY SEA AND SHE SAID, “LAY DOWN. CLOSE YOUR EYES.” SHE WHISPERED UNTIL MY BREATH WAS RIGHT AND HEART WAS FREE. “OPEN YOUR EYES,” SHE SAID. DOLPHINS WERE ALL AROUND US. WE FLOATED, LAUGHING AND CRYING LIKE LITTLE GIRLS AT DAWN.

- Cherie Healy | Leadership Coach, The Luminaries

owning my path

A SESSION WITH JOBI IS EQUALLY RELAXING AND LIGHT AS IT IS INTENSE AND DEEP. SHE HAS A UNIQUE ABILITY TO PULL OUT YOUR DEEPEST DESIRES AND INTUITIONS IN A WAY THAT FEELS SAFE AND NURTURING. I LEFT FEELING DEELY CONNECTED TO MYSELF AND INSPIRED TO RETAKE OWNERSHIP OF MY JOURNEY. UNLIKE MANY OTHER EXPERIENCES I’VE HAD, MY WORK WITH JOBI WAS LASTING, A FEELING I GO BACK TO AND CHECK IN WITH REGULARLY.

- Anna Nesser | Partner, Omelete

A JOURNEY OF BECOMING

TRULY SUCH AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE. I COULD NEVER PUT IT INTO WORDS. I READ SOMETHING YESTERDAY THAT SAID, “WE ARE ON THE JOURNEY OF BECOMING WHO WE ALREADY ARE”. THANK YOU FOR STEERING ME BACK INTO THE CURRENTS OF MY OWN WELL CHARTED WATERS AND THOSE I HAVE YET TO CROSS. CARRYING MY HEART FULL OF SUN.

- Julia Trimms | Doula & Artist

RUSH OF A RIVER

I WENT TO THERAPY LATER THAT DAY - I TOLD MY THERAPIST IT FELT LIKE I HAVE BEEN SITTING IN MUDDY WATER, AND THERE WAS A RUSH OF A RIVER THAT JUST PASSED THROUGH.

- Kevin Hekmat | Talent Manager

NEWFOUND SENSE OF PEACE

MY WATER REBIRTHING EXPERIENCE WITH SEFARI WAS PHENOMENAL, UNIQUE AND LIFE CHANGING. JOBI WEAVES TOGETHER MULTIPLE LINEAGES, SACRED TEXTS, AND HEALING MODALITIES TO CREATE SOMETHING TOTALLY NEW THAT ALLOWED MY MIND AND BODY TO MAKE NEEDED SHIFTS AND UPGRADES AND SHED A LOT OF OLD STORIES AND PATTERNS. THE EXPERIENCE IN THE WATER WAS ONE OF FEELING DEEPLY HELD, AND AS A RESULT, DEEPLY SAFE. IN THAT TIMELESS SPACE I FLET A NEWFOUND SENSE OF PEACE THAT I WAS ABLE TO TAKE BACK WITH ME TO SHORE. AND THAT IS A GIFT I WILL NEVER FORGET.

- Vivian Rosenthal | Co-Founder, Frequency Labs

MOVING WITH CHANGE

IT DEEPENED MY UNDERSTANDING OF MYSELF THROUGH CREATING CONNECTIONS BETWEEN MY PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE. IT OPENED MORE WAYS FOR ME TO SEE. OUR SESSION WAS SO FULL, I AM STILL DIGESTING IT, BUT IT HAS LED TO SO MUCH MORE CLARITY THAN I HAD BEFORE.

- Anar Bhansali | Social Activist & Jewelry Designer

TO THE MOON

MY SENSE OF SPIRITUALITY HAS SKYROCKETED.

- Carolyn Williams | Founder of Zeyphr

Home, and at ease

I WAS INTRODUCED TO THE SEFARI BATH IMMERSIONS BY MY BEST FRIEND AT THE BEGINNING OF COVOID19. FROM THE VERY FIRST TIME I ENTERED THE WATER, I FELT AT HOME. AT EASE. THE GROUNDING RESONANE OF JOBI’S VOICE GUIDING US THROUGH OUT MEDITATION, COMBINED WITH THE SOFTNESS OF THE WATER MADE THE JOURNEY ONE OF A KIND. I FIND THAT DOING THIS KIND OF MEDITATION WITHIN THE CONTAINER OF WATER HAS TAKEN ME EVEN DEEPER THAN REGULAR MEDITATION. IT IS A PRACTICE I’M GOING TO CONTINUE FOR AS LONG AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE! IT HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED MY LIFE.

- Siobhan Walsh | Artist, Vocalist

HEARTFELT RESTORATION

JOBI’S WATER JOURNEYS ARE HEARTFELT AND RESTORATIVE. TWICE DURING THE 2020 PANDEMIC, I’VE EXPERIENCED HER REMOTE, YET CONNECTIVE, DEEP DIVES / SOAKS INTO THE SELF. HER SESSIONS ARE TRULY UNIQUE, RENEWING AND HIGHLY RECCOMENDED — A PORTAL TO OUR INNER WHALE.

- David Gruber | Marine Biologist, National Geographic Society

IN AWE OF THE DEPTH

I’M REALLY IN AWE OF THE DEPTH OF EXPERIENCE THAT I HAD WITH MY SĒFARI BATH IMMERSION. JOBI GUIDED ME SO EXPERTLY THROUGH A BEAUTIFUL MEDITATIVE EXPERIENCE THAT ALLOWED ME TO ACCESS IMPORTANT CHILDHOOD MEMORIES AND CONNECT TO MY CORE OF CREATIVITY. IT HELPED ME UNDERSTAND AND FIND PEACE WITH A PARADOX WITHIN MYSELF THAT I HAD NEVER ACCESSED WITH SUCH CLARITY BEFORE. THROUGH EACH STEP OF THE BATH RITUAL, JOBI WAS SUPPORTIVE, ALLOWING ME TO DEVELOP THE KIND OF TRUST THAT FACILITATED THIS EMOTIONAL JOURNEY INWARD. DOING THIS HEALING WORK WITHIN THE WATER ADDED SUCH AN AMAZING ELEMENT, BRINGING AN INCREDIBLE ENERGY THAT ENHANCED MY EMOTIONAL EXPLORATION. I’VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO EXPERIENCE A LOT OF WONDERFUL HEALING MODALITIES WITH GIFTED PRACTICIONERS, AND JOBI’S OFFERING REALLY STANDS OUT AS ONE OF THE MOST INSPIRING SESSIONS THAT HELPED ME CONNECT SO MUCH MORE PROFOUNDLY WITH MYSELF. I’M VERY GRATEFUL!

- Allison, Brooklyn | Artist, COLORSHIFT

uniquely, profound

MY REMOTE BATH SESSION WITH JOBI WAS A REVELATION. AS A HEALER, I SPEND MY DAYS WORKING WITH THE FORCES THAT OPEN & CLOSE US TO LIFE. I’VE NEVER CONNECTED AS QUICKLY AND DEEPLY TO MY HEART CENTER AS I DID EXPLORING THE WARM WATER WITH JOBI AS MY GUIDE. HER CARE, INTELLIGENCE, AND RAZOR SHARP INTUITION CREATED AN IDEAL CONTAINER FOR WORK THAT’S INHERENTLY VULNERABLE. JOBI YOU’VE CREATED SOMETHING UNIQUE AND PROFOUND. THANK YOU!

-David Sleininger | Healer, Musician

Mic drop

I LEARNED TO LOVE MYSELF.

THAT WAS BOTH OTHERWORLDLY AND TOTALLY AT HOME AT THE SAME TIME. I TRULY FEEL REBORN.
