Playing Mantis, a partnership between Petro Janse van Vuuren and Burgert Kirsten are presenting a series of two workshops in Stellenbosch, Cape Town, Johannesburg and Pretoria. Here is the info:
Why do so many people feel:
- trapped in a dead end job and unable to break free,
- unfit and unable to adopt a healthy lifestyle,
- stuck in debt with no relief in sight?
Others feel:
- stressed out because their income is uncertain,
- anxious because things are changing too fast,
- troubled because their relationships are failing.
The outcome of being in this state is either anger and frustration aimed at the world that is seemingly unfair and full of pain, or despair and depression aimed inwardly at yourself for not coping and not measuring up.
The solution for this state of stuck and stressed out survival is found in the present moment and in the ability to function in a state of flow. If you can rediscover your own passion and creativity and reconnect with other people you could regain a sense of plan and purpose.
Playing Mantis offers 2 half-day workshops to help you:
- Create a Personal Success Story so that you can plan clear steps and experience meaningful success right now
- Learn skills for becoming Present and Aware and finding your creative flow.

Your unique way with stories and characters opened a fresh perspective on my own character and story. I was moved by the way in which the stories brought the participants straight to the heart of their search for meaning.
