LEADERSHIP:
Nature teaches the brave

It is in South Africa that we establish the cradle of humanity. This adventure is a final return to the foundations of social and physical survival, where the human race was born. The Psycom Origin training-adventure is an immersive experience both theoretical and practical in the foundation of human communication and interaction with the African environment. The original Psycom adventure is a time to focus on deepening the foundations of human communication in its environment.

GUIDE AND PROTECT THE GROUP

 

More than a million years ago, the first humans walked in the African savannah in small groups, daily facing the many challenges and dangers of nomadic life. This environment has contributed significantly to the biological and psychological evolution of humans. The goal is to rediscover the skills that characterize us as humans and develop them. Indeed, it is through listening and awareness that it is possible to survive in an environment with dangers. As part of this adventure, it is a unique moment in which it will be a question of living in real interaction with African nature, just as the first humans did.

In the African nature, it is humans who must function as a team, sharpen their senses and adapt to the elements and especially the animals that are kings and masters.

GUIDEZ ET PROTÉGEZ LE GROUPE

Il y a plus d’un million d’années, les premiers humains marchaient dans la savane africaine en petits groupes, quotidiennement confrontés aux multiples défis et dangers de la vie nomade. Cet environnement a significativement contribué à l’évolution biologique et psychologique des humains. L’objectif est de redécouvrir les habiletés qui nous caractérisent comme humains et les développer. En effet, c’est grâce à l’écoute et la conscience qu’il est possible de survivre dans un environnement comportant des dangers. Dans le cadre de cette aventure, il s’agit d’un moment unique où il sera question de vivre en interaction réelle avec la nature africaine, tout comme le faisaient les premiers humains.

Dans la nature africaine, ce sont les humains qui doivent fonctionner en équipe, aiguiser leurs sens et s’adapter à chaque seconde aux éléments et surtout aux animaux qui sont rois et maitres.

DEALING WITH THE “BIG 5”

Psycom Origin is a highly specialized training trip whose seminary and exercise topics concern advanced human communication and interaction with the African environment, especially with the 5 most dangerous animals in Africa: elephant, rhinoceros, cape buffalo, leopard and lion. Indeed, the presence of potentially dangerous animals explains the need for our social and sensory adaptation in order to survive. These are the foundations of listening to our environment.

The adventure consists of alternating seminars specialized human communication as well as animal behavior. The daily field exercises and the different types of safaris will make the learnings a reality.

PSYCOM ORIGIN

Introduction to the nomadic life of the first humans

The participant will learn to develop his physical, emotional, attentional self-awareness as well as the awareness of his environment in real time. This adaptation requires the development of reflexes and skills that are directly transferable in daily life. Ultimately, participants will, among other things, sleep in the savannah for three consecutive nights, in total autonomy. Survival in such an environment directly involves field knowledge about adapted behaviours in the savannah, communication with each animal species, reading and understanding. To do this, specialized seminars are included in order to understand the fundamental variables.
To venture on foot in a field where Africa’s most dangerous animals live is not to be taken lightly and is an exceptional experience. It requires a high expertise and unique field knowledge in order to stay safe at all times.
Dr. Guillaume Dulude PhD will personally accompany the participants and lead most of the seminars and exercises. He will be assisted by Pieter Dunn, a walking safari guide. It is one of South Africa’s most recognized guides to the interaction and behaviour of large animals in Africa. He will not only lead the animal behaviour seminars but will be in charge of the management of the savannah outings as well as the three days of survival.

CORPORATE TRAINING AND TEAM DEVELOPMENT

Psycom Origin is a specialized training/adventure for team development and leadership. Combining psychology, survival and walking safaris in hostile territory, this unparalleled experience is an individual and collective transformational activity. In addition to creating a common and meaningful experience for members of a team or organization, the guidance of Dr. Guillaume Dulude allows for multiple awarenesss as well as the development of attitudes and strategies that only this environment can offer. Like the urban jungle and the competitive business world, African nature has precise rules. Our ability to survive and prosper is directly related to the development of consciousness and leadership in the present moment. This expedition combines applied psychology, neuroscience, leadership skills, team cohesion and memories that will never fade away.
