Fire Walker Coach, the man who ‘Climbed Kilimanjaro on Crutches’, joins the incredible 2026 Festival’s line-up and offers FIRE WALKING Saturday 16:30 – 18:30 on the Beach Terrace. He is also a panellist on ‘The Other Side’ Colloquium on Sunday, hosted by Sandra Bullen.
Cobus’s remarkable journey of self-discovery led him to develop a unique perspective on life, embracing the power of positivity and the strength of the human spirit. With his eloquent and passionate delivery, he shares his profound insights, motivating individuals to overcome obstacles, pursue their dreams and find their own path to success. Cobus Visser has become a beacon of inspiration, leaving a lasting impact on all those who have had the privilege of hearing his empowering words.
Cobus ‘The Viking’ Visser is also a renowned South African Certified Speaking Professional, author, trainer, facilitator, life coach and Master Fire walking Instructor, dedicated to helping individuals and business leaders reach their greatest potential. Over the past decade, he has worked with thousands of individuals, teams and organisations to achieve peak performance.
Cobus lives the ethos of doing #WHATEVERITTAKES to achieve every version of your life that you pursue. After being diagnosed with haemophilia as a child and enduring excruciating pain for years, he found himself in the hospital in 2013, unable to move. Instead of conceding to that fate, Cobus decided his body would no longer be his prison. He has since not only gained full mobility but has also conquered a seemingly impossible feat and has scaled Mount Kilimanjaro — on crutches.
Cobus has co-authored three books, Extraordinary You 1, 2, and 3, with fellow coach Renier Horne, and has just released his debut memoir, Walking Through Fire in English and Loop Deur Vuur in Afrikaans, available globally. And, since starting this journey, he has twice been honoured with the Men of Valour award, but 2024 has seen him receive global recognition as a Certified Speaking Professional, headlining at the Global Speakers Association in Bali, the Business Expo Africa and REAL Success in South Africa.

He is expertly qualified as the only Certified Master Fire Walking Instructor in Africa and a Certified Master Executive Business Coach, who leads driven, powerful, forward-thinking individuals to achieve greater impact within their organisations. In addition, he has completed courses in Applied Sports Psychology, Train the Trainer, and Mental Strength, and is skilled as an Enneagram facilitator, amongst a host of other development courses that bring the most out of every mentee.

We cannot wait to share this space in time, in touch, in connection with you and invite you to enjoy this personal journey of discovery, curated to nourish body and mind and to set your spirit free
There was a time when the feminine was not hidden, feared, or silenced—but revered as the living intelligence of life itself. Priestesses, healers, witches, oracles, and wise ones were the backbone of society, holding the mysteries of birth and death, sexuality and creation, ritual and the unseen worlds.
As patriarchal systems rose, the feminine was pushed into the shadows. Intuition was dismissed. Sensitivity was shamed. The body was severed from spirit. Both women and men were taught to distrust the receptive, cyclical, relational forces of life—and in doing so, we lost an essential part of ourselves.
The time of the Goddess rising is here.
The Rise of the Divine Feminine is a living transmission. In this masterclass, Rouxvé invites you into the felt presence of the feminine current moving through the world at this time—calling forth ways of being that go against everything you’ve been taught in this lifetime. This is not about gender. The Divine Feminine lives within all beings and awakens wherever there is a willingness to listen, to feel, and to surrender to the intelligence behind the creation of all of existence. The result? A renewed, unwavering faith in life’s miraculous unravelling. This gathering is an initiation into balance, wholeness, and sacred power—where the Goddess awaits, ready to meet you once again.
Rouxvé is a spiritual teacher, Priestess, and integrative guide who has worked with clients across the world—both online and in person—to support deep remembrance, embodiment, and sovereignty. Her work helps people reconnect with their Higher Self and awaken the dormant codes of wisdom and power that allow their true nature to come fully online.
Through this process, clients are guided back into wholeness—embracing all aspects of who they are—leading to greater clarity, fulfillment, and an inner sense of authority rooted in the body and soul.
Her work bridges ancient priestess traditions with modern science & biohacking, creating spaces of deep transmission & transformation rather than surface-level teaching. Rouxvé’ s flagship offering, the Priestess Initiation, is a sacred journey of embodiment and remembrance for women called to live in devotion to their highest truth.
Welcome to the KwazuluSpirit Festival 2026. A Celebration of Consciousness, 30 and 31 May 2026, at the Salt Rock Hotel Ballito Debra Stevens Robins, Founder and Curator.
Our footprint is kindness; our credo, consciousness This represents our philosophy focused on intentional living. It combines the active, outward expression of compassion with an inner, mindful awareness of our impact on the world and all those within it.
Our Footprint is Kindness:
This emphasises that our actions, daily gestures, words, and behaviours — are the lasting mark we leave on people and the environment; encouraging us all to leave a trail of compassion, love and joy that uplifts every person who connects with this magnificent celebration.
Our Credo is Consciousness
This refers to living with mindfulness and awareness, rather than operating on autopilot. It is the foundation that ensures the ‘kindness’ is authentic, thoughtful and intended. Our overarching intention and desire for all of our attendees and our festival is to demonstrate that kindness and giving are a conscious choice and giving of ourselves is a powerful force that changes lives within a collective. Every single participant in every significant event, body movement modality, masterclass and our healing session joins us with kindness and in a collective consciousness that demonstrates a beautiful sentiment. When we focus on collective consciousness, we move beyond the individual to a shared space of empathy and higher intent – each and every one participates in love, in light and with conscious intention to make a difference. Consciousness is Contagious Spreading love and compassion carries with it an energy that causes it to form a wave, creating a ripple effect that resonates through this life and eternity. We invite you to manifest this incredible energy of the festival through movement, meditation, completion, participationandcreative expression. Tickets are on sale on Quicket and our confirmed programme is on our website.

How Nine Simple Tones Can Help Recalibrate Your Energy and Body
Solfeggio frequencies are a series of specific sound tones believed to hold unique healing properties that interact with the body on a vibrational level. Originally derived from ancient Gregorian chants and attributed to early sacred music traditions, these frequencies are based on a mathematical tuning system that differs from the modern Western 440 Hz scale. Each frequency is thought to correspond with specific energetic and physiological effects, influencing consciousness, emotions, and physical healing.
How Solfeggio Frequencies Differ From Other Healing Sounds:
Unlike binaural beats, which use two slightly different tones played in each ear to create a perceived third tone and alter brainwave states, Solfeggio frequencies are single, pure tones played directly. They also differ from overtones (natural harmonics found within instruments or voices), duotones (two tones played together), or general sound bath elements like crystal bowls or gongs, which produce complex, layered frequencies. Solfeggio frequencies are precisely tuned to a fixed scale believed to align with the body’s energetic and cellular systems. While all sound healing modalities influence the nervous system and biofield, Solfeggio frequencies are distinctive in their mathematically coherent tuning and claimed historical sacred lineage.
The Nine Main Solfeggio Frequencies & Their Uses
🔹 174 Hz – A grounding tone known for reducing physical pain and creating a sense of safety. Often used for physical healing and trauma release.
🔹 285 Hz – Supports tissue regeneration and cellular healing. This frequency is commonly used in deep energetic and biological repair work.
🔹 396 Hz – Assists in releasing fear, guilt, and shame. Promotes emotional balance and inner strength.
🔹 417 Hz – Clears negative energy, supports transformation, and encourages emotional clearing. Useful for energetic resets and fresh starts.
🔹 528 Hz – Known as the “miracle tone,” this frequency is associated with DNA repair and heart-centred states such as love, compassion, and transformation.
🔹 639 Hz – Enhances communication, empathy, and harmony in relationships. Balances emotional energies within social and family dynamics.
🔹 741 Hz – A cleansing frequency that aids in detoxifying the body and mind, sharpening mental clarity and awakening intuition.
🔹 852 Hz – Encourages inner awakening, connection to higher consciousness, and expanded spiritual perception.
🔹 963 Hz – Associated with the activation of the pineal gland, this frequency is linked to states of unity, oneness, and access to Source or divine consciousness.
How to Use Solfeggio Frequencies
You can incorporate these frequencies into your daily rituals through meditation, yoga, journaling, breathwork, or simply while relaxing. There is no need for active effort—just listening is enough. The vibrations subtly influence your biofield, supporting alignment and balance without conscious intervention. Scientific research into vibrational medicine and sound therapy shows that frequencies can affect neural pathways, hormone production, and even cellular function.
Getting Started
Plenty of accessible resources exist online. Try searching terms like “528 Hz DNA healing” or “963 Hz meditation” on YouTube or Spotify. You’ll find tracks designed to support specific outcomes, whether emotional release, physical healing, or spiritual insight. See the example video found on YouTube below.
Let the tones move through you. No belief system is required—your body responds to resonance regardless. What matters is consistent exposure and open receptivity. The rest happens at a vibrational level where words are unnecessary.
Here we are, at a macro pivotal point in humanity’s story and in this now moment, as you are reading what I am writing, we are both answering a universal call to remember who we really are beyond the noise, the stories and the forgetting.
The patterns of our past that shaped our ways of thinking, doing and being are now converging in ways that can no longer be ignored. These once invisible cycles are becoming visible, calling us to remember who we are, to release what no longer serves and to live in alignment with our soul – the blend of spirit and body that I call SoulBeing.
Let us for a moment imagine living in a state of being that is no longer animated by old programming and external pressure but is moved by heart wisdom and soul resonance in an alchemical energetic formula.
Everything in the Universe is energy. This energy moves in waves. Waves form patterns. Patterns create rhythms. Rhythms shape cycles which begin and end, creating change. Life is rhythm. And you, too, are rhythm – a moving, living, breathing dance of energy in motion.
Accessed through the heart and activated in the body, SoulBeing is a felt experience, in the breath, in the silence, in the movement. Whether you are just beginning your journey or have travelled far along the path of awakening, SoulBeing meets you exactly where you are – with love, with presence and with an experience meant for your highest good in that moment.
As we reflect, soften and lean into this vibration of beingness, we begin to see that our evolution follows a sacred flow: From history to mystery, from doing into being and from being to soul embodiment. This is a path from separation to oneness, from certainty to awe and wonder. It is a shift from attachment and control to letting go and dancing with conscious co-creation through open heart-led awareness, intuitive soul-aligned choices, conscious love-aligned words and actions.
This journey is not a linear one. It spirals, it returns, it deepens with every turn as we are invited to live more fully, more freely and more soulfully. The dance with mystery calls us to show up in all our humanity – emotionally, mentally, physically – letting go of the weight of history through softening the heart, stilling the mind and seeking connection with spirit.
Life invites us to remember that our human experiences, all of them from challenges to triumphs, are a part of our soul’s curriculum. How we show up and do anything is how we do everything and to be the full expression of who you are means to acknowledge a universal truth: That change is inevitable, but growth is our conscious choice.
When we soften our attachment to fixed thoughts, dissolve rigid structures and let go of emotional habits, we dissolve and re-imagine ourselves, not as static beings but as fluid expression of becoming. Like the, nymph (or larva), living in a watery underworld which becomes a luminescent dragonfly, we too transform, evolving from one realm to another.
Our compass of awareness and coherence in this journey is our heart. It bridges consciousness between body and mind, guiding where we place our attention, attention shaping our intention and intention inspiring action. With this compass, we have the choice to learn from our history and to navigate our outer and inner worlds with full (pr)essence and resonance.
In the realm of what might be called the ‘Human Doing’, a world shaped by outward behaviour, by conformity, by structures designed for control, it is here that we can see and recognise the patterns we have inherited – cultural, generational, societal. Through looking backwards and observing, we become aware of these patterns, a first step towards transformation.
Awareness in the mind alone is not enough. True transformation begins when we turn inwards and pay attention to the stories unfolding between the head and the heart. This inward shift leads us into the realm of Human Being – a deeper, more intimate journey into the subconscious layers of self: Our beliefs, assumptions, judgments and emotional conditioning. As we sense the subtle undercurrents of emotion and habitual reactions in the body, we open the doorway to emotional freedom and heart energy mastery.
It is in this realm, the space of introspection and insight, that we meet the intelligence of the heart. We learn to understand our own energy, to feel our internal rhythms, our emotional waves that guide us from within. Through this understanding we awaken the ability to live with intention, to shape our energy, not from fear and reactivity, but empowered by conscious choice and a deep desire to grow in our humanity.
And then, we are called beyond. Beyond history, beyond the inward landscape, into what can only be felt, lived and trusted moment to moment. Here, we live into the unknown, the expansion of the universe, the mystery. It is not about arriving at a final truth but about dancing with life itself. This is ‘SoulBeing’.
We awaken the wisdom spark of both heart and soul, allowing spirit to meet flesh fully. It is here that attention and intention become vibrational tools – guides that allow us to shape our lives in alignment with the deeper and higher intelligence that flows through all things.
In this continuous unfolding, our relationship with life transforms, cycling through layers of awareness. Where we once held the belief that Life happens to me, we begin to feel the truth that Life flows through me, alive in our hearts, shaped by our (pr)essence and intention. And perhaps, we come to embody the knowing that Life is happening as me, an internal mystery school of Being, a remembering of our connection to and expression of Source. And when we follow the intuitive nudges to act on our highest joy, to the best of our ability, without trying to control how things unfold, we align ourselves vibrationally with the cosmic intention of ‘trusting, trusting, cha cha cha’, and we become both the Dancer and the Dance with Life, a spiritual being having a human experience.
You are a wave. You are a rhythm. You are a rippling movement.
In the sacred dance of life.
