Gypsy Journeys & Festivals
These are journeys to different places with different crowds of people and mash ups of ideas between different companies in an effort to collaborate, travel and heal - just like the ancients. We do Ride Outs with Bike and Broom Adventures to fall back in love with the countryside and discover new spaces in our back yard. The Butabi Brothers work their chaplain magick with groups and companies at open air music events or intimate tailored get aways with such ease and after attending many we decided to create the events ourselves, so that we can do our chaplain thing on a small, more authentic scale for individual attention, focusing on different themes and purposes on a more regular and less expensive way that also gives back to the animals, land and people we are visiting and so the Gypsy Journey idea was born and we've been assembling our team ever since. Tap to look into what we're creating for you with the team.

About the Butabi Brothers

Hospitality, healing and nurturing has been at the core of our lives since we stepped foot on this planet. Our passions are body, brain and soul integration, health and wellness and how we at humans fit into this planet's eco-system. We developed a love for Earth and her history, which gave birth to our need to treat our home and it's inhabitants better. Realising that We Are One is a profound experience that every human must go through to avoid becoming a liability for the present and future inhabitants of the world and to themselves even. We began our healing career at home from a very young age, learning from a dysfunctional dynamics and our experience ranges from hospitals, pathology labs, private investigation, private detailing, interior design, hospitality in hotels, guest houses, lodges and escapes, we have had extensive experience in executive assistance, procurement, brand relations, customer service and accounting, we have done courses in yoga and meditation, beauty, healing, wellness, abuse, c-ptsd, trauma bonds, planets, numerology, chaplaincy, reiki, self defense and other practical, spiritual and holistic practices both new age as well as traditional. We have always been involved in nature, garden, animal, ocean, children, land, air and community projects with previous employers and our own personal projects include volunteer work, rescue, fundraising, fostering and rehoming. Butabi Brothers is everything we've ever dreamed of doing, just more incredible now that we have united our passions working everyday towards creating these needed safe spaces for Land, Animals and People. Lucy, Cat, Megan, Mandy and Maggie became Body, Brain and Soul Integration Experts through all their experiences and now use that to tailor necessary valuable vacations as well as Cat & Lucy graduating ParaMilitary InterFaith Medical & Spiritual Chaplains in 2020 which has really assisted us in prioritising becoming part of a sustainable solution and moving away from just being part of the problem. This has always been and always will be at the top of our list and now we belong to a big family whose top priority is to keep the soul lights on here in South Africa, it feels good to feel good. Earth has had a couple of tough centuries! It's time for some fun and healing the right way. Integrating not only yourself, body, brain and soul but also with your environment and earth neighbours, as fauna, flora and humanity, because #WeAreOne

Our Meaningful Logo
Those who know us by now, know that there is nothing by chance in anything we do. We were born to tailor everything to make sense and fit essential puzzle pieces together and our stunning logo is proof of this. Try take a guess what some of the symbolism could be, before reading on.

We'll start with the B's which are obviously our abbreviations. There's a tall one and shorter one for us all being the same, but different and the pattern they make together, maps out the roads that we have journeyed together. They're back to back because we always have each other's backs. They are enclosed in a circle to represent the infinite cycle of life, representing the cycles of seasons, the wheel of life, the concept of karma, our commitment to each other and the journey and of course the solar system, planets and the moon which pretty much control a lot on Earth. There are three staggered moons to show the cycles of the moon as well as the Trinity Stages of life being Student-Teacher-Master (also known as Maiden-Mother-Crone or Paige-Father-Sage). Honestly you don't think so much meaning could fit into a circle.

If you turn it one way and then the other, you will see that both the masculine and feminine bits (clue, all start with a B lol) which also look like mountains and this represented because we are about equality and being connected as one no matter what we are. The three dots are the closest thing to our soul mission and they represent the Holy Trinity, which is the sacred bond between things for example, your Body-Brain-Soul or Land-Animals-People or You-Me-The thing we doing. It all comes down to a Win-Win-Win winning formulation.

If you turn it to another side, you'll notice those three dots are enclosed by a heart, because that is our business core, our hearts. The three dots are different sizes to remind us that everyone is different and there is a hierarchy to things to keep the natural order of the eco system, both in nature and in man's world which are all needed to maintain balance, just as the ocean is made up of single drops of water. If you keep it turned to that side or flip it, you'll see sunglasses, because the Butabi Brothers journey is so bright, everyone needs to wear shades *grin*, but honestly it's to look on the bright side of life without becoming blind and using the right goggles for the appropriate situation. The dots are also inside these, so we can remember to always be observant to protect ourselves because the details matter to see clearly.

Our colours are all about Mother Nature, blue for the skies and oceans, green for her flora, stone for the colour of all the bones who ever lived, the sand and our land. Grey is because we're neutral and nothing is black or white here on Earth and then of course we have eco glitter or sparkle in almost everything, because our lives are meant to shimmer without hurting others, so it reminds us to enjoy the journey and to always find a way to benefit all.
