Mindful Walks
We are offering groups of up to 8 people the opportunity to get out into the mountains and experience the outdoors.
These opportunities are subsidised, we kindly ask for a donation from those that participate. All money is put back into Gecko House to fund further sessions both indoors and outdoors.

Native Americans – Dreams, Healing and Survival In general, the Gecko symbolism is asking you to be highly adaptable.
1. Urges you to accept change when it comes and see adversity as an opportunity to improve yourself.
2. That you should give fear no place in your life. It also lets you know that you can triumph over anything.
3. Encourages you to remain focused on your goals, despite setbacks and challenges.
The spirit animal says.
1. That if you know what you want in life, you should go after it and not let anything or anyone discourage you.
