Reconnection Path: Back to the Source

The Reconnection Path: Back to the Source is a gentle journey into stillness, nature, and self. Through time in Uganda’s serene landscapes and rooted communities, it invites you to slow down, unplug, and return to what truly matters — your own inner source, where clarity, calm, and meaning begin.

Sipi Falls

  • Location: Eastern Uganda, near the town of Kapchorwa.

​

  • The Falls: A stunning series of three waterfalls, the highest dropping about 100 meters into the valley below.

​

  • Scenery: Surrounded by lush green hills, coffee plantations, and panoramic views stretching across the Karamoja plains.

​

  • Activities: Hiking between the falls, abseiling down cliffs, exploring local Arabica coffee farms, and cultural visits with the Sebei community.​

Embark on a soulful journey to Sipi Falls, where cascading waterfalls, dramatic cliffs, and quiet countryside invite you to pause, breathe, and reconnect. Nestled on the slopes of Mount Elgon, this sacred landscape offers the perfect setting to return to your inner stillness and reflect on what truly matters.

​

Walk meditative trails to the three waterfalls, listen to the rhythm of flowing water, and watch the sun set over vast valleys. Join a guided forest meditation, take part in a local coffee ceremony, and explore the connection between nature, community, and self.

​

This is more than a trip—it’s a return to your roots. A path back to presence, simplicity, and the source of your own strength.
