Pip will tell us the tale of an epic three-month world-first journey, following Guyana’s Essequibo River from source to sea.

With the help of guides from the Waiwai indigenous community, Pip and the all-female team journeyed through unexplored rainforest, facing peril every day as they kayaked rapids, traversed waterfalls and hacked their way through mountainous jungle, before finally reaching the Atlantic Ocean.

Bridging the fields of wellness, travel and self-help, Pip and the team’s incredible tale is told through a framework of life lessons that we can all be inspired by in our everyday lives. From discovering the value of community, vulnerability and gut instinct, to facing our fear and the value of patience, Pip shares what she learnt to help us all discover the wildness within ourselves and live more every day.
