About Enabling the How
Our call to action at 5th Place is to focus on developing emotional fitness and mental well-being in order to create positive change in the world. Join us, Chantal and Matthew, co-owners of 5th Place, in our escapades every week as we stumble and trip, dance and whirl our way through very normal and not so normal weeks in their drive to make the world a better place. This “How” comes in many different forms and in this case it comes in the form of sharing life, loves, and loss. It’s also a whole lot of what living is like in South Africa.

The power of touch
A planned road trip and a session about touch reminds us of the need to hug and be hugged and the good that it can do when there is care and love attached to it.
Learning curves and roundabouts
The decision to turn an audio offering into a video course provides for a very steep learning curve. Reality is a rocky path that requires tenacity to traverse. It is done and we are glad.
A meeting of hearts
The wedding of two delightful individuals is the icing on the cake of a serendipitous meeting two years ago. You never know who you are going to meet and what effect they may have on you.
An end may be a beginning
Recent endings and beginnings of lives resulted in moments of deep reflection about what we are doing with our time here on earth and what legacy we want to leave.
Clumsy but brilliant
As one being left another arrived. The challenges of dealing with this new life causes some consternation, a bit of confusion and more than a little chaos. Just like many significant change events.
The importance of impact
Structure and commitment get us through a tough time. Memories, recollections and stories build a picture of a giant of a man and give a perspective of the importance of our impact.
Affirm, affirm, affirm
Exploring our love languages and the ability to truly connect leads to the realisation that the one that everyone could do more of is words of affirmation. A sobering statistic urges us to do more.
No(n)sense of an ending
The unexpected and unhappy ending of a series causes a strong reaction and some urgent dishwashing but also a chance to reframe and refocus on what is more important.
Walls and boundaries
A loud and busy building site that has a very big house on it has been the cause of some consternation. Pushing through the irritation and remaining neighbourly is the battle we wage.
