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.

Time in mind
Patience paid off and the car, gone for so long, was returned. Time to do a good job and make an impact deserves acknowledgement and appreciation.
Creating a new world
In response to a very large and very real need a new world was created. In the beginning there was an amazing process, now there is an entire universe of possibilities.
Want different? Do different
Chaotic driving showed how external behaviour mirrored an internal state. Wanting a different outcome requires a different approach including building internal firewalls against pervasive negativity.
The journey to the self
An unseasonably wet week led to a reflection that nothing nature does is personal. While the journey to the self can be rocky, coming back to the intelligence of our bodies can keep us in the flow.
