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 art of being merry
As the year winds down, we offer you a playful reminder of the 5 Pillars of Emotional Fitness and through this light-hearted summer story, may you find joy in the art of simply being.
Man, oh man
A stir fry, a boys night out, comic relief and improv showcased how men could be positive role models in a society fraught with few.
A no show, a knockout and a blowoff
Time spent with a sibling with special needs added a layer of complexity to already full days which were further impacted by missed meetings. Recognising the impact sent us seeking support.
All talk no action
We went to a talk about philosophy, a subject too large for one hour and one that focuses on talking, debating and thinking. What about the action and the balance between the two?
Hurry up and wait
A weekend trip for a birthday party starts with so much hurry up and wait. Life does not ask us to hurry, it asks us to wait and watch and wonder.
