We are proud to officially launch The Ark, our new mental health facility – an important and exciting milestone in our journey.
Over the past week, we had the privilege of welcoming visiting psychiatrists and clinicians from across South Africa and Europe, and we were especially delighted to host a distinguished group of doctors and clinicians from London.
The week began with a soft opening last Tuesday for the teams at The Ark, White River Manor, and The Recovery Centre.
Guests were welcomed with an address from our founders, followed by an exclusive tour of the facility.
By Wednesday, we welcomed our international delegates, offering them the opportunity to experience The Ark first-hand.
On Thursday morning, guests enjoyed a unique visit to Elephant Whispers before preparing for our highly anticipated Grand Opening.
The evening commenced at 4:30 pm with a warm welcome and introductions from our founders and local dignitaries, hosted by Dr Michael Mol, a respected South African doctor and television personality.
The energy continued with an interactive drumming experience, bringing guests together in a vibrant and memorable celebration.
The evening was further elevated by a stunning performance from opera singer Innocent Masuku, leading into a beautifully curated dinner at The Ark.
Friday offered an unforgettable early morning safari experience in the Kruger, followed by time to unwind and enjoy the exceptional surroundings of the facility.
Throughout the week, our clinical team and founders were on hand to share insights, answer questions, and reflect on the journey that has brought The Ark to life.
We are now excited to welcome our first clients this week and begin the next chapter of this exciting and meaningful journey.
