the Metafari Story
Imagine getting this idea in your head:
“I want to arrange Metaphor safaris, why not call it Metafari!”

You know it is great idea. There is only one problem:

You don’t know why.

So you convince some customers and partners to join you
and travel to Tanzania for the first Metafari in November 2007.

Six days around the Waterhole, the Norwegian Conference Centre in Tanga, The local market, the Maasai settlement,
the Termite mound and the Coral reef.

After the first prototype Metafari you all agree this really is a good idea. But now you have two new problems:

Can it be done again, and how should you tell others about it?

So you return to Tanzania , and meet up with a local partner, Rafael ole Moono.  You sit together under a tree for three days talking.  And for two nights you sit under the stars, drinking whisky and talking.

After the three days and two nights you have become partners. Together you have elaborated with the idea making it even better, and you know the project is feasible.

Only one problem left. How do you tell others about it?

You now know that a Metafari is a process, where every person will bring home his/her own very valuable findings and results. It has brought a lot of personal and professional value, in many ways you did not expect.

And every time you tell about this very good, and very practical, idea it changes shape. The story finds new expressions and perspectives.

With help from friends in the network you elaborate around the idea, find partnerships, create a web site.

And you invite others to join.
Welcome to the world of Metafari
