Yossi Ghinsberg
The Power to Survive

Wednesday 27 May
3.15pm – 4.15pm

In the midst of the uncharted Amazon, after losing his three companions, one man was tested to the extreme. Alone and bare to the bone, for three harrowing weeks he battled to survive against all odds.

However, Yossi Ghinsberg lived to tell the amazing story. As well as how the ordeal profoundly affected his understanding of himself and his life purpose.

Ten years later Yossi returned to the Amazon and made it his home. Working with indigenous forest dwellers for three years they built Cha-la-lan, a model eco-tourism village that inspired the entire world. The following decade of his life he dedicated to the treatment and rehabilitation of opiate addicts across the globe.

Yossi is the author of the international best-sellers Jungle and Laws of the Jungle, and also the subject of a recent Discovery Channel documentary. Yossi’s amazing journey is also currently being turned into a full-length feature film.

Yossi now travels the planet sharing his messages on vision, hope, survival and the inevitability of change.
