DID YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT ME?

I absolutely love cooking! I've been vegan for many years and often spend time in the kitchen creating delicious, healthy vegan food.

So, this Friday I'm bringing some of my homemade delights to the November Twilight Market in Nahoon!

I'll have my famous hummus in three delicious varieties, a selection of homemade pickles and beautiful organic French lavender plants.

Everything is made with love and the best ingredients. There will be a variety of goodies, so you'll just have to pop in and see what I've been making!

Come and find me, stock up on some goodies, enjoy the market and support a cause very close to my heart. Buckaroo dog sterilisation project !

Shop local !

I'd love to see you there.

LIFE IS HAPPENING NOW.

When I was 38 and became seriously ill, I found myself lying in a hospital bed, frightened and uncertain about what the future held. Would I live? What would the results show?

It was one of the most difficult periods of my life, but it also taught me something that would change the way I see the world.

I began to understand how much of our suffering comes from living in our heads. Replaying the past, worrying about tomorrow and becoming so caught up in our thoughts that we miss the life unfolding right in front of us.

We cannot stop our thoughts, nor can we simply wish our anxiety away. But we can learn to become aware of our thoughts without allowing them to run our lives.

For me, discovering the present moment was like coming home. Beneath all the noise, the fear and the endless thinking, there is a stillness. A peace. And something much greater than ourselves.

Nature has been one of my greatest teachers. And through photography, I discovered that the more present we become, the more we actually see. Not just with our eyes, but with our hearts.

We spend so much of our lives somewhere else. Yesterday or tomorrow. Yet life is happening right here, right now.

Perhaps the invitation is simply to stop for a moment. Breathe. Feel your feet on the ground. Look at the world around you. Really see it.

You are not your thoughts, your fears or your anxiety.

Come back to the present. Come back to life itself.

Does anyone else feel that we have lost our way ?

We seem to have become disconnected from ourselves, from Nature and from what it truly means to be human.

There is so much happening in the world that we cannot control. We cannot change other people, but we can change the way we live, the energy we bring into the world and the way we treat one another.

I often ask myself: What can I do? I'm just one person.

And then I realised that perhaps I can do more than I think.

What if we simply came together, even if only online, and spent a little time connecting with our hearts, holding a collective intention of love, peace and a better world?

We know the power of prayer. Why not the power of loving intention?

Change begins within us. It begins in our homes, in our relationships and in the way we move through the world. And from there, it ripples outward.

I'd love you to join me this Sunday for a FREE live meditation. Let's create a little more peace in the world, starting with ourselves.

There is something about the simple things in life. The stillness of the morning, listening to the sounds of the peace and quiet. The smell of an early morning as the earth awakens. Everyone going about their business, the birds singing. Everything is in flow.

So different from our everyday lives in the city.

A beautiful image taken in the Transkei which is along our coast line where I live.
A lesson for us to take from this image is for us to enjoy the simple things in our lives. Don't take them for granted. My work has meaning, I spent over 40 years capturing the stillness and lessons in Nature. I want to share this tranquility that I found with each of you.

Early morning, comes in different sizes. View on my website marleneneumann.com, contact me for sizes, or email

Happiness... A childlike bliss feeling that happens deep inside of us. No one and nothing can make that happiness last. It swells up and bubbles up and over inside. When your mind is quiet and your heart is open, that's when you feel it.

No thoughts about anything or anyone. Only love flowing from your heart center. That's inner peace.

If you feel anything other than that - ask yourself what are you thinking about. Watch your thoughts and how they take over your life.
Love Marlene

Mother Nature... Our Greatest Teacher.

For 44 years I've followed the light through my camera, but some of my greatest lessons have come from simply being in nature.

I believe nature is one of the closest ways we can experience God. It is our classroom, our place of remembering, and where so much of life's beauty unfolds.

We spend so much time in the busyness of the world that we forget to stop, look and listen.
We were never meant to be separate from nature. We are part of it.

An invitation to slow down, quieten the mind and reconnect with the beauty and wisdom that is all around us.

Love Marlene

What if photography was never just about taking a photograph?

For me, photography has always been about something far deeper. It is about connection. With Nature, with life, and with the spirit that moves through all things.

Over the past 44 years, my camera has taught me to look beyond what I see, to feel, to listen, and to recognise the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Because when we learn to truly see, something within us begins to change.

I've recorded this free masterclass to share what photography has taught me about life, creativity, and our connection to the world around us.

Come and discover The Spirit of Photography.

The philosophy of life through photography by Fine Art Master Photographer and Spiritual Teacher Marlene Neumann

28/10/2026

How much of life do we really see? And how much do we simply accept without ever questioning it?

We have become so caught up in the noise around us that we often miss what is right in front of us. We label things, we make assumptions, and we move through life without stopping to look a little deeper.

But what if there is so much more to being human than we have been led to believe?

Over the years, I have come to understand that life is constantly showing us something. Through Nature, through our emotions, through our experiences, and even through the things we find difficult to face.

This is why I created my series, Capturing What People Don’t Talk About.

I wanted to open up conversations about the things that really matter. The things we often avoid, overlook or never think to question. What it means to be human, how we live, what we feel, and how we find our way back to what is real.

Because perhaps the answers we are searching for aren't somewhere outside of us. Perhaps we need to start looking in a different way.

I'd love you to explore the series and see what speaks to you.
