Nancy Horenburg, a seasoned resident of Botswana for over three decades, has found her sanctuary in Mokatse Village's The Land. This tranquil haven serves as her workspace and a sanctuary for wellness, where she imparts workshops on health and wellbeing, while offering delectable vegan lunches and serene overnight stays.

A creative soul, Nancy channels her passions into a myriad of artistic endeavors. Her vegan creations, original artworks, greeting cards, handcrafted adornments, and other exquisite pieces find their way to monthly markets and eager customers.

Her journey as a martial artist, spanning years of Karate, other martial arts, and Taiji and Qigong practice, has enriched her life in profound ways. The philosophy of health, fitness, character development, and the harmonious balance of body, mind, and spirit has shaped her identity as an artist, food creator, and lover of animals and nature. She generously shares her expertise through art, health and wellbeing,  and cooking classes, as well as self-defense workshops.

As an artist, Nancy's mediums of choice are watercolor and clay sculpture. Her works have graced Gaborone's galleries through three solo watercolor exhibitions and two solo showcases of both watercolor and clay sculpture. Her artistic contributions extend beyond her personal pursuits, as she has illustrated books for UNICEF and Seventh Day Adventist, as well as Michael Roads' children's book, "Sago, The Caterpillar Who Wanted to Fly."

Recognizing her artistic talents, Botswana Post commissioned Nancy to create two sets of stamps: "Beetles of Botswana" in 2008 and "Domestic Animals" in 2014. She also contributed to the Commemorative Stamp Issue for Botswana's 50 Years of Progress in 2016.

At The Land, Nancy has fostered a vibrant community through biannual Art and Craft events. These biannual gatherings, offer a haven for creative expression, music, and culinary delights. Here, creatives come together to share in the joy of arts, crafts, music, and food—a true celebration of community and creativity.

Beyond her artistic pursuits, Nancy is a Virtues Project™ and a Capacitar International Facilitator, incorporating these techniques into her classes and daily life. As a Tellington TTouch Practitioner, she provides compassionate care and training for animal companions, offering practical solutions for their well-being.

From 2005 to 2018, Nancy was the heart of the Partners in Botho Project, a local NGO where she worked with the children of Mokatse and Modipane villages. Twice a week, she volunteered her time—first for play and then for structured learning. Her classes covered everything from martial arts and yoga to art, music, and crafts, inspiring the next generation to explore their talents and embrace creativity.

Nancy's passion for knowledge is boundless, encompassing life skills, self-sufficiency, sustainability, plant-based cooking, raw cuisine, woodworking, arts and crafts, music, writing, gardening, holistic living, animal care, and compassionate living.

Ultimately, Nancy aspires to live a life of harmony, encompassing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, all while embracing the rhythm of Earth's song.
