For six years, the Vastly Sage Uplifting Brunch has been a highlight on the Joburg calendar, and the 22 November 2025 event elevated it to new heights.
Founder and host Amanda Dambuza gave a rousing opening welcome. Her laughter, dancing and passion set the tone for a truly uplifting day.
As media partner once again, YourLuxury Africa hosted a beautifully curated and elegant lounge scented with Acqua di Parma candles, where guests could network, sip on a glass of Veuve Clicquot or Terre Paisible Chardonnay, and enjoy a moment of indulgence.
A raft of inspiring speakers shared insights on topics that included deeply personal stories such as “From Abandonment to Purpose” by Reverend Kabelo Motlhakane, and “The Psychology of Wealth” by Nomi Bodlani, Head of Direct & Private Clients at Allan Gray.
A spectacular lunch was served by award-winning chef Wandile Mabaso.
Another highlight was a powerful panel discussion offering a relatable look at the impact of perimenopause. And if anyone needed a touch-up, Clarins was on hand not only to refresh faces but also to offer personalised skincare tips.
Overall, the day was a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of Joburg (and the G20 summit!) and provided attendees with tools and encouragement to finish the year fabulously.
