I am happy to announce my upcoming monthly webinar/ceremony this Wednesday + my latest podcast with Dr. Lotte on her Science with Soul podcast. The podcast episode is called ‘Wisdom & Introspection with African Sangoma Shaman John Lockley’. It was a wonderful interview. Dr. Lotte as a wealth of experience as a naturopathic doctor. I also published an article in Odyssey magazine on my journey teaching sangoma medicine to Buddhist communities in South Africa. Read my blog below entitled ‘7 years of Ancestral Bows In the Heart of Zululand’.
This week is our last monthly webinar/ ceremony of the year. It will be an opportunity to celebrate Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. A time to celebrate the darkness of winter and welcome in the light. Light and dark exist in harmony with one another. The darkness is a time to rest, integrate and gather our energies for new life and light to spring forth. What can we do to surrender to the long nights of winter, befriend the cold and prepare for the light to enter our days?
It is always darkest before the break of day. How can we use this as a symbol of hope and inspiration for our own lives? Humanity is struggling with a great deal of darkness right now, but by looking at nature we can be hopeful that the light is on it’s way.
This webinar will involve a few guided meditations involving chanting and rhythm work. The focus will be on surrendering to the long nights, breathing into whatever shadows we experience and opening up to the light of new possibilities in 2023.
People will be encouraged to share what 2022 meant for them and their hopes for 2023.
