A special greeting to all those new subscribers! And to all of you who regularly read my newsletters, THANK YOU ! 🙏
What a journey the last 6 months have been for me. I got Covid, experienced some powerful ceremonies in South Africa, went foraging with Bushmen in the Kalahari & tracked octopus underwater in the Kelp forests around Cape Point. I am currently integrating a powerful adventure that I have just completed in South Africa. I feel blessed to continue to realise a dream of mine to walk with the Bushmen people in the Kalahari desert. We completed our 5th retreat. We tracked wild animals on foot, foraged for medicinal plants and found new medicine for dreaming and to create peace. I also lead my largest retreat ever in South Africa with a group of folks from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
I would like to share a few words around the theme of my upcoming monthly webinar, Creating Sacred Rituals, Space & Altars, on Saturday 28th May. This is my final webinar in this series. Don’t worry if you missed the last 2 because I will be summing up the teachings on creating sacred rituals, space & altars. In a way this sums up my Sangoma journey over the last 25 years.
I have been creating sacred altars since 2008 when I was first called to bring sangoma teachings overseas. It is amazing what can be created with a white candle and earth! The dreams, stories and community feeling or what we call ‘Ubuntu’ in South Africa, have been profound and very humbling. Through this series of webinars I intend to share some of my experience & teachings from leading international retreats in a circle around an earth altar. I created altars in all the main centers in the world; New York, Dublin, London, Tokyo, Mexico, Amsterdam, Montréal, Vancouver & the rural areas of Zululand, South Africa and most recently the Kalahari desert in Botswana.
An altar is easy to make. Encouraging people to step into the circular portal of timelessness is challenging. How can we do this together? Join me for this important webinar.
NB: This webinar is part of a monthly webinar subscription of $30 per month. You can cancel at anytime.
