ONLINE TEACHING WITH JOHN LOCKLEY - CONNECT TO YOUR BONES (ANCESTORS)

Join Senior Sangoma John Cingolweendaba Lockley for 3 Zoom sessions from 2 pm to 3.30 pm New York time (7 pm London/ UK), 11am to 12:30pm Pacific time, on Friday 16th August, Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th. Special Investment of $125 .

Connecting to your bones means to acknowledge and honor those who made you who you are – your ancestors. Your ancestors are your blood ancestors, your lineage ancestors, the nature spirits and other elemental beings. In the African Shamanic tradition, your ancestors are a source of insight and healing. They help us to live life in a meaningful and dignified way.

In this 3-part online teaching, Senior Sangoma John Lockley will explain and demonstrate ways to connect with your ancestors. This will help you to live your full potential and move towards your destiny in this life. It connects you with your life force.

Each online training session will be 90min including time for question and answer. Sessions 1 and 2 will be recorded and an audio recording will be shared with all participants within 72 hrs of each session. Session 3 will be interactive and involve group participation and dream sharing. To help people fully open up and speak, that session will not be recorded. Participants are asked to keep a dream journal throughout the duration of this course.
