John will be in the Van Kleek Hill area (Ontario, Canada) over the weekend to offer private (individual) Divination sessions on Sun 22nd (11am to 1:15pm) & a Plant Healing (group) Ceremony (2-4pm).
Sun 22nd 11am - 1:15pm & Mon 23rd
DIVINATION SESSIONS: ’THROWING THE BONES’
As a traditional Sangoma John is a trained ‘diviner’ and he receives messages from the ancestral world through dreams, trance dancing and ‘throwing the bones’.
Each individual session is a ceremony where John chants in isiXhosa and creates a circle with tobacco and chants the names of the clients’ ancestors into the circle. As the bones fall, they create a constellation, representing the client’s life. John will speak about the constellation, the strengths and challenges of the seeker. In keeping with the Sangoma way, John often gives home-work involving private ceremonies/rituals or meditations which the client is encouraged to do on their own.
NB: These are not fortune telling sessions, but rather sessions to help people discover their gifts, and overcome their challenges. The power of these sessions is dependent on the client’s intention to work on themselves. John is simply a guide. The stronger the client's intention to realise their destiny or life path, the more energy is 'given to the bones'.
Suitable for:
Anyone searching for more direction in their lives, and a way to connect to their bones (ancestors).
2 pm -4 pm
Plant Healing Ceremony
John will be leading 2 different plant purification ceremonies.
1) Plant Cleansing Ritual
Plant Cleansing Ceremony
Clients place their feet in a mixture of plant medicine and warm water. They soak their feet for about 20 minutes. During this time John chants in isiXhosa, rattles and encourages the client to listen to their heart beat. Heat in the form of either incense or moxa sticks is applied to the soles of the feet to aid the flow of energy. Plant healing occurs over three days. The first occurs with John, then the plant mixture is given to the clients and John demonstrates how to use the simple mixture at home for days 2 & 3.
Suitable for:
People who are suffering from fatigue; trauma, emotional or physical.
These plant cleanses are also very helpful to aid in Dream recall.
*** Plant ceremonies are used by traditional healers throughout Southern Africa to cleanse the spirit and help people connect to their ancestors and dreams.
