Awaken to the Ancient Teachings of Africa!

Today we might feel helpless in the face of a nameless invisible virus that is wreaking havoc with our lives. How can we reclaim our power? In South Africa we often see illness as a spiritual calling, a call from the spirit world, from mother nature herself to encourage us to reconnect with what is important in our lives.

This Webinar will focus on ancient South African practices:

  • to calm the spirit in the form of ‘Heart-Beat Meditation’ (inner drum beat)

  • to connect to spirit - how to pray effectively to nature including your blood and bones i.e. your Ancestors

  • to energise the spirit, in the form of chanting and trance dancing i.e. shaking medicine

  • Finally, to listen in the form of working with our Dreams

John will be speaking live from South Africa in the Eastern Cape. He will lead the webinar like a ceremony with drumming and singing in isiXhosa. People will be encouraged to connect to their spirit, Ancestors and nature. What participants will receive will depend on how they pray, humble themselves and open their hearts to nature and the world around them.

As an added Bonus John will teach people an important chant from Africa, i.e. ‘Sondela Mama’, meaning ‘come closer’ great Mother. This is very nurturing and comforting, a soothing balm in our turbulent days.

P.S. If for any reason you can't make the designated time, don't worry, you will receive an audio recording after the webinar has ended.
