Please join us for an exciting 2 day workshop that will focus on reconnecting people to Nature through traditional, indigenous practices of dreaming, medicinal plants and heartbeat meditations.  ‘Ubuntu’ is a Xhosa word that means “humanity”.  This workshop is suitable for people with some shamanic knowledge and/or serious shamanic seekers.   On day 1 of this workshop (11/10/2012 from 12:3pm – 8:30pm), John will teach us to connect with our Ancestors in the Sangoma way.  In the middle of the room an altar will be constructed containing sacred objects from the participants.  This will begin the process of deepening the connection to spirit.  Participants will be taught Xhosa chants to facilitate their deepening relationship with their ancestors and the Spirit World.  In the plant blessing ceremony, John uses a sacred Xhosa Sangoma mixture to help people connect more deeply the Spirit World.  John will offer it to each participant who will wash their faces with this deep, white foamy mixture with a strong herbal smell.  Neither hallucinogens nor psychoactive substances are used in the mixture.  John mixes the Plant Medicine with group singing to build the spiritual energy of the group to enhance the potency of the medicinal plant wash.   On day 2 (11/11/2012 from 12:30 – 8:30pm), most of the day will be spent discussion participant’s dreams.  John will offer instruction and simple techniques that can be used in your personal practice.
