AfriForum Jeug eis toegang tot die Noordwes-Universiteit se volledige ondersoekverslag oor die ontwrigting in die Eikenhof-vrouekoshuis verlede Sondag. Dit volg ná bewerings van 'n sangoma-seremonie in die koshuis, met studente wat ontstellende gille gerapporteer het. Die universiteit het intussen die bewering ontken, maar Yvonne Gerber van AfriForum vra egter 'n duidelike beleid oor kulturele praktyke in koshuise, deursigtigheid en trauma-ondersteuning vir studente wat geraak is:

AfriForum Jeug eis 'n ondersoek nadat 'n tradisionele geneser-seremonie in 'n vrouekoshuis by die Potchefstroomse kampus van die Noordwes-Universiteit uitgevoer is. Die groep sê die voorval, wat bestaan het uit harde gille en voorvaderlike gebede, het Saterdagaand gebeur en die ander studente ontstel. Yvonne Gerber van AfriForum Jeug wil hê die universiteit moet duidelike reëls instel oor kulturele praktyke in koshuise, berading verskaf en personeel oplei om studente se bekommernisse beter te hanteer.

Gogo Nomsa Sibeko, a traditional sangoma healer in South Africa, joins Robbie to talk about this rich tradition and - much like hunters - the many times inaccurate perception around them that comes out of Hollywood and movies. Robbie met Gogo back in November at the Custodians conference and was fascinated by her and the fact that she is facing the same stigmas as hunters are - that we pillage the environment for our own good. Along with her views on sustainability (she needs natural resources for her craft), Gogo discusses the human pressures surrounding them, and more!

In this episode, we are joined by Philiswa Makhaye, a traditional Zulu healer from South Africa. Initiated as a Sangoma at the age of 12, Philiswa has dedicated her life to ancestral communion, intergenerational healing and ancient earth-based spiritual wisdom.This conversation offers a rare glimpse into animistic spirituality, free from the limiting frameworks of non-animist worldviews. It continues a thread of enquiry explored in a recent episode with Dr Andy Letcher, who highlighted the animistic discourse as one of the most disruptive to the reductionist Western paradigm. Through Philiswa's insights, we delve into the deep relationality between the land, the ancestors and the healing traditions that have traversed across generations and cultures.Philiswa's presence at this year's Medicine Festival left a lasting impression, particularly during a powerful collective ceremony for peace, where wisdom keepers from around the world offered prayers from each cardinal direction. Her songful prayer, graciously recorded for this episode, is woven into the conversation - a gift to carry in your bones.For those who wish to experience the full, uninterrupted recording of Philiswa's prayer, it is uploaded on our patreon, available for all listeners. Additional meditations and resources are also available for those who wish to support the show. We have recently launched a free hour-long workshop on embodied deep ecology.  Bookings have now opened to join us at Earth Medicine, our signature ceremonial retreat.Support the show

My guest this week is South African born Janine Schuller - a Sangoma (African Medicine Women) & Prophet, initiated traditionally in the townships of Cape Town, by both the Zulu and Xhosa Tribes. Although she lives in Ireland with her Irish husband, she returns to the townships most years to meet her Tata (African Father) and enter into ceremony with her Ancestors. Janine shares how She was called to be a Sangoma and the ceremonies that took place in the townships were not always welcoming, but She formed a new family and tribe. She also shares her personal challenges through miscarriages and how accepting She would not be a Mother has brought her peace in her life now. Janine is most passionate about helping people build a relationship with themselves (to trust their intuition); their Ancestors (to know where their messages are coming from and trust them) and with others (to be of service in their own unique way).  She shares her own experiences in hope that those listening find their own inner Gentle Warrior and lead their own way. Janine is qualified as a Creative Mindfulness Kids Practitioner, has a Major Award in Early Childhood and Care Education and is currently upgrading her Special Needs Assistance training.  Although she isn't 100% sure where this training is taking her and the additional training she may be taking on, she is confident she is stepping firmly into an Advocator Role.

To cloud or not to cloud? That's the question many businesses are grappling with when it comes to their communication platforms. While the cloud offers numerous advantages, it also brings risks that may not align with your company's risk tolerance. Fortunately, there's another option. In this episode of AVANT Technology Insights, John Paullin, Sales Engineer and Senior Analyst at AVANT, is joined by Jeremy Wubs, Chief Operating Officer of Sangoma, to explore a lesser-known solution: the hybrid communication model. Discover what this model entails, its key benefits, who's adopting it, and more—all in this insightful discussion.  

Interview by Angela CroudaceThe music world is often dominated by Western narratives, but Botswana's Skinflint is challenging those narratives by carving out a unique space for African metal. Founded in late 2006, the band emerged with a vision to blend heavy metal with the richness of African culture and mythology. HEAVY spoke to the band's core members - Giuseppe Sbrana (guitar, vocals), Kebonye (bass), and Cosmos (drums) - to discuss their musical journey, influences, and the themes behind their latest album, Baloi.“Skinflint started with a simple idea: to tell the stories of Botswana and Africa, particularly the darker sides of our mythology that aren't often covered by Western media,” Giuseppe explained. “Africa is rich in history and tales, and we wanted to bring those narratives to life through metal.”The band's name, while catchy, lacks deep meaning. “It just sounded good,” Kebonye said with a chuckle. However, their mission is far from superficial. With a growing fan base across the globe, they have become a significant voice in the underground metal scene, sharing stories steeped in African folklore.Despite their passion, Skinflint has faced significant challenges in promoting their music in Africa. “In the beginning, many people didn't understand what we were trying to do,” Giuseppe admitted. “The metal scene here is small, and venues that support our music are rare. We've had to create our own opportunities.”They emphasize the necessity of collaboration among bands in Botswana, sharing resources to build their own stages and sound systems. “It's a DIY punk attitude,” Giuseppe noted, reflecting on the resilience of local artists. “But the hard work is worth it when we get on stage and share our stories.”Their latest album, Baloi, which translates to "witches" in Setswana, delves deep into Botswana's rich mythology. The title track addresses themes of love and betrayal, inspired by the legend of Lenswala Baratani - a tale of two lovers shunned by their tribe. “These stories are part of who we are,” Giuseppe stated. “We want to share them, even if they can be dark and unsettling.”Another standout track, Sangoma, explores the concept of blood magic and witchcraft. Kebonye explained, “We want to showcase our culture, the good and the bad. People fear what they don't understand, but we believe in the importance of telling these stories.”As Skinflint continues to gain traction internationally, they are often dubbed "Africa's heavy metal Gods." However, the band is quick to redirect the spotlight. “While we appreciate the recognition, there are so many great bands in Africa,” Giuseppe urged. “It's important for people to explore the diversity of African metal and the stories it has to offer.”Their dedication has resulted in a loyal following not just in Africa but worldwide. When I asked about future tours, the excitement was palpable. “We'd love to play in Australia,” Guiseppe exclaimed. “Just connect us with a promoter, and we'll be on the next plane!”At the heart of Skinflint's ethos is collaboration. Each member contributes to the songwriting process, with Giuseppe penning the lyrics while drawing on ideas from the band. “It's a family atmosphere,” he described. “We want to push each other to new heights, incorporating each member's strengths into our music.”As our conversation drew to a close, it was clear that Skinflint is more than just a band. They are storytellers, cultural ambassadors, and innovators in the heavy metal genre, determined to break boundaries and share the untold stories of Africa with the world. Their journey continues, one heavy riff at a time.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

John Lockley is a fully initiated and ordained Sangoma (African Shaman) in two lineages from South Africa, the Xhosa and Swazi nations. His Xhosa apprenticeship took 10 years and he was foreseen in a dream by his teacher, MaMngwevu, a senior Xhosa sangoma from the same tribe as Nelson Mandela, who inivted him to be her apprentice. He was one of the first modern white men in recent times after Apartheid to be awarded the title of 'Ligqira Linkulu' by his Xhosa elders, meaning senior sangoma. His Xhosa name given by his teacher is 'Ucingolweendaba', meaning 'the messenger or bridge between cultures'. He has pioneered the bridge between modern western Psychology and traditional South African healing. For the last 13 years he has been facilitating 'Ubuntu' (Humanity) and Way of the Leopard retreats worldwide, teaching people how they can reconnect to their Ancestors, Spirit and the Earth. A passion of John's is teaching people indigenous African medicine to help them reconnect to the earth. He facilitates this through his 'Dreams & Tracking' retreats in the Kalahari Desert every year, and 'Leopard Warrior trails' in south Africa. John holds an honors degree in Clinical Psychology. He is also a Zen meditation practitioner with over 30 years of experience. He took Buddhist precepts with Zen Master Su Bong from South Korea in 1992. John offers private divination and healing sessions online. He is the author of the book 'Leopard Warrior', and audio teachings 'The Way of the Leopard', both published by Sounds True.

Pluto Eclipse Radio…. The dedication is more impossible and more necessary…So we convene back-stage in the participatory imaginal realms to conjure the impossible necessary miracle vision…that we then (a la Haruki Murakami) open the sluice gates, and let the desirable pour into incarnational actuality ….

Michèle Rusconi erzählt im Interview mit Hörspielredakteurin Susanne Janson über ihre Expedition nach Südafrika, warum in ihrem Hörstück über den Quastenflosser auch der Bodensee und Christoph Marthaler mitspielen und wie das musikalische Archiv zum erträglichen Steinbruch wird. Ausstrahlung des Hörstücks "Gombessa tabou" am Samstag, 10. Juni 2023, 20 Uhr, Radio SRF 2 Kultur.  Dies ist ein Klangstück über den Coelacanth, den Quastenflosser, über Latimeria Chalumnae, den Urfisch, der 1938 zum globalen Megahit wurde, zum Symbol von Ausdauer und Widerstand, und dessen unerwartetes Auftauchen in einem Fischnetz an der Südküste Afrikas man erst für einen Witz hielt, nur um es dann als grösste wissenschaftliche Entdeckung des angehenden zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts zu feiern. Ein Hörstück an der Schnittstelle zeitgenössischer Musik und Wissenschaft mit einem lyrischen Essay und Narrativ, eine aufregende Geschichte über ein lebendes Relikt, Gedanken über das Anthropozän und die Widerstandsfähigkeit eines Fisches in einer sich verändernden Welt. „Und während ich im indischen Ozean an der Südküste Afrikas schwimme, denke ich an die Geschichte und Poesie dieses erstaunlich alten, widerstandsfähigen und ruhigen Fisches, und ich stelle mir vor, wie Hunderte Meter unter mir, unbeirrt und beharrlich, mein entfernter Verwandter und indirekter Vorfahre im Kreuzschritt über den Boden gleitet. Michèle Rusconi Die Schweizer Komponistin Michèle Rusconi hat sich mit unterschiedlichster Musik auseinandergesetzt und in mehreren Ländern und Kontinenten gelebt. 1979 war sie Mitglied des Basler Gamelan Orchesters. Sie reiste für mehrere Monate nach Bali und lernte dort Grantang und Joged Bumbung (Bambusinstrumente). Es folgte ein Studium am Berklee College of Music in Boston, (Piano Jazz), ein Bachelor of Performing Arts an der City University in New York, und eine dreizehn jährige Tätigkeit als Jazzpianistin. Im Jahr 2000 kehrte Michèle Rusconi zurück in die Schweiz und studierte Komposition bei Mathias Spahlinger an der Musikhochschule in Freiburg im Breisgau. Seit ihrem Master in Komposition in 2003 ist sie freischaffend, und ihre Musik wird von verschiedenen Ensembles in Europa und Amerika gespielt (Ensemble Phoenix Basel, Ensemble Meitar, Ensemble Aventure, Pellegrini Quartett, Amar Quartett, Ensemble Antipoden, New Juilliard Ensemble, Bugallo/Williams Duo und viele andere. In den letzten Jahren holte sich Michèle Rusconi vermehrt Inspiration für ihre Werke aus der Literatur wie aus wissenschaftlichen und nicht fiktionalen Texten. Dies führte zu ihrer ersten Taschenoper nach einem Theaterstück von Hanoch Levin für Sopran, Schauspieler und Ensemble, welche 2019 in Tel Aviv mit dem Meitar Ensemble uraufgeführt wurde. Es folgte eine zweite Taschenoper über Charles Darwin und dessen Reise auf der Beagle, angelehnt an Kurt Vonneguts Roman Galapagos und Jack Londons Before Adam. Italo Calvinos Cosmicomics, Kurzgeschichten über den Kosmos, dienten als Vorlage zu einem multimedialen Projekt für Schauspieler (Graham Valentine), Anna Clementi (Gesang), Projektionen und Trio qfwfq. Eine Zusammenarbeit mit Abril Padilla, wurde KOSMISONICS im Februar 2022 im Naturhistorischen Museum Basel uraufgeführt. Das Jahr 2022 stand ganz im Zeichen des Quastenflossers. Ein neues Hörstück, «from nutmeg to dodo», ein erneut von Pro Helvetia unterstütztes work in progress, befasst sich mit dem Aussterben des Dodo als direkte Konsequenz des holländischen Kolonialismus. Ein Stück über den Duft einer Nuss und eines flugunfähigen Vogel, über Macht und Gier, über die Zerstörung von Fauna und Flora und über ein verlorenes Paradies.

Makhosi Himi Gogo Thule is a devoted sangoma, diviner, prayer warrior, and healer. Sangoma is a Zulu term for a seer who brings forth messages from their ancestors to help or serve their community. This gift is a calling & a responsibility rooted in indigenous cultural knowledge. Makhosi's work acts as a bridge into shamanic ceremonial traditions from her lived cultural experiences guided by the elevated ancestors of her lineages from Burkina Faso, South Africa, & Ancient Kemet. Her healing practice is rooted in ancient African cosmologies, initiations & spiritual traditions that elevate our consciousness to return harmony within our inner and outer nature. She walks the path of a wisdom keeper devoted to preserving and honoring the ancestral way of healing.Makhosi details her initiation, where In the Ubungoma tradition is called Ukuthwasa and is a process of cleansing, releasing, death, and rebirth. Similar with the monk path, there are protocols throughout the day that need to be fulfilled, such as dressing up in certain colors, working with plant medicines and different cleanses, and doing prayers, dances, and songs of the tradition. This opens the dreaming tradition wherein you move through this process of cleansing that opens your dreams, lets you see your ancestors who give you instructions, and show you things about yourself that you need to see and understand in order to move on to the next phase of your life. There's no final date; when you're shown and the elders see that you're seeing what you're supposed to be seeing at that moment, then you pass through the next gate or space and graduate. However, for Makhosi, there's no such thing as graduation and that life itself is an initiation.   What we discuss: 01:08 – Introducing Makhosi03:39 – The Time of the Feminine for Makhosi06:26 – Remembrance09:19 – Truth for Makhosi12:03 – Inspiration to Keep Going15:19 – Makhosi's Initiation18:15 – Dreams and the Dreamworld20:54 – Difficulty in Dreaming23:51 – Elders in Society28:41 – The Makhosi Foundation32:59 – Makhosi Embodied37:08 – The Truth and Truly Listening40:51 – Healing in Our Culture44:57 – The Healing of Togetherness49:18 – Helping Others Free Themselves51:46 – Motherhood1:00:05 – Makhosi in Behalf of the Great Mother To amplify your health with GoddessWell products, go to Goddesswell.co to and use the code SISTERHOOD at checkout to buy one and get one free!   Sign up for Moon School a 29-day meditation journey beginning on the New Moon on June 17: https://www.globalsisterhood.org/moon-school   Learn more from Makhosi:   Websites:https://www.makhosistarmother.comhttps://www.makhosifoundation.org   Instagram: http://instagram.com/makhosi_starmother Ancestral Dreams, Omens & Prophecies Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5Ld3jfqdgiBstAKO89nwNF   To follow us on Instagram, @theglobalsisterhood @Laurenelizabethwalsh @shainaconners

John Keith Kelley Lockley joins us for Season 1 (2021) of Birdsong. John is a fully initiated shaman, or sangoma, in the Xhosa lineage of South Africa - the same tribe that gave us Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. Traditional healers or shamans (sangomas) of the Xhosa People of South Africa use sacred ceremonies involving herbs, songs and trance rhythms to connect with the ancestors and the natural world to encourage a profound remembering and honoring of the human spirit. John is unique in being initiated in three timeless traditions: African Shamanism as a Xhosa Sangoma, Yoga and Zen Buddhism, and he also holds a degree in Clinical Psychology. He's the author of the book, Leopard Warrior, and the audiobook, The Way of the Leopard, which you can find over at Amazon, through his publisher, Sounds True, or you can head directly to his website to find out more about him and his work. Connect with John: www.johnlockley.com   TIMESTAMPS: [2:42] John opens our conversation with a beautiful traditional chant [6:22] “As sangomas, we dream…” [7:23] Don't think the sacred; feel it [9:53] “What good is your own enlightenment when the birds are dying…?” - John's passion for the wilderness [10:22] Spirituality and apprenticeship are about giving; being in service [13:10] What does it mean to be connected to your soul and the sacred inside of you? [15:10] The importance of clarifying intention, connecting to heartbeat, devotional practices of giving thanks and choosing our humanity [18:14] The alchemy and rise of the umbilini (similiar to kundalini) [21:15] Has your yoga studio watered their plants recently? [22:24] Tending the gardens of our own hearts [25:06] Swimming with great white sharks off the coast of South Africa [29:14] As the Zen Masters would say: “Why do you eat everyday???” [29:45] Becoming a shaman or a traditional sangoma is painful [31:28] Every animal is a reflection of us in some way… and has something to teach us [32:16] The archetypal symbolism, alchemy and medicine of the salmon [34:23] Falling in love with the rhythm of our heart pulse [37:48] How is the land speaking to you? [38:40] The electric nature of the body; the spine as a lightning rod [41:46] The heartbeat as a magical spring; a spiritual gateway into another world [46:10] What is divination? Divination is to read the soul… [49:45] What is John's prayer for self, family and the world? [51:09] Fatherhood and motherhood from the perspective and life experience of a sangoma [53:25] The medicine of lightheartedness and silliness and playing music with your children [56:55] John's 1:1 mentoring, private sessions and monthly ceremonies

The nature of African spirituality is such that it involves not just the acknowledgment of the existence of the spiritual realm but also the existence of amadlozi and spiritual forces and the individualized encounters that we have with them in our daily lives. What is strange though is that as African spirituality continues to grow […]

During the African Apartheid, Black and White people's lives were completely separated, and so was their medicine. The Medicine Doctor, The Sangoma (Zulu name for Shaman), was accepted and used by half the population while the other half of the population thought it was nonsense. Now, the Sangoma is recognized by the Government of Africa as official healers and their craft as a certified healing modality. The mysticism and healing paradigm of Africa will be explored and experienced through my guest today, Lionel Friedberg, who was born and grew up in South Africa. His new book, ‘Forever In My Veins', brings us on his journey of how being a filmmaker led him to the mysterious world of the African Shaman, how they predicted his life and in the end, how they saved his life. Our lives, the world and the cosmos are stranger and more wonderful than we can ever imagine.
