 Teachings Ceremonies and Divination: with John Lockley, Xhosa Sangoma/Shaman October 4 through the 12th, 2012 Brooklyn and Manhattan NY I am so happy to introduce my friend John Lockley to you, my intuitive community. I began working with John this summer and I can say that he is one of the true authentic seers that we all benefit from working with. 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 Lockley is a fully initiated and trained Sangoma entrusted to bring traditional Xhosa medicine to anyone seeking this sacred remembering and connection. I am helping John organize this leg of his trip, so you can contact me about any of the NY venues. I highly encourage you to experience John's work. |
