In this episode I speak with South African Sangoma John Lockley.

John speaks to his powerful pathway of calling & initiation into the Xhosa tradition healing, and the bridging of different cultures. He talks about the importance of connecting the ancestors (12:30 - 18:00 ) and including ALL ancestors in our prayers and ritual work.

John refers to colonisation and the Irish ancestral legacy of ancestral pain through poverty and survival trauma. We also speak about listening to the natural world and the animals, particularly the dream & nature tracking retreats John holds in the Kalahari Desert each year (41:00 onwards) 

PLEASE GIFT YOURSELF THE WITH TUNING UNTIL THE END AS JOHN SHARES A POWERFUL INVOCATION & XHOSA BLESSING.

ABOUT JOHN: John Lockley is an ancestrally trained and initiated Xhosa South African Sangoma (Shaman) and one of the first white men in recent history to have been invitied into this lineage to train. He was called to this pathway through initiatory illness which led him to be recognised by his teacher. He is author of Leopard Warrior: A Journey into the African Teachings of Ancestry, Instinct, and Dreams. John facilitates retreats in the Kalahari desert yearly and works with people in private practice and groups throughout the world.
