Navigating Trauma and Grief - 06/05/2020 - 17H00
From Ubuntu Perspective - I am because we are
LINK: https://zoom.us/j/97416712535
Trauma is both individual and a collective experience. This process is to investigate how these entailed traumas live inside each of us, and to come together to consciously work on healing our collective traumas - both the crisis we currently face and the traumas inherited from generations past.
Times of stress predictably trigger previous trauma and old ingrained coping strategies; our habitual ways of living are being disrupted, which triggers a lot of stress and fear. Even before the global pandemic, we were living with the effects of unrecognised collective trauma, including systemic problems such as racial and economic injustice, and even climate crisis. Now due to the global pandemic, collective trauma is more evident - our challenge is to be still enough to dive into our grief and process it, creating a possibility to turn this moment of crisis into an evolutionary opportunity.
Connecting with Our Ancestors - 14/05/2020 - 17H00
From Ubuntu Perspective - I am because we are

Ancestral communication has been an ancient practice in every wisdom tradition throughout time. Communities are built around the dreams of the old ancestors and visions of the future ancestors. It is also firmly believed that our ancestors live within us in a form of our DNA, their dreams, memories and traumas are stored within us. We are never alone or seperated. In Africa today the Indigenous teachings of connecting and healing with our ancestors still plays a vital role in the growth of an individual and society at large. We will create a sacred space process based on the principles of Ubuntu for those who wish to journey into a deeper understanding in a gentle and loving way.
The Importance of Ritual - 20/05/2020 - 17H00
From Ubuntu Perspective - I am because we are
LINK: https://zoom.us/j/92517268549
The act of ritual is a common thread that has linked humanity throughout the ages,regardless of ethnicity, culture or religion. Rituals motivate and move us. Through ritual we build families and community, we make transitions and mark important events in our lives, we express ourselves in joy and sorrow, and perhaps, most importantly, we create and sustain identity. People engage in rituals with the intention of achieving a wide set of desired outcomes, from reducing their anxiety to boosting their confidence, alleviating their grief to performing well in a competition – or even making it rain. Recent research suggests that rituals may be more rational than they appear. Why? Because even simple rituals can be extremely effective.While some may dismiss the practice as old fashioned, the act of ritual is an essential part of the human condition that remains with us today, simply, because it seems to work.What’s more, rituals appear to benefit even people who claim not to believe that rituals work. We will explore why ritual is important and what are the vital stages in a person's life that need ritual and share examples.
