According to the Dagara cosmology of West Africa, this is a Nature Year. Nature is a teacher of transformation, of stepping into your authentic self, of truth. As a Nature person (born in a Nature year) I’ve found my niche working as a facilitator and healer – witnessing transformation.
Last year, when not in Hout Bay, I spent time grounding myself in my new garden beside Clanwilliam dam. I’ve watched the trees, transplanted from the old garden (expropriated because of the new dam level) take root and grow. When the landscaper first suggested transplanting I was hesitant. Then I decided I would divine on what the trees wanted.
I was told in the Stick Divination that each tree would tell me if it wanted to move or not. The trees that said yes wanted a specific ritual to be performed before their move, and to be replanted in the same direction.
Twenty-two of the wild olive trees, that I’d planted in the early 2000’s, were transplanted. I did not realise that as many would be moved so at the last minute I had to select another 3 trees. Those 3 and one other did not survive the move. Makes me appreciate the magic at work.
Constellation Circle – Blind Love
When I return from the bush there are always a few photos that jump out at me as I flip through my many many photos. This is one of them. The eyes of this cub speak (to me) of its love for the lioness walking past. The whole pride looked like it was in need of a good meal (there was a large herd of buffalo and several herds of impala nearby.) At this age, the cub still needs the adults in the pride to supply food for its survival.
In Family Constellations we speak of blind love that a child has for its parent. The child will do anything to belong in order to ensure survival in the family. In the state of this magical love, we take on things belonging to parents or ancestors trusting we will make everything right.
As an adult, this can come at a cost to us. We no longer need our family for survival yet we often forget these deep promises we made. Family Constellations is a process to help one honour and release this blind love to bring about healing.
As with all Constellation Circles, we will start with a constellation exercise in groups of 2 or 3 exploring this theme of blind love contracts.
Divinations
“Divination clarifies the meaning of the Soul’s quest and sheds light to the obstacles to overcome on the way to successful living. In other words, divination does not just tell you what is going on in your life; it tells you what you need to do in order to flow into your gifts and fulfil your purpose.” Malidoma Patrice Somé
I have not yet found the words to describe Stick Divinations so sharing these words. I find the work profound.
If this speaks to you, please contact me to book an appointment for a Stick Divination. I work online and in person.
I continue to offer Intuitive Energy Healing and one-on-one Family Constellations sessions from my healing space in Hout Bay
The gift of Covid was the shift to online work – and knowing that working this way is just as powerful as in person.
While in Clanwilliam I facilitate online one-on-one constellations.
I offer online distant Energy Healing only from Hout Bay as my large collection of crystal allies is so much part of my energy healing work.
I will be adjusting my rates effective 1 March 2023.
