Teacher: Nomfundo Zama and Nomzamo Mji
Cost: 2 days accommodation + R400 surcharge
Dates:
 The rate and scale of calamity can make us feel powerless. This retreat reminds us that we are not. 'Dreaming is a Birthright' creates a sacred space where dreaming becomes a tool for hope, connection, and guidance and emphasizes that dreaming is more than rest - it is an active dialogue with ancestors, spirit, and self. It is our birthright to be guided and held by our dreams. Honouring African spiritual traditions, we will help participants harness their dreams for personal empowerment, deeper self-awareness and alignment with their life's purpose. As we delve in, we unlock dreams as ancestral messages and tools for healing. Our dreams connect us to our ancestors and the collective that dreams through us. Our dreams birth the new world.
Join us for a transformative experience that honours African spirituality and reclaims dreaming as an inherent birthright, providing tools to navigate your spiritual journey with clarity and purpose. The retreat will incorporate mindful movement, breath and body, techniques for dream recall and interpretation, healing circles and meditation.
Nomzamo Mji, an integrative yoga teacher, will be co-facilitating the retreat.
View teacher details Hide teacher details Nomfundo, whose name means 'Mother of Knowledge,' carries the ancestral name Mkabayi kaGcugcwa, symbolizing a profound calling of both feminine and masculine energy.

As a seasoned herbalist, spiritual healer, and founder of Initiate Wellness, she integrates traditional African healing practices with modern holistic approaches. Her work merges ancestral knowledge with present ways of living and knowing, empowering individuals through herbal medicine, energy healing, and conversational therapy. She creates inclusive spaces that honor indigenous knowledge, encouraging participants to explore their inner selves and reconnect with their cultural heritage, founded on her core belief that all roads lead home.
