Free Spirit Night walksThe Free the Spirit - take a night walk . Make it a regular habit for your wellness! In today's busy world few people find time to commune with nature and reap the rewards. As we walk among the trees, listen to the birds and breathe in the fresh air, we clear our mind, free our spirit and energise our well being. |

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Last night I looked into the round face of the moon she smiled and beckoned me come "Come with me" she said "Come on a journey A journey through time and space And I will reveal to you your own journey" Her round face was insistent! As I climbed through the window I grew wings and flew I flew back to a time and space when my spirit soared Soared above the clouds Time when I laughed from the belly A time when men knew how to be men And women rejoiced in their womanhood! She said, "Open your eyes my child Do not be afraid to look at yourself If you are to recognise truth in your own face! Sing my child", she said, "Sing". I looked I sang and I danced Suddenly, I heard the rising rhythm of the drum I saw nibble hands caressing the tight skin of drums Hips wise to the rhythm of Mother earth gyrated to the beat of the drum And the pounding of feet I watched. I saw and i was happy written by Nne Dimela Yekwai(c)2020 from her book STOLEN LOVE lost jigida reclaimed |

OCTOBER 2020 a beautiful month of celebrating my melanin rich spirit: Libation for liberation sister circle dawn to dusk, on a full moon, on a blue moon, during all souls, 31st October 2021, was a powerful night of divine feminine ancestral energy. At 7.30am, morning time, the sisters were reluctant to leave the woods. Beautiful! See you next year. Griot Chinyere storytelling at Waterman's Arts centre 28th, 29th & 30th October with more than half the shows being SOLD OUT another spiritually and beautifully successful event! Ubuntu Saturday coffee morning that was in fact on Monday 26th October 2021 where Griot Chinyere talked about the origins of the oral traditions of storytelling. That event raised £150, which she divided between Ubuntu who educate, empower and love young people and their families and the One day care centre for disabled Ethiopian children and their families run by my beautiful sister Mena Okugbeni. Afrakan storytelling workshop with Griot Chinyere at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama Learning Skills another SOLD OUT event. |
