Choreography by Cebo Zuma
Movement becomes a language of remembrance
echoing ancestral knowledge and collective healing.
Sa-Nya-Ngoma honors the legacy of Ngoma master practitioners throughout Southern Africa – both known and unnamed – whose wisdom lives on in every beat and breath.
“A deep listening experience, a celebration of Southern African musical mastery,
and a spiritual offering led by Indigenous Frequency.
Rooted in the sacred traditions of the Nguni and AbaMbo peoples, “Sa” refers to the Master, and “Ngoma”
to the sacred arts of sound, movement, and divination.
A performance which is both a tribute and a living continuation of those lineages —
an interplay of rhythm, vibration, and ancestral memory”.
Makhosi AmaKhulu
This invitation was a divine tribute paying homage
to the unfolding of Ritual & Reverence
As higher octaves of vibration were reached, integrating and honouring those that came before us
and the continuation of life itself across “time” “space”.
Listening to Thixo and AmaDlozi, marinading in these sacred transmissions of healing, honouring and restoration.
We began fine tuning our innate divine rhythm and nature.
Opening the gates into the 8:8 portal.
Stepping into A-lion-ment and crossing the threshold into Ceremonial time!
Setting clear intentional prayers into the ethers. The wind softly kissed and whispered divine incantations across the prayer flags.
We felt and acknowledged the pain in our bodies from the women carried over eons.
Enshrouded by the mountains, animals and abundant landscape, we received a gentle nod from the land and elementals,
as we approached and greeted the Gatekeeper.
With each conscious step we approached the gentle running crystal clear waters for purification, healing, restoration and untying loose ends. Gentle observing the obstacles to come into divine balance and reconciliation.
Peace and serenity. Embarking on new beginnings, into Becoming & Re-mem-ber-ing
A divine covenant and Sacred Agreement with a Higher Reality. Invocations and devotion, trusting the unfolding.
Flowing like water.
“I come as one but stand as 10,000”
Maya Angelo
With our directional allies, we honoured and welcomed all parts. As the waters cleansed each cell with imprinted memory. The well-groomed auburn horses stood firmly as guardians along the river banks. The fluidity of the gently water assisted in deep breaths and letting go. Relaxing into the water, as she held us so tenderly.
Feeling the epiphanies and epic shifts during the wild Leo season, we reflected upon the sacred weeks during the wild and fiery times.
The wind signalled as she began her turning. We made our way towards the Fire Keeper.
As we all gathered around the roaring warm fire. Conscious men showed up for all the women in reverence to their mothers, sisters, wives, daughters and their lineages of women, across all “time”.
Mother IshCacao was waiting under at the sacred temple, dressed in flowers. Everyone gathered holding her close to their hearts with devotional intent. Freshly picked flowers, with their unique geometric colour symbolized divine love and the softness from our mother.
Each petal was imprinted as unique stories on our Ancestral faces. With every conscious sip taken it flowed like rivers into our veins, expanding and deepening our hearts.
In silent unison we moved into the womb of our Divine Mother. Bowing at the doorway as we crawled into her cosy womb. Sitting in spirals, we began devotional incantations. We could hear the elementals and winds of change outside. Rustling as a heavy storm was brewing with every-thing moving in motion.
Sacred prayers were sung, whilst the sizzling rocks whispered cedar into her womb. The Fire Keeper was calm, focused and balanced.
He consciously presented each rock with such strength and honouring as the harmonic divine masculine voices echoed in the mountains.
The rain danced on the canopy, as a sacred acknowledgement.
ROARING into the ethers in all directions, welcoming the fire to forge into a stronger, steadier, more centred and profoundly creative
versions of becoming. The alchemy that turns struggle into strength.
Vulnerability of no hiding, stepping into boldness, into the courageous Lion/lioness self.
Gift of Grace is acknowledging we never walk alone. Been held in a wider community, filled with like-minded souls with a lot of
unconditional love and compassion.
As we completed the medicine wheel and exiting the womb. The waters were calling for emergence. The awakening, rebirth and renewal.
Bowing in gratitude to all directions, we gave our final offerings as devotion to the excited, playful animals.
We began our next journey to return to our hOMe’s and communities, taking the ignited fire within our hearts hOMe! The beautiful weaving, with all the grandmothers, mending and repairing the threads for generations to come. All infused with LOVE.
The hOMe fires kept burning, as the children anxiously awaited the stories mother was bringing hOMe. She realised sharing invites more spiritual systems and deeper grounding into her hOMe. Welcome! Tapping into her inner reservoir of resiliency. Adapting growth and thriving. Now grounded in spiritual self sufficiency.
This recalibration was a divine invitation to be still. To listen deeply to the unfolding and her inner voice. Clarity now informs her choices. Living a life of purpose and integrity.
“The Great RESET”.
Weeks of integration, deeper listening as Mother IshCacao and other beautiful sacred herbs shared bedtime stories
and dream-scapes.
Another key turned, Divine synchronising…YES…Amitabha. Walking up the pathway of oak trees, lit by golden lanterns, as the drum playing to the gentle fire. Welcoming in another Divine Boundless Blessing. We drank from the offerings of golden saffron waters, poured out of copper adornments. Grace entered again with infinite light and peace. Imbued with a lot of humour and laughter…utter joy! For how can we take every-thing so seriously!
The holy mountains and chocolate waterfall were calling for family time, union and a coming together to share the weeks of divine unfolding.
As we journeyed into the mountain, the way was clear and the gates were open.
Welcomed by the Giant Guardians of the Threshold. “wel-come”.
Bearing gifts for our unconditional mother, planting fresh flowers, seeds and more. Acknowledging all she had endured over the months. Knowing it was all as it should be in her natural cycle. Honouring her journey of renewal. We stood in awe of the synchronised stories, as the land mirrored back the restoration from the fire, regeneration and rebirth. This is how the Great Masterpiece reveals. For no-thing is individuated.
The children were excited touching the Giants along the path as we walked “the long way to freedom.”
We reached the waterfall noticing a lot had been eroded and found our way to the still waters. Oh my, the waters were flowing like liquid gold, a carbon copy of the saffron, liquid gold we drank 3 days prior. The clouds had passed revealing blue skies, reminding us everything passes. And we like the blue skies, awareness itself. True nature.
The untold stories were shared at the waters with ongoing offerings, laughter and joy in what mother was showing us.
Transmuting the bitterness into what was lost and all the grievances, awakened an inner clarity, deep release and purge.
Letting go of the bitter stories, where pure joy always resides.
We made our way to the highest peak roaring our intentions into the ethers showering spice and all things nice.
Welcoming in peace for all Be-ings.
All resting in a deeper knowing of fundamental connection for she is part of a greater whole.
Embodying this profound mature liberation, awakening her innate potential to pursue her dreams and values, guided by her
authentic inner compass.
Embracing the Alchemy of Courage. Hello integrated self! Welcome kindness and compassion. This embrace of her seeing her full spectrum, opened her heart even deeper into wisdom and internal strength.
The fertile ground is laid for a journey of deeper self-discovery. What an honour to witness the transformation of becoming, as the
white butterfly eloquently sits on her head.
Honouring each step… Beautiful days. Beautiful communities. Beautiful rituals.
