  <description>What if the departed, those we once held dear and even strangers from generations past, are still with us, not only waiting to comfort us, but eager to collaborate with us on creating miracles in our lives.
Perdita Finn author of one of my favorite books The Way of the Rose, is here to talk to me about her new book Take Back The Magic, about the  wisdom our ancient ancestors embraced, a wisdom that has been suppressed for millennia by religious authorities who wanted to mediate our interactions with the other side in order to retain power over us.
Reclaiming our direct intimacy with these relationships can give us unshakeable confidence, empowered intuition, a liberated imagination, and the ability to make miracles happen in the world around us.
In this context, miracles are not supernatural feats, but natural, organic occurrences available to everyone. They’re simple yet profound moments of connection, of feeling supported, loved, and understood in ways we seldom experience in our day-to-day lives.
In this eye-opening episode you’ll hear about how profound healing awaits you when you reconnect with your ancestors, allowing you to tap into a sense of belonging and an understanding that comes from recognizing that you are part of a continuum — a cycle of life and death that has neither beginning nor end but is an eternal dance.
In this episode: 
* Rediscovery of ancestral wisdom
* Impact of fear and its tactical usage in control
* The regular occurrence of miracles and revisiting what that means
* Death, forgiveness, and continuation of relationships beyond death
* The detrimental effect of domestication on civilization
* Navigating trauma and initiating healing with our ancestors' help
* Overcoming fear of hauntings and realigning perspectives on manifestations of the dead
ps: Join Perdita on Wednesday, July 12, when she’ll help you open to the realization thatyou are spirit,you’re surrounded by the spirits of your ancestors, and that both the living and the dead are here to work together to create miracles.
Find out that the dead are ready and waiting to help you on your healing journey
Understand that miracles are organic, natural, and accessible to everyone
See that you are never alone — no one dies alone and no one lives alone because the dead are a constant presence in our lives
Unearth and*reclaim the suppressed wisdom of your ancestors
Recognize that seeds and miracles alike grow in the dark, so there’s no need to fear either the dead or the darkness

  <description>What happens when you hear your ancestors call?
UBIZO is a lyrical and passionate invitation to answer that call and find inner healing by following your truth and listening to the brave and untamed heart beating within you.
My beautiful guest, Christa Buthelezi, is an American-born woman who made her way from the darkness of childhood abuse to claiming the life she was meant for. She found that life with her Zulu soul family in South Africa - the family she never knew she had. 
In this episode, we explore what it means to follow the whispers of your heart and to trust it to show you the way home - even if it’s all the way on the other side of the world - and what it takes to listen. In addition, we cover ground on the following and so much more! 
The connection between creativity and spirituality
The gifts of a difficult childhood
The main differences between life in the States and in South Africa (comfort and discomfort)
Spiritual principles and practices that guide Christa’s work
The beauty and strength of becoming who we are rather than who we were told we should be. And how that would ultimately change the world.
Why the concept of race is a social construct and how to know. 
Christa Buthelezi is an author, creative, and guide whose work focuses on supporting people as they become themselves fully and well. Her first book, UBIZO: A Story of Coming Home (https://smile.amazon.com/UBIZO-Coming-Christa-Gumede-Buthelezi/dp/B09KNCZW4C/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1642557343&amp;amp;sr=1-1), tells her own story of finding her way from her upbringing in the United States to her current life in KwaZulu-Natal and the discoveries she's made along the way. She is now living happily ever after in a magic forest with her family and a host of birds, wildlife, and three somewhat domesticated dogs.

    <![CDATA[<p>What happens when you hear your ancestors call?</p>

<p>UBIZO is a lyrical and passionate invitation to answer that call and find inner healing by following your truth and listening to the brave and untamed heart beating within you.</p>

<p>My beautiful guest, Christa Buthelezi, is an American-born woman who made her way from the darkness of childhood abuse to claiming the life she was meant for. She found that life with her Zulu soul family in South Africa - the family she never knew she had. </p>

<p>In this episode, we explore what it means to follow the whispers of your heart and to trust it to show you the way home - even if it’s all the way on the other side of the world - and what it takes to listen. In addition, we cover ground on the following and so much more! </p>

<ul>
<li>The connection between creativity and spirituality</li>
<li>The gifts of a difficult childhood</li>
<li>The main differences between life in the States and in South Africa (comfort and discomfort)</li>
<li>Spiritual principles and practices that guide Christa’s work</li>
<li>The beauty and strength of becoming who we are rather than who we were told we should be. And how that would ultimately change the world.</li>
<li>Why the concept of race is a social construct and how to know. </li>
</ul>
