HEALER’S CONVERSATION CIRCLE
27 March 2025 at 17:00
FIRESIDE CONVERSATION CIRCLE for shared wisdom
Inviting voices of healers to this indaba on “The Wounded Healer” archetype.
Join us in this fireside conversation circle in the beautiful indigenous garden of the Phakalane Retreat space. Anchored by Tanith Christie Scott and Dizu Plaatjies, we also welcome the voices of healers, homeopaths, priests, rites of passage caretakers, and all inspired to contribute in kind authenticity.
”The Wounded Healer” concept raises key issues in today’s world where being a “healer” is a more and more commonly used title. How do healers ensure they heal from a healed space? How do we live within this role in our society, which includes many resource-strapped realities, and balance the sacredness of this task with the need for earning? These and more relevant questions get discussed so we can learn from the wisdom in circle.
Tickets are per donation.
