IMPORTANT WELLBEING NOTE
Journey to Self is a facilitated creative reflection and wellbeing experience. It is not psychotherapy or a substitute for counselling, psychological support or other professional mental-health care.
The experience may touch on identity, emotions and lived experience. Participants are always encouraged to honour their own boundaries.
Come as you are.
Your story has been waiting for you.
CHOOSE YOUR EXPERIENCE
Quick challenge
Try to introduce yourself without telling us your job, qualifications, relationship status or what everybody depends on you to do.
Did your mind suddenly go blank?
Exactly.
Journey to Self is coming—and no, you do not need to have yourself figured out.
No perfect answers.
No artistic talent required.
No serious face - this is compulsory.
Just bring the person underneath all the introductions.
Journey to Self: The First Leg is an immersive arts and healing experience created by Jika Uluntu NPC through Voices of Ubuntu.
For one evening, step away from the titles, responsibilities and expectations that shape everyday life—and make space for the person beneath them.
This is not a performance you simply sit and watch. It is a carefully guided encounter with live art, story, sound, movement and reflection. At times, you may find yourself listening, creating, laughing, wondering, connecting or simply being still.
We will not tell you everything that awaits you.
Some moments are better experienced than explained.
Come curious.
Come open.
Come ready to meet yourself differently.
