ABOUT

What on Earth Talk Series

WATER

The third dialogue in the elemental series with Colin Campbell and Anna Breytenbach. 

Where air represents the unified field from which all manifestation ultimately emerges and fire is the archetypal place where differentiation takes place, water represents the first of the feminine elements within the elemental cycle of creation. 

It is within the precinct of water that the fragmented and fast moving qualities of the masculine elements of fire and air are cohered into a slower moving state of commune. As the element of interconnection, water is the holder and carrier of the accumulated history - representing a repository of all information pertaining not only to our human past but to creation in its entirety. Here we may attune to the truths of the more-than-human world and explore what teachings for these times come from those sentient quarters. 

Join us for Water, the next in our series of discussions loosely framed within the structure of the elemental cycle of creation.

About Colin:

Colin Campbell grew up in rural southeastern Botswana, the son of a renowned anthropologist and a creative healing mother. His grandmother was a famous healer, whom people voyaged to see from far afield. On formative childhood travels with his father he slept under stars, learned from traditional San people and ways of the desert, awoke beside lion paw prints, and regularly fished cobras out of his bedroom drawer. At the age of eleven he was diagnosed as having the illness of calling, which ultimately led to his being trained and initiated as a traditional doctor and sangoma. Through the time of his upbringing he acquired a deep knowledge of Tswana culture and its traditional medicinal and spiritual practices.

Colin is currently a practitioner of traditional African medicine, based in Cape Town, South Africa and the U.K. He receives clients from all over the world, and facilitates international group processes relating to natural law, transformation, healing and personal power, sacred sites, and cross-cultural cosmology. His work bridges major world cities with ancestral homelands and forgotten wilderness, taking him from the Amazon Basin to Los Angeles, the sacred sites of Venda to the urban grit of Johannesburg, and remote Ethiopia to the City of London. Colin co-founded and co-runs a training school in Botswana for traditional doctors and sangomas with his brother Niall Campbell. He is also a lifelong artist and musician, his style once again bridging the traditional with the contemporary, the timeless with the timely, and the sounds of the sacred with the lyricism of electric rocking funk.
