]]> John Lockley had a strong dream calling him to train as a Xhosa Sangoma, but because of Apartheid laws it took him years to find his teacher. In 1994 he began a 10-year apprenticeship in the Eastern Cape with a well-known Sangoma/medicine woman. John now offers Ubuntu (humanity) workshops around the world, sharing the ancient arts of dreaming, using medicinal plants and connecting with the ancestral/spirit world. He is also trained in Yoga, Zen Buddhism and clinical psychology. For more info: www.african-shaman.com, and for our 2012 interview: video and audio format.
