It's go time.

Howdy folks,

I wish that I could have sent more blogs in the past few weeks, but I have either been in places where mentioning the word internet doesn't register in anyone's vocabulary, or I have been quite busy getting my spiritual thang on. In the past few weeks I have: found my teacher to train me in the xhosa tradition (mpondo tribe) to become a sangoma, met amazing people who have been an instrumental part of me finding my teacher, visited multiple sangomas from different traditions, found my homiest home, which is in Swaziland fyi, saw 4 out of the big 5, visited muti markets in Joburg (there is not a more hectic place in the world than these markets), and did my process work training (super awesome). My training will be really intense and I won't be able to use the internet for the whole time most likely. The training will be in the Transkei in a rural mpondo village. There is no electricity, plumbing, or McDonalds (NOOOOOO!!!). The place is amazing, my teacher is amazing, and I will be there anywhere from 6 months to a couple of years. I'm not really sure how long it will take, but let's hope I learn quickly. I will be in a very safe place doing exactly what my heart wants to do. I wouldn't rather be doing anything else in the world. I love it. I will keep you updated when I can. Thank you all for your prayers and kind thoughts.
