Visit to Bushman village

We  spent an afternoon  connecting with  the  land  and  the  local  Bushman community  today.  This is a displaced community  of  Bushman  families  who  are  in  much  need  of healing  after  their  ancient  ways  and  spirit  have  been  slowly falling  away  from  their  memories,  due  to  being  manipulated  into  working  the  Diamond  mine  for  De Beers  over  the  generations.  Despite their poverty, they came alive when Anthea began her drumming and the local medicine women started her dance. Everyone enjoyed her exuberance and left with huge smiles and open hearts. Unfortunately after taking a video my phone ran out of storage and I didn't get any photos.
