Something I learned recently… While reading Linda Tucker’s Mystery of the White Lions, I learned about Twasa, the process through which sangomas (traditional healers in South Africa) receive their calling. This often begins with an illness or crisis that has no known cure, propelling the individual on a journey of self-healing. Through this transformative process, they awaken their unique gift of healing and step into their role as “wounded healers.” This powerful tradition highlights how deep struggles can hold the seeds of transformation. If you’re curious to learn more, I highly recommend Tucker’s book: Mystery of the White Lions. Heart wisdom

Dear Reader, Recently, I came across a story that deeply moved me and challenged my assumptions about spirituality in our modern world.

His life wasn’t extraordinary because...
