  1. For me, he shared some most valuable understandings: change is - so allowing ‘it’ is wise; allow the feminine to balance - let’s see what comes of honouring that energy/perspective; become aware of the magic/sacred around you - open to the messages reflected in what you have in your daily life; reawaken the experience/idea of the “adventure” of life; seek a healthy autonomous companionship with the unseen worlds.
    Love ya,

  4. Malidoma speaks to our mission for the future.
    The Divine Feminine is to be restored through the waking up of our indiginious souls. May we ask for forgivness, where our minds have lost its way. May we embrace the wisdom that is given to us so freely by Our African Mother’s son. In Graditude, to the Friend of the Stranger. Blessed Be, Dea, Rhea, and Will Davis

  5. Malidoma helps give us the tools to look through the eyes we have not used in this world of “thing.” When we learn to use what’s “inside” we see the world, the spirits in a different way.

  6. That was most insightful, but the real test would be when the power goes out and we are back to nature and the deity spirit. Let’s see how our differences play out because there will only be one group of people that won’t survive when their power infrastructure is gone…and its coming to that point as we speak, so we shall see.
