In this deeply grounding episode, hostΒ Anshu BahandaΒ is joined by South African sanoma and Indigenous Knowledge ConsultantΒ Gogo KhanyakudeΒ (Tiisetso Ntuthuko Makhubedu) to explore how reconnecting with animal totems, ancestral guides, and Earth wisdom can lead to profound peace and belonging.
Gogo brings us into their personal story: from the gospel music of early childhood to visions once mistaken for mental illness; from a spiritual βdark nightβ in Cape Town to initiation in ancestral healing. They share how ancestral identity, animal spirit guides like lions and goats, and even a long-unsprouting Marula tree were all signposts on the path home to their soul.
This episode invites you to answer the call you may have been feelingβtoward an animal, a memory, a directionβtoward belonging.
