How To Die

Episode 8: The Sangoma


Listen Later

 

Choosing just one word to describe Lindy Dlamini is easy. She’s spirited, right?

Trained as a sangoma or African traditional healer, Lindy describes her work as a 'facilitator of healing.' She is hyper-alert to the signs she's been both gifted and trained to read, and does much to emphasize the importance of our relationship with our ancestors, whether we are aware of them or not.

In our interview, she also discusses witchcraft, and shares insight about the practice of daily connection as a way to honour people and heal trauma.

This is a fascinating account by a compassionate and skilled individual, a woman with a rich laugh and much to share.
