Spiritual practice has undergone a dramatic modern resurgence as more and more people seek guidance from the ‘higher powers’ given the complexities of our world today. This week, we focus on symbolism and the role that animals play in our spiritual relationship with our ancestors. Animals feature prominently in conveying symbolism of sacred power and messages in our dreams. In more practical terms, animals play key roles in identity construction of individuals, clans, and ethnic groups.

Eco-bricks have become a sustainable construction material alternative that responds to global pollution by using non-recyclables such as chip packets, carrier bags, bottle tops and others. These bottle bricks have been used around the world for over 20 years as a building brick and a powerful tool to connect people with their waste. Our next guest collects these bricks and has several drop-off points across Gauteng. So far, she has collected over 8 800 eco-bricks. Further, she works on projects within communities to establish environmental and food sustainability

Have you ever thought you were whole and healed from a past trauma, only to experience an unexpected trigger that robs you of the sense of stability and confidence you depend on to live your best life? While you may rely on different sources to meet our various human needs, there are connections between our emotional, physical and spiritual health. According to the modality of holistic therapy, it’s possible to treat the whole person at once through energy work to heal our blockages. Our next guest helps us unpack the practice of Reiki, how energy medicine can be used effectively through the five senses and how we can incorporate this in our routines

The Arts are a strong representation of local talent and a tool for the sustenance of our identity and culture. This is why it is important that the sector is recognised and supported by corporate South Africa. This industry was hard hit in the past few years following the pandemic. As curfew and lockdown restrictions have been lifted, this is an important time for corporate SA to invest in creative industries to ensure that this market is sustainable. Our next guest will discuss how they are leading the way and who they have worked with on their journey

Our next guest took a leap of faith when she left her job in Finance to pursue her music career. As she took that fateful leap, the pandemic struck. This didn’t stop her. During the course of the pandemic, four tracks off her highly-anticipated debut album were featured in the musical score of the second season of Netflix’s mega-hit show, Blood and Water. This month, FRYA drops her debut album: Balance. The album speaks to mastering the masculine and feminine, the strong and the soft, the sexy and the vulnerable. Sonically, the project covers a broad range of genres from heart-wrenching ballads (Changes) to club bangers (BDE, Fire Fire) and Afro bops (Calculate).
