#WiseGirl: Shaman Mandaza Augustine Kandemwa talks to Francesca Maxime

*I apologize this video has some audio issues - it was recorded from Zimbabwe* In today's #WiseGirl, video, I talk to shaman Mandaza Augustine Kandemwa was born a Svikiro (in Shona, his native tongue), a carrier of many earth and water spirits, and a Mhondoro, one who is in constant prayer on behalf of others. As a vessel of the Spirits, Mandaza receives visions and dreams, makes offerings, performs healing rituals, and serves as a messenger for the Ancient Ones.

Mandaza teaches us to become "living prayers" to be in service of the One Spirit that exists in all things. He lives in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe and travels internationally as a Peacemaker.
