As we listen deeply to our dreams, we have the potential to change not only our lives but the lives of others around us, in the human and non-human worlds. In the traditional Xhosa and Swazi cultures of South Africa, there is responsibility attached to being a human being. It is said that if someone doesn’t dream, they have an illness and need to speak to a sangoma in order to reconnect to their dreams.

Dreams are a channel of communication with the ancestral and spirit realms. As we dream, we connect to our soul and with the qualities that make us human, our empathy and intuition. John will guide you to listen deeply to your dreams and take action on the messages you receive.

Thwasa: “Calling Sickness” & Dream Paths to Healing in Southern Africa
Video Teaching From John Lockley With Robert Moss

In South Africa, the Xhosa refer to “thwasa,” a calling sickness, where healing begins as the afflicted follow their dreams to find the right teacher and transition from patient to apprentice healer. John Lockley was called to his life work in this way as a white igqirha, which means “one who holds the lightning rod of the ancestors.” He embraced this calling through an extensive apprenticeship with a Xhosa medicine woman and now shares these ancestral teachings globally. In this 31-minute video conversation, John and Robert Moss, creator of Active Dreaming and a survivor of multiple near-death experiences, discuss how they were called to their vocations through dreams of ancestors. They share the many levels of dreaming and how dreams may be real experiences in separate realities. They also explore the profound significance of dreams in connecting with one’s soul and maintaining balance with the surrounding world.
