Yesterday we gathered for the final Ubuntu Healing Circle of 2025 — and the energy was something you could feel in the air. ✨

The winter altar glowed with candlelight, evergreen branches, incense smoke and offerings to the Ancestors. Drums lined the floor, the circle was full, and the whole space felt held — warm, rooted, and alive with spirit.

In this healing affinity space, grounded in African-Caribbean and Indigenous ancestral traditions, we remembered that none of us are meant to do this alone. The vibe was soft, slow and deeply restorative — full of love, solidarity, and a very real sense of ancestral presence. We held each other, they held us 🤲🏿🤲🏾

We welcomed beautiful new members into the circle and, in meditation, laid our burdens at the altar — releasing some of what we’ve been carrying, returning to our bodies, replenishing our Asé, and reflecting on what it means to come home to ourselves: our emotions, our people, the land beneath us, our ancestors, and the Divine.

We spoke about how decolonising the mind — freeing ourselves from the mental and emotional chains handed down through history — asks us to unlearn the individualism that leaves us isolated and overwhelmed. Instead, we leaned into the spirit of Ubuntu:
“I am because we are.”

We honoured the power of micro-communities as places of safety, rest, joy, resistance, and collective care — and we named the internal/colonial barriers that make it hard to soften, reach out, and allow ourselves to be held.

During the libation ceremony, we offered thanks to the Ancestors, poured energy into the wider collective, and prayed for all those struggling in this season. Then Anna guided us through somatic embodiment, EFT tapping and Havening — gentle yet powerful practices to soothe the nervous system, regulate the body, and support us in difficult times.

Ubuntu continues to centre holistic wellbeing, ancestral connection and community — a space where we remember, restore and rise together.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, drummed, breathed, meditated, cried, laughed, prayed and held space on Sunday and throughout 2025.

I am, because we are.

Come share in the circle again 4th Jan 2026 🙏🏽

Ubuntu is a healing affinity space rooted in holistic African-Caribbean and Indigenous ancestral traditions and the spirit of “I am because we are.”

We come together in community, in resistance and in love — to remember, restore and rise as the year turns.
