One month after her wedding day, 33 year old Cami Walker was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). Soon she was left barely able to walk and this put enormous strain on her marriage. Each day brought new negative thoughts. Then, to lift her out of her self-absorption and focus on pain, she received an uncommon prescription from a friend, an African medicine woman named Mbali Creazzo – she said give away 29 gifts in 29 days.
Today this has turned into a worldwide giving movement, of which Mbali is the mother of the movement and the spiritual advisor.
Mbali Creazzo will be at BOEKEHUIS to tell us the story.
About the speaker:
Mbali Creazzo was born in South Africa. She then moved to London and became a massage therapist. This work was a catalyst for her own healing and what it means to heal. This interest lead her to doing a master’s degree at the age of 46 where she was educated to post graduate level in Integrative Medicine, the practice of combining alternative medicine with western Techniques. She moved to the USA after being invited to join a very progressive medical establishment in San Francisco later named the healthiest hospital in the US because of its Integrative Medicine Model. Mbali devised an integrative body work program and was core in creating the Transformative Education curriculum. In this time, her work with students and patients awakened her to the concept of the uniqueness of healing. Why did the same illness or the same traumatic event impact people in such different ways? Mbali’s path has also taken her into HIV and AIDS counseling and education where she is blessed to work in harm reduction for homeless people and substance addicts.
Creazzo is a published writer, with articles specializing in the Power of Touch and Mindfulness. Her writing has also appeared on line in blog format on 29 Gifts website, her own blog on South Africa. She continues to travel around the country by invitation.
Why I’m choosing to give:
Sawubona
Because I believe there is enough for everybody.
What I’d most like to receive:
Abundance in in all realms.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
I gave Cami Walker the 29-Day Giving Challenge as a prescription to help her through a crisis.
About me:
I am a medicine woman, teacher, healer, creative artist and cowrie shell diviner. I also do telephone divinations. The 29 day giving ritual originated from the Medicine work I have embarked on. When we have so much we can still live in the scarcity of not having enough or being enough a message received in the Western world on a daily basis. Giving of any kind, taking an action begins the process of change, and moves us to remember that we are part of a much greater universe. Try this what if you were to give away something that you felt you could never part with?
Ubuntu Humanity is a Holistic Healing, multi-cultural, community building, organization that sees its purpose as bridging the ancient ways and the modern world so that we can tap into the stories we are carrying today and connect them to the legacy we hold in order to bring about a generational healing.
