A few weeks ago I gave a workshop at an art and music festival called Lightning in a Bottle. My favorite art piece I saw was a performance and storytelling by Chris Berry and fellow artists, called Bana Kuma. Chris lived in Zimbabwe for ten years where he participated in ceremonies where people would channel ancestors or spirits. In his own mediumship, he encountered a group of beings who told him beautiful stories about who they were and where they were from. This dynamic art piece tells their story, of a time long ago, when we all were one... http://banakuma.org/
Go to the "tutorials" section and you can click on each of the archetypes to find a story and a song. The archetypes section has longer stories. They're making a book too, I bought a couple of the prints - beautiful illustrations by Leif Wold. Every time I think about this or hear the songs I start crying, they're so loving. You can also listen to the songs on Soundcloud via Shuma Records: https://soundcloud.com/shumbarecords/sets/banakuma
