Midwifing the collective healing for ancestors, land & our future
N|om, the healing energy experienced in the collective, is a term from the language of the Juǀ’hoansi, a San Bushman group of Southern Africa. The practice of people gathering in a ceremonial circle around fire to participate in the healing of collective and individual wounds, is shared in many San and Khoe (Khoi) cultures indigenous to southern Africa, and in traditions on every continent.
So under the watchful light of the Peace Full Moon on 9th August 2025, marking New Year for the Khoe people, we enter into the birth chamber of our ancient and new world, through a sacred healing journey of N|om. This gathering aims to collectively birth a new time of Peace.
Guided by the visions of Dikwe, a Khoe elder and the Honeyman of the Outeniqua people, 50 “Midwives of the Earth” have been selected and invited from Southern Africa and across the oceans to gather and walk a path of ceremony, land connection, and ancestral healing, on the southern coast of Africa.
