Reclaiming Ancient Teachings

Afrika Ikalafe Pluriversity is a learning institution that is rooted in African cosmologies and healing justice. Rather than privileging a single way of knowing, i.e., Eurocentric and Western ways, the Pluriversity holds multiple ways of knowing. This includes embodied, artistic, scientific, political, ecological, and spiritual ways being and knowing.

Our focus is a response to the interconnected crises of our time i.e., ecological collapse, extractive economies, gendered violence, burnout, and spiritual dislocation. Our intention is to create spaces for collective healing and learning.
Courses and programmes are facilitated by Dr Mmatshilo Motsei, supported by a Faculty Constellation of scholars, activists, healers, and elders whose knowledge is rooted in lived experience and community accountability.

Afrika Ikalafe Plurivesity is therefore not a university in the colonial sense. It is a living ecology of learning .

What the previous participants say

I sat down to challenge my values and how I can consciously parent my daughter and son in order to change the narrative for women and men...I have to take an active role in transforming society and it doesn’t have to be on a grand scale.

Through the circle of healing, Mmatshilo created a platform where women can compassionately face their demons and pave the way for their Divinity to arise. It is by no means an easy journey, but one that is deeply transformational for women who yearn to shed the multiple layers that prevent us from showing up as the best version of ourselves.

I shared the fire ritual with my granddaughter who was visiting. I am looking forward to an even better relationship with her. Each week’s topic took me to how I carried my body with all its organs as a necessity to enable myself to earn a living, to have children.. .totally disconnected. And when I sometimes experienced a connection, I felt guilty and suppressed my emotions.

Of all my life struggles, my relationship with my mom has always been my biggest challenge… My biggest resentment of her was that she chose to stay in an abusive marriage and let me as a child experience all her pain and suffering… now as I get more clarity, I commit to heal my relationship with her.

RefilweMafikeng, North West

At the time of the course, I was going through grief, loss, and trauma. I was also experiencing betrayal and isolation. The course offered me wisdom and inspiration. I found truth, tenderness and holding which I needed for my journey at the time. I would not hesitate to enroll in the course again.

When I enrolled in the course, I expected that the issues would be about my relationship with my mother but to my surprise, a lot of stuff was about my father wound. The course helped me to terminate a long-term relationship which was not good for my mental health and freedom.
