Your relationship with your ancestors is a partnership. Take a step back sometimes and allow yourself to be guided and supported. You’re not meant to carry everything on your own. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you have to do it all by yourself. Your ancestors are walking with you. Reflection Questions What might change if you trusted that you are supported on your path? Where in your life are you trying to do everything alone?

What if a musical instrument could connect you to the spiritual world of your ancestors? When Mahealani first heard the Mbira, she says she was transported. “I forgot where I was. I was visiting ancestors who I know had passed. I was experiencing things from a different realm.” Across Africa, the Mbira is known as an instrument that speaks to the ancestors — a sacred sound used for healing, remembrance, and spiritual connection. This Saturday at 2 PM PST/ 5 EST, we welcome Mahealani to the King’s Circle. Here' s the Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88560870283?pwd=92gH8Zjg5TGVUkd7UbhNtIEpu4lCEb.1 Mahealani is the author of The Mbira: An African Musical Tradition and is also an initiate of the Ifa spiritual tradition. In the attached video, Mahealani speaks with Black Resistance host Jan Mabry about the mbira, the traditional instrument of the Shona people of Zimbabwe, and its powerful cultural and spiritual significance. In addition to her expertise in Mbira, Mahealani has also dedicated more than 40 years to teaching and performing Polynesian music and dance, sharing Hawaiian and Tahitian traditions globally. She has also served as Professor of Hawaiian Language at Stanford University and led workshops throughout the United States and Mexico. This will be a powerful conversation about music, spirit, ancestry, and cultural restoration. Join us inside the circle on Saturday. Let us welcome this insightful, dedicated cultural ambassador.

What do you think your purpose is? Has it changed over the years, or has it stayed the same? Do you feel clear and confident about what you’re called to do, or are you still figuring it out? Curious to hear your thoughts. This photo of me was taken at the wedding ceremony of Liana Nanang and Ajala Omodele in Bermuda several years. I wrote about this experience in the second edition of my book, and how deeply I felt connected to my purpose while performing this ceremony. When have you felt the most connected to your purpose?
