Introduction

Drawing on different traditions of indigenous knowledge, Colin Campbell shares with us the power of ritual practice as a way to restore our relatedness to the wider natural world. This work aims to help repair damaged or lost parts of ourselves; parts that hold crucial knowledge with regard to our ‘place’ in relation to the rest of the universe. Colin believes that when remembered and embodied, these lost parts of ourselves can lead to a more ensouled, alive and ecologically balanced world. 

This talk is for anyone who wishes to learn about pre-industrial cosmology and how we can deepen our relationship with the other-than-human world. It is also an opportunity to learn about the half-day workshop that Colin will be teaching at Green Hub on March 15th, alongside Jhon Kwano from New Guinea, and facilitated by Andrew McAulay, who will also be the facilitator for this online talk.

Speaker Colin Campbell  As a descendant of Scottish aristocracy, born in Zimbabwe (1963) and trained by some of the most renowned African healers of Southern-Africa, Colin Campbell has become known for being a knowledge-bridge between rare pre-industrial African culture and contemporary Western culture.   As a child, Colin travelled through Africa with his father, Alec Campbell, a celebrated cultural historian and archaeologist. From the age of 7, he was introduced to some of the most powerful African healers and magicians in Botswana, who instantly recognised the boy’s calling as a healer and accepted him as a student. Colin experienced and integrated ancient aspects of traditional African knowledge through the rigorous rituals and training from his teachers. This resulted in a deep understanding of animism and its inextricable connection to the natural world.  Through his in-depth knowledge of African culture, Jungian psychology and contemporary artistic practice, Colin has cultivated a uniquely-authentic personal philosophy which he has developed into wilderness-based practices. His practices aim to take people of all nations into a restored and reconnected relationship with the wider natural world.
