In this guided meditation, developed by Joanna Macy, Dr. Moyo Mutamba and Natalie Zend take us on a slow journey through time, back to our beginnings as humans. As we then travel forward to return to the present, we gather up our human ancestors’ capacities to weather adversity and respond creatively in times of crisis. Their gifts live within us, empowering us to face the challenges of our own time. Moyo helps Susanne Maziarz with the music and tells the story for all ages. Debb Bertazzon weaves the service. Dr. Mutamba (Moyo) is a facilitator, conflict coach, leadership mentor, and mediator whose work is rooted in Ubuntu—the belief that “I am because you are. As co-founder of the Ubuntu Learning Village and the Ubuntu Free School in Zimbabwe, Moyo is dedicated to creating spaces for learning, cultural reclamation, and community-building. Through the Free School, he ensures that every child receives an education rooted in dignity and belonging, regardless of their circumstances.
