The ‘Bushmen’ are the oldest inhabitants of southern Africa, where they are commonly known as Bushmen, San, Khwe or as the Basarwa. They have been resident in and around the Kalahari Desert for at least 20,000 years which spans areas of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Angola. The terms San, Khwe, Bushmen, and Basarwa have all been used to refer to hunter-gatherer peoples of southern Africa. They speak a variety of languages, all of which incorporate ‘click’ sounds represented in writing by symbols such as! or /. Genetic evidence suggests they are one of the oldest, if not the oldest, peoples in the world. They were hunter-gatherers, hunting with bows and arrows, trapping small animals and eating edible roots and berries.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
They lived in rock shelters, in the open or in crude shelters of twigs and grass or animal skins. They made no pottery, rather using ostrich eggshells or animal parts for storing and holding liquids. For these reasons, animals and nature are central features in the Bushman’s religious tradition, folklore, art and rituals.The Bushman are small in statue and usually have large bottoms hence the term “Bushman bum.</div>

The most important southern Bushmen spiritual being was /Kaggen, the trickster-deity. He created many things, and appears in numerous myths where he can be foolish or wise, tiresome or helpful.The word ‘/Kaggen’ can be translated as ‘mantis’, this lead to the belief that the Bushmen worshipped the praying mantis. However, /Kaggen is not a praying mantis: the mantis is only one of his manifestations. He can also turn into an eland, a hare, a snake or a vulture; he can assume many forms. When he is not in one of his animal forms, /Kaggen lives his life of an ordinary Bushman, hunting, fighting and getting into scraps. The Bushmen’s beliefs go beyond that. The eland is their most spiritual animal and appears in four rituals:1-boys’ first kill,2-girls’ puberty,3-marriage and 4-trance dance.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A ritual is held where the boy is told how to track an eland and how the eland will fall once shot with an arrow. He becomes an adult when he kills his first large antelope, preferably an eland. The eland is skinned and the fat from the eland’s’ throat and collar bone is made into a broth. This broth has great potency. In the girls’ puberty rituals, a young girl is isolated in her hut at her first menstruation. The women of the tribe perform the Eland Bull Dance where they imitate the mating behavior of the eland cows. A man will play the part of the eland bull, usually with horns on his head. This ritual will keep the girl beautiful, free from hunger and thirst and peaceful. As part of the marriage ritual, the man gives the fat from the eland’s’ heart to the girls’ parents. At a later stage the girl is anointed with eland fat. In the trance dance, the eland is considered the most potent of all animals, and the shamans aspire to possess eland potency. The modern Bushmen of the Kalahari believe in two gods: one who lives in the east and one from the west. ‘Medicine People’ or shamans protect everyone from these spirits and sickness. A shaman is someone who enters a trance in order to heal people, protect them from evil spirits and sickness, foretell the future, control the weather, ensure good hunting and generally try to look after the well being of their group.</div>

The Bushmen are well known for their rock art paintings of stickmen figure hunting and gathering. These bushman paintings have become important historical finds as they have given historians key data in the lives and times that the Bushman has been around as well as the movement of African people. The bushman are not notorious for their craft but are more known for their paintings and rock art. They do however make traditional arts and crafts today such as eggshell jewelry, bows and arrows, dancing and fire sticks and dancing skirts. They are also making exquisite textiles and ceramics that have been hand painted with traditional images.</div>

The name of my Album is <i><b>Keep me Wild.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some People think that it's me that wants to be kept wild, But I wrote it about the Earth - It is the Earth that wants to be kept Wild.<br />
It is the voice of Humanity that wants to be kept Wild.<br />
And it is the voice of Nature and Animals<br />
that wants to be kept Wild.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I go to the forest every day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It helps me gain perspective and get out of my head.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It helps me to connect with nature every day. To ground.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To realise how important it is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is the secret.</div>

I left the world of commercial music and started my <b>Sound Journey.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This means alot of things. Understudying, observing and listening.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is different to be a passive listener rather than the entertainer in the spot light.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been given singing bowls and added them to my collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been going on many Sound Journeys. Teachers are everywhere.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This, last night, with Mirja.</div>

<br />
I wanted to tell you about a dance I did with Jayne. She is my favourite teacher because she is so Authentic.<br />
There is no ego with her. This is the most important thing I hold value in. I went in knowing absolutely nothing about the practice and came out a different person. How do you describe a thing so deep and rich in ceremony. You go in feeling one way and come out feeling completely another.<br />
There are major shifts that happen that you don't even know about.<br />
Whatever you need to get out of it - you do.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibNet7a6QRP2-FWhLgup3R1FTWyORO6Pg4OEJrQg8H6AhFMa-rHb8It2Q4g55W_DdSWWJF9tueORZxyBcAOYMk8dIbSEqFL-llE9kQ999eTJuVhE8CEBim7-zo_DMFZaRANxaBrqCg8WMs/s1600/movement1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibNet7a6QRP2-FWhLgup3R1FTWyORO6Pg4OEJrQg8H6AhFMa-rHb8It2Q4g55W_DdSWWJF9tueORZxyBcAOYMk8dIbSEqFL-llE9kQ999eTJuVhE8CEBim7-zo_DMFZaRANxaBrqCg8WMs/s320/movement1.png" width="320" /></a> </div>
<br />
I went in disconnected and I came out connected. That's the only way I can describe it.<br />
I went in knowing no one and very shy, and I came out feeling like I'd connected on a heart level with myself, and everyone, on a deep and gentle level.<br />
The music guided me through, a sound journey of highs and lows, music from all over the world. Nidhi drummed beautifully throughout.<br />
Jayne asked us to set an intention - if there was something we wanted to make better, or let go. The music and dance help you to change/ shift your perspective. the music and whatever happened in that room, broke me. What I received from that dance was 'work on your 'I don't feel worthy' issues.' 'DAnce though your pain.' At some point I started crying, tears were streaming down my face. I thought 'how do I carry on?' I managed to keep dancing. I had no idea what was happening, why was this happening to me! I observed the patterns in my life. Someone held the space while I cried. We shared what we wanted to let go of. I realised I was carrying around so much in my relationship then, and I didn't want to carry it around anymore. Feeling consumed by my other, I needed to find balance. I accepted that I needed to come and go as I please, that it was all I was capable of then. Love me for who I am, accept me for who I am. So much has changed since then since I danced this dance - everything has come into place and settled. But I needed this dance then. I am grateful for the music, for the journey, for the women in that room, the compassion and the honesty. For connecting with myself, my rhythm, my wisdom, my shaman, and shifting my perspective.<br />
Movement is Medicine.<br />

It seats 8 and is situated around a chefs station in a 'pod' like structure. It is quite simply the best culinary experience I've experienced this year - a fusion of Asian street food like nothing you've tasted before. If this is what Asian street food is, then I'm in for life.<br />
<br />
Conceptualised by chef Cheyne Morrisby the recently launched diner serves up hot, fast Japanese and
Chinese over-the-counter food at a bar set-up for both lunch and
dinner. Cheyne calls this a ‘Pacific Rim’
style of cooking and the Lucky Bao
is a melting pot of Oriental flavours. Do Try: the Bao, a traditional Chinese steamed bun
with fillings like grilled pork belly or soft-shell crab; Yakitori, a
Japanese skewered food dish that comes in a variety of flavourful
coatings, and Slaw with
mandoline-sliced roots and green chilli mayo.<br />
<br />
Thursday evenings, on the other hand, are reserved for specialty
Ramen and Burger Nights, during which guests can eat the noodle
delicacy or bite into Asian-style patties in a
relaxed atmosphere. Friday and Saturday nights make way for a more intimate and
sophisticated culinary journey called the ‘Lucky Six’, which invites
groups of eight to book out the venue for an evening to enjoy a secret
six-course dinner.<br />
<br />
Get there. now!<br />

This is home to the movie <b>The Beach</b>. This is a place where you can just relax and unwind and do nothing after your travels. We did an amazing day trip to The Beach Island which was outstanding. Phi Phi Lee also houses the "Viking Cave", where there is a thriving industry harvesting edible bird's nest. Ko Phi Phi was devastated by the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004, when nearly all of the island's infrastructure was destroyed. As of now most of this has been restored. We stayed at <a href="http://www.phiphiislandvillage.com/">Phi Phi Outriggers Resort</a> which was incredible, the best place to unwind after a long holiday. Thailand thank you, you were amazing. xoxo<br />

certification. Ko Tao offers some of the best scuba diving in Thailand.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-TAT_5-0"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ko_Tao#cite_note-TAT-5"> </a></sup>And with help by island conservation groups the island's environmental outlook is improving. We dived our hearts out, and stayed at the rustic and beautiful <a href="http://www.viewpointresortkohtao.com/">View Point. </a><br />
<br />
Words cannot describe this place - the snorkelling and diving is just out of this world...We stayed a week here and am definately heading back here...this is the place, and without a doubt the highlight of our trip. We dived with black tipped reef sharks, amazing!<br />

Once we got there it was paradise though. <b>We hired a scooter </b>for the week and traveled all around the islands at our own leisure. I checked the <b>full moon party </b>off my bucket list. - All though this was not my highlight, the music being too commercial, but the island itself is serene and beautiful.<br />
<br />
We stayed at a <b>private villa,</b> <a href="http://www.sandybaybungalows.com/"><b>Sandy Bay Bungalows</b></a> located along the beautiful Haad Yao Beach on the tropical paradise island of Koh Phangan. <b>It's famous for its pure white sand, crystal clear waters, coral reefs and breathtaking sunsets</b>. Haad Yao (Long Beach) runs for over 1km and the resort covers the whole of the southern end of the beach. The highlight for me was having our own transport and having a week to do as we please. Also we found some amazing food and restaurants on the island, the restaurant below us at the end of the beach was special and authentic, we had some of the best Tom Yums imaginable.<br />

We spent 2 nights there, which was enough for me, we saw <b>Banlga Road, </b>Patong which was not great for me - I detest ping pong shows, if you think about it - these young women and how they are being exploited, you wouldn't want it for your child or anyone, so I just couldn't relax and enjoy it. I didn't choose to put myself through one of those shows. <b>Advice: </b>be careful in Bangla Road and don't get into fights with bouncers (they can be aggressive). be streetwise, be mellow.<br />
<br />
My highlight though, was a <b>foot massage </b>(by fish) and <b>an amazing day trip to Hong Island, Krabi</b>..where we <b>kayaked into caves</b> and saw monkeys and breathtaking sights, it has to be done.<br />
