My journey of overcoming childhood sexual abuse, rape and various
mental illnesses has led me to new heights. I answered a healing call on
Facebook for Nubian SiStars to attend the Nebula’s Healing and Cleansing
weekend at the African Heritage Centre in Peterborough.
Sitting on the train with my cousin Denero Richards, I remember
sharing my intentions for the weekend; I’d hope to achieve three main things: namely the sense
of feeling refreshed, re-energised and to find clarity in my path ahead. As
certain as I was about my desires, I was also aware this is the very first time
I would be taking part in most of the activities on the planned agenda, so I really
had no idea what to expect.
However the thought of taking time out to the countryside
with my Nubian SiStars gave me a lot to look forward to.
The train journey from London to Peterborough was over in no
time as Denero and I were fixed in deep conversations. We got to Peterborough
Station early, so we walked around a bit, grabbed a drink and had a cigarette
whilst we waited to jump in a cab to our destination.
One of the SiStars spotted us and came to introduce herself as Danielle; she asked if Denero and I were heading in the same direction – low and behold we were. This probably sounds more random than it seemed at the time, so let’s put it into perspective. Most people probably saw three black girls and assumed we must know each other. However we felt a magnetic force that pulled us together as we spotted a visible glow of energy on each other (possibly from answering the same healing call) – no one else could see it but we felt it.

As the three of us waited for the cab, we laughed and joke
together without a care in the world.
Arriving at the African Heritage Center, we were greeted by the event organiser – Kat Wright – who’s also an old friend of mine. I was excited seeing her again as it had been years since I last saw her. I immediately noticed something calm about her energy; so peaceful, relaxing and welcoming. I was already in such high spirit and feeling a sense of honour to be amongst other Goddesses.

The weekend was filled with deep conversations, laughter,
healing, cleansing activities, eating, drinking and sleeping. Here are a few pictures of the Goddesses as well as highlights of the cultural aspect of the African Heritage Center.
And here are some key nuggets that I took away from my experience:
1) Kat allowed herself to be used as a vessel to
translate messages of the Goddess Oracle. These messages either reinforced my
current journey or gave me new directions in my path ahead. Firstly, I had to randomly
pick 4 cards from a deck of cards.
The four cards I picked were:
- Abundance – this reinforced how much knowledge and experience exists within and around me that can be utilise along my path. However I need to have a better understanding of how I’m wired in order to tap into my true abundance.
