The Abundance Centre Sistah Circle Gathering
Radio presenter and motivational speaker brother Douglas Williams was the master of ceremonies. After an introduction the director of the Abundance centre brother Astemari Batekun opended the space with a libation using drums and reciting the warrior principles of unified knowledge in the ancient languages of Gurz and Kemetic. This was followed by a rendition of the song 'Cloud 9' performed by the sistah's, who then encouraged the audience to join in. After this each of the members of the 'Tehuti 2010' sistah circle took it in turns to give a short presentation on one of the gateways. Brother Douglas then opened the floor to questions and answers and we ended by networking and sharing the fruit and water that was contributed by all the participants.

"...Healing is essential for growth. If we do not face our truth, face past hurts and dedicate time to spiritual ascension, how will we grow? The sistah circle is a place where we have come together and reconnected with our higher spiritual selves. It has been the best gift that I have given to myself; time for self healing from the inside out. Learning from everyone's life experiences teaches me that we are not alone and I see myself in them..." (17/1/10)

I apprecilove everything that I've learnt. It has opened my eyes to boundless possibiliites. I'm so excited I'm still at the event... Thank you " (21/1/10)
