The Premise

The Premise introduces an articulation of inner most musings; through conversations lead by integral beings in the Lukhanyo Mdingi cosmology. Together, we explore the multi-faceted nature of varying iterations concerning life; including concepts such as gratitude, intuition, to fear and letting go and more. Our vision for collaboration underpins the essence of our work; and it is within this domain and spirit that we speak to leaders and way-showers; hearing their unique, deeply considered perspectives. We invite you to immerse yourself in these words; may you be held by their wisdom.

Fear

In the final chapter of this journey, we explore the implications and nuances of fear . This often stifling emotion is elicited by the threat of danger – manifesting in the brain’s amygdala region, where emotional response is detected through the perception of stimuli. Across many disciplines of thought, fear tends to form more than just a feeling, rather it is a weighted energy that accumulates within our being, giving rise to instinctual discomfort and patterning. While fear is thought to be a...

Community

Having gathered in groups for millenia, we are irrevocably bound to each other as human beings. Through our assertion of communities, we have built civilizations - and even when these fall, we continue to rely on our interconnectedness to shape our world. We simply cannot exist without the presence of other people; drawing on collaboration for practical, emotional and spiritual growth as we traverse our temporal trajectory through the ages. Within community spaces, our differences and similariti...

Letting Go

The act of letting go is perhaps one of the most challenging invitations we can receive in our lives. We tend to cast surrender as an indication of weakness; that surrender means to give up, bow out or allow the oppositional outcome to overthrow us. What if this act, of surrender and letting go, was actually the subtle art form that allows us to immerse ourselves in the flow? What if, by allowing ourselves to drop our conceptual frameworks and expectations, we instead call God/Source Energy to t...

Ego

So much of spiritual sentiment in the 21st century is wrapped up in “transcending the ego” – the aspect of Self that is rooted in humanness, validation and is ultimately formed as a tool for self-protection for navigation on this earth. We asked our speakers to elucidate on the depth of the “ego” as both a friend and a foe in our lives. The ego requires consistent attention, nurturing and self-reflection; and a healthy ego can allow us to be bold in our choices, in our self-belief and expression...

Purpose

It is difficult to define the nuance's purpose ; particularly in a world that is chaotic, and sometimes suggests we should all be driven to pursue something. Perhaps, as our speakers elucidate, it dwells within - and that finding one's purpose is the ultimate surrender to the great mystery, however it may appear to us in our unique experiences. Each human being has a story to tell - a blueprint - that asks us to return to who we are. Whether it is through our approach to life, or the challenges ...

Love

Love is the binding of all our greatest achievements; the work and the essence of creation itself – this chapter explores many forms of love, illustrated by the vulnerability and tenderness of the speakers. We evoke love in us, as the energy that unifies all aspects of living; we lose it, return to it, embody it and pursue it. It is the salve for our wounds, the remedy for our relationships - and within the Lukhanyo Mdingi cosmology, love is the reverence within which we design our offerings for...

Intention

Channeling our energy is a sacred act; we forge the path ahead for ourselves based off of the intentions that grow from within us, the way a seed transitions to a plant in the ecosystem of life. The spirit of intention becomes a fuelling vessel that seeps its way seamlessly through the practice of karma - “For every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction.” Being pressed to the mark of the motive is the sole ingredient that will enforce the commitment and the cause. We are inspired by the ...

Intuition

Beyond space and time, yet contained in the body and heart, is our capacity for intuition; the inner compass that navigates one's being through the intricate weave of life. It is the guiding force; the fiercely protective and untainted purity of our internal dialogue. Intuition is the secret syntax of that which is all-knowing; a love letter from ourselves, to ourselves. Intuition is the feeling and knowing of our truest & highest form; as Lindi Mngxitama and Duduza Mchunu both conclude in t...

Gratitude

Gratitude is a vibration of beingness; it is the tenderness we exude for the life that surrounds us, nourishing and nurturing our best intentions. A life tempered by gratitude grows in its infinite expansion; the more we give the more our intentions manifest in this world. It is the energy we ascribe to everything we love about being alive. It speaks of a thoughtful tenderness and holding the view of being grateful imbibes a profound and ever-evolving essence that exists all around us as we move...
