Ɓatɨ-Ijɔ̄ –
This workshop IS A MUST WATCH!! It was very educative and there were a lot of lessons I learned from it.
It was a live testament to the fact that it is possible to revive our ancient forms of indigenous practices, that are applicable and relevant in present times. This implies searching in our various communities and documenting those practices related to people activity which are on the verge of extinction at the expense of foreign ways of living.
I appreciated the fact that Sogossira clearly explained a deep connection with his art and Spirit. A lesson for me was that in all we do, we need to seek guidance, direction and protection from Spirit, in other words there is a deep connection with spirit when we are in alignment with the elements of nature. A confirmation for me that creating sacred art has a lot of spiritual significance.
I suggest that there be a part 2 of this workshop probably to demonstrate how the paint is mixed or perhaps what type of painting is used.
In this workshop, Sogossira also thought me the importance of being the best at what you do.
