A Creative Life

supports a deeper sense of union with the world and connects us to the sacred dimension of life. It emerges when we move beyond the boundaries of the self - when we create with love, express authentically, or give life to the mysterious force that wants to find voice through us.

​

It cannot exist on the same terms as a machine life. For this reason, living soulfully in this day and age is a revolutionary act of self-preservation and care.

WHO

Anél Hamersma explores reconnecting with our right-brained, creative selves in a world increasingly designed to domesticate and mechanize the human experience.

​

Drawing on her background in performance and her 2001 initiation as a sangoma in Botswana, she creates meaningful encounters with the Self through a variety of modalities: everything from the Japanese art of wabi sabi to indigenous practices to the Slow Movement.

 

Combined, they deliver an exhilarating experience - out of the constraints of urban living and back into the leafy green depths of the soul.

​

Based in Cape Town, Anél presents and facilitates courses, workshops and speaks on designing a more soulful life.
