Inspired by the hugely successful BaliSpirit Festival, the KwazuluSpirit Festival ®, a first in South Africa, promises a vibrant celebration of consciousness and wellbeing in all of its forms.
The small island of Bali has nestled itself safely inside my heart in a way that no other place could. After living in Bali and returning to South Africa, we desired to find a space to settle that would set our spirits alive in the same way that the small island had done. This is when we decided to move to the South Coast. We had already decided before we had even left Bali. Slowly, over time, this island paradise had become home and, deep down, we knew that we needed to settle in a space that reminded us of the magic that the island had brought into our internal worlds. After writing and rewriting this article, I realised that if I were to be authentic, I would have to say that, yes, the South Coast does indeed remind me of Bali, but at the same time it doesn’t – and I’ll explain why. The South Coast of South Africa and the island of Bali share many traits – a few of which I will map out later in this article, but there is also a much deeper comparison that could be made, one that has unveiled itself after having the privilege of being able to root ourselves in both spaces.
At the end of the day, people don’t travel to Bali to take photos on swings overlooking the rice fields or swim beneath turquoise waterfalls, eat tropical food and drink coffee made by the Balinese, or visit monkeys in some of the richest jungles upon the equator. Well, it’s a paradox because they do, but they also don’t. Bali is filled with digital nomads, people who work from a space of freedom and who choose to explore the world whilst creating and offering up their services online. It is also filled with seekers, those who travel to the island for an ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ moment. Some come out of desperation, others out of a deep inner desire to have their life shifted in some way or another. What I experienced whilst living there – and what I still feel deeply rooted within many of my clients who are still living there – is that Bali is a space of transformation and many who travel there are in search of that one gift: Revolution, whether it comes about in an awakening or a complete shift in life.
The deep transformation of Africa
Bali has its unique energetic signature, one that cannot be matched by any other space. Its lush jungles sit on the equator, which makes it the perfect space for growing rice and tropical fruits. It has two seasons: Rainy and not-so-rainy but, despite this, the air remains moist. This means that the ground is always wet, compacted and dark. It is this very moisture that fills the soul, drenching it and replenishing it from the inside out. Just as each grain of soil clings to the other when it is wet, so the island invites one’s soul to draw closer to itself. The island asks you to snuggle up with yourself, per se, inviting you to get to know yourself a little deeper by forming a deep inner relationship with yourself.
Africa, on the other hand, has one of the richest and most powerful energetic signatures I have felt. There is a deep presence and spirit that resounds beneath the earth, some even say it was the birthing space of mankind. It is a space of fire and deep transformation – and our winters on the Highveld can attest to that. Just as the soil turns grainy and dry, so the spirit of Africa calls you to unravel yourself from all that you think you are, to hold the fragments, caress them, before finally accepting that it is all you. It is a powerful and delicate process and it takes a lot of strength to hold this power and be courageous enough to dance with your shadows and light. The South Coast, on the other hand, carries a rich balance of both these signatures of Bali and Africa. There is a sacred and quiet fire within the winter – the land dries and the trees shed partially for winter. This is a time for transformation and unravelling, but it is not as harsh as those who experience this process on the Highveld. It is gentle and subtle, yet still as powerful. After moving through this unravelling, we flow into spring and summer – this is a time when the soil turns a deeper, richer shade when the lushness of the sacred waters enrich the soil and drench the forests, bringing about the replenishing and revitalising transformation that many journey towards Bali in search of.
Yes, Bali is indeed a space of great spiritual connection, but it cannot be matched by the power that is held within Africa, particularly within the South Coast. They are different. The South Coast holds the codes for deep spiritual transformation, soulful awakening and complete life changes and, depending on whether you decide to journey here in winter or summer, this transformation will be different. There are not many places on earth that can match this magnificence. The South Coast is a gem in its own right.
Jungles and pristine natural surroundings
For those who are looking for a physical comparison – yes, the South Coast has always reminded me of Bali. It is wild, free and pristine in every sense of the word. There is an organic opulence that permeates the space, with wild rivers, forested belts, mountainous spaces and an ocean that comes alive no matter the season.
The natural surroundings instil a sense of calm and peace, which is why so many travellers choose the South Coast for summer and winter vacations. Whether you are travelling for the warm summers settled on the beach, a spring hike near Oribi Gorge, or a season of whale and sardine watching in the winter, every season is imbued with a unique kind of beauty that cannot be replicated anywhere else across South Africa. This was the first thing we fell in love with and the first reason why we moved here. We loved to be beside the natural streams, to see the sun hit the gossamer wings of the dragonfly as it settles upon a lily pad, to see the natural glow of a firefly beside the river at night (yes, it happens; we have already experienced this within our garden).
By gazing at the South Coast with new lenses, you might begin to see that the rolling hills of sugar cane fields resemble the rice fields of Bali. You might begin to see the natural elegance and Feng Shui energy that the giant bamboo and frangipani trees bring into a space. You might begin to feel that the magic is abundant and larger than anything you previously dared to dream would be possible. It all starts with a shift in perspective and a deep appreciation for the natural beauty that permeates our coastlines.
Monkey Forest – monkey forest everywhere
Ever dreamed of walking down the winding pathways of Monkey Forest before skipping over to the Jatiluwih rice fields in Tabanan?
Well, on the South Coast you can walk through monkey forest any day, any time. The wild Vervet monkeys that are present on the coastline are plentiful. Although it is strongly advised to not feed them in any way, we would like to invite you to settle beneath the trees and simply admire how they approach life. While there, your eyes may even spot a legavaan, the Natal water snake, or one of our blue kingfishers. Oribi Gorge has some of the best hiking trails, allowing visitors to get lost in the flora and fauna for hours on end. Is deep forest vegetation not up your alley? No worries, the South Coast is home to many hidden jewels in the form of beaches that are hidden away down side roads, between rocks and amongst quaint little suburb.
The warm Indian Ocean waters and the long stretches of sand make the South Coast an ideal space in which to swim, surf, and snorkel and suntan. The 120 Kilometre KZN South Coast boasts 58 golden beaches 6 of which have international Blue Flag status.
Textures, interiors and natural treasures.
If you are preparing to journey down to the South Coast on your next holiday and desire a few special items to take home with you, then you are going to be very pleased with what this place has hidden up its sleeve. If you are wanting to adorn your living room or wardrobe with handwoven baskets by local ladies or vibrant clothing that epitomises the ‘island look’, then our beaches have just what you are looking for. From Saint Michael’s down to Trafalgar, you can be sure to find something special for sale along the outskirts of the white sands. Natural Interiors can be found next to Chefs on Marine in Ramsgate. It holds a wide collection of hand-woven macramé light fittings and cloths, as well as stone basins and natural items for the house and home. Beaches, in Southbroom, is a small boutique store that offers luxurious, bespoke items that have been hand-crafted or created with love and attention to detail from artisans around the world. They offer the perfect gifts and memoirs to take home. If you are dreaming of Bali and would like to take a piece of it home with you, then Oria Avenue at Mac Banana is your go-to place. They have imported a wide variety of hand-made items right from Bali, so now it’s easier for you to shop that picture-perfect Instagram look right from the comfort of South Africa.
I awoke within the misty hours of the morning and felt the world spring to life beneath my bare feet. The jungle was alive with music – the fluttering of wings against the summer breeze, the trickle of water hitting a rocky gulley, the cry of the monkeys within the groves of bamboo and the deep sigh of the trees as they awoke for the day. A warm glint of sunlight hit the tops of the trees, sending dappled light flickering across the leaf-strewn forest floor. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, and at that moment I knew that my soul was home.
The connection of hearts
“A place is less about the place and more about the people” – said every well-versed traveller always. I will always remember that this was the one thing that stood out in Bali – it was the kind, gracious and loving energy that emanated from the locals that made us feel at home and accepted. No matter what was unfolding within their personal lives, a giving hand was always available. The island has always offered itself up for tourism, as a space for weary visitors to rest and heal. Over time, I have come to see that the South Coast does the same. There is a beautiful sheen of peace and tranquillity that pervades the coastline, inviting all who stand within its midst to open up unto themselves and explore their inner worlds while exploring the outer. If you are looking for a reason to travel here, then 2023 is your year – this is the sign from the universe that you have been waiting for. Aligned with the annual BaliSpirit Festival in Ubud, Bali the South Coast will be hosting the KwazuluSpirit Festival on the 22nd and 23rd of July – it is a time for authentic soul-felt connection, both within and without.
Titillating the taste buds
From small boutique hotels to quaint Airbnb’s, to restaurants owned by locals – the South Coast offers up some of the best when it comes to food and dining. Journey Café in Shelly Beach offers some of the best vegan and vegetarian food on the South Coast and C-Bali, a luxurious restaurant on the beach at Saint Michael’s, invites visitors to experience their wide variety of designer gins and sushi, as well as some of the best burgers, poke bowls and seafood that the South Coast has seen.
Chefs on Marine, which can be found in Ramsgate, invites guests to experience a French take on the traditional classics – such as eggs benedict, croque madame, or croque monsieur – all presented on freshly baked croissants. Then there is Mac Banana. This space is overflowing with guests during the holiday season and for good reason. Their menu offers one of the largest assortments of pancakes in South Africa, their shop holds a large array of some of the most unique food items (which make the perfect gifts) and the adventure park, restaurant over the river, butterfly park and farmyard make this one of the best places for the entire family to enjoy together.
If you are wanting to experience coffee that has been nurtured upon the side of a hill in an estate that has been growing sturdy roots since 1984, then Beaver Creek is the place to be. Their signature blends taste like 38 years of experience. Every sip is titillating the taste buds with earthy, sea-kissed tones, from crop to cup.
The sound of wings rustling through the jungle. The flicker of a firefly upon a rice field bejewelled with raindrops. The powerful music of chanting flowing forth from the temples. Beautiful hand-woven textiles, food created straight from the earth and coffee grown upon the crown of the mountains. There is a sacred energy here, a gentility and an organic opulence. It is the very thing that draws many a foot to the island of Bali and it is this one thing we have nestled within the sanctuary of the South Coast. Some call it magic. Some call it the wonder of nature. We call it the opportunity for transformation.

“The book is quite extraordinary; an interesting mix of art and science.” Dr Stephanie Seneff.
This powerful book will will be launched at the Odyssey Spirit Festival in July.
Set against a brief biographical background of South African illustrator and Craniosacral therapist Ray Lacey, the book covers a number of thought-provoking subjects and poses some important questions.
Included in the mix is material on the differences between art and illustration, the need for the integration of two steams of consciousness – Aristotelianism and Platonism; the quest for the embodiment of the individual as central to the successful renewal of culture both globally and in South Africa.
Medical articles are presented on the causes of tuberculosis and other possible causes of HIV & AIDS; off target events and the need for the acknowledgement of scientific research on health issues – the critically important research and advice of science often being ignored. The book also features functions of the innate and adaptive immune systems, CD4 Th1 & Th2 cells, causes of autism, ADD ADHD, CranioSacral therapy, trauma recovery and primitive reflexes. All the material has been scientifically researched. Vitally important PMID articles are quoted and referenced.
Youtube: https://youtu.be/78aV2jEn-Ns
The book is available on Amazon in Kindle, hard and soft cover. 240 pages size 9‘’x 6’’.
A limited edition of 200 hard cover copies in a bigger size format (280 mm x 240 mm) 128 pages will be launched at the Odyssey Spirit Festival in July.
Copies will be available on order, at selected book shops and art galleries.
Ray Lacey graduated from the Durban University of Technology in Graphic Art (fine art) and from the Johannesburg University of Technology in Graphic Design. He lectured at the same faculty in illustration and then worked as a freelance illustrator for many years. In the late 1990’s he developed an interest in the interpretation of children’s drawings. This led him to study remedial therapy for children with learning difficulties within the Waldorf School movement. In 2001 he undertook a training with the South African Institute of Cranial Studies and qualified in 2003. He has produced a number of books; most successful is his illustrated children’s psychosocial support book for loss and bereavement from Tuberculosis “Jake and Tuffy” recently released on Amazon.
Biologically, the chemicals that flow through our veins are not the same for men and women. We know this logically and yet don’t fully understand the differences this creates in desire. I was chatting with a transgender client who’d been on hormones for three years and she shared with me that, in her experience, on testosterone she felt emotions in black and white and on estrogen she felt emotions in every colour.
As she was someone who had travelled a life path in two different hormone and chemical structures, I recognised there could be much understanding in this.
It’s been said that Viagra changed the world for men – as the loss of libido could be corrected with a chemical – and that the person who invents the same for women will become wealthy beyond their wildest dreams.
Yet women are just more complex than their chemicals.
Because they see the emotional and sexual spectrum in colour, you can’t just adjust one chemical element or colour and expect the entire rainbow to be turned on!
There are layers, even in the way women perceive their environments. For eons, women have had to be hyper aware of their surroundings, creating a multilayered way of caring for small darting children and a way to organise the home without clutter or what’s seen as psychological ‘noise’. There was a recent article in Psychology Today, that women in a perpetually messy, cluttered environment produce more cortisol (a stress hormone) than men do in exactly the same environment.
That’s so important, I’m going to repeat it. In EXACTLY the same environment!
There’s a reason that a clean, uncluttered, child-free space is often the best foreplay for women and it’s based in our chemical and emotional make-up that lies beyond just taking a pill.
A tired woman is one that will not prioritise sex, as she is still needing to tend to her environment and the work involved in that. With men, its stress that relates directly to the loss of libido or erection.
It sounds like the same issue, but it’s not. ‘Tired and stressed’ is a catch phrase we use, obviously related, but they are not the same thing. A tired man will often still have sexual desire; sex is fantastic stress relief for men, but a tired woman?
Women don’t work the same way.
A tired women adds sex to the list of chores that need to be done, as sleep and rest are more important to her body, especially if she’s tired and stressed out by her environment that is nagging at her to be cleaned and decluttered before she can relax. A clean home is the lingerie of the woman’s sexual fantasy!
So, if a stressed man wishes to improve his partner’s libido in order to have more sexual intimacy, he needs to cater to the optimum conditions for creating the zone for her libido to emerge.
Creating an intimate space where there’s nothing for her to do but relax.
And just taking her to a different environment while there’s still chaos at home doesn’t completely work, as there’s still psychological ‘noise’ about knowing what she faces when she gets home.
She may relax best with no chores, no children knocking on the door and no mess to clean up. As relaxation is the key to awakening her full orgasmic potential (the most pleasurable, long-lasting orgasms are achieved by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, the ‘rest and digest’ system). anything that leads to this full release of relaxation can ignite the libido response.
Sometimes she just needs a really good night’s sleep and a clean house.
It’s that simple.
I’ve had women actually cry in coaching sessions as I explain this to their partners and the men can’t believe that creating the space for intimacy in this way can be so effective.
Until they try it.
Add some real touch skill sets to a beautiful space to relax into intimacy and you’ve got an interested, vibrant and relaxed partner who can fully engage with you sexually.
The more she engages, the more likely a man is to release stress and enjoy renewed intimacy and pleasure.
A fully receptive, eager and pleasured woman, who willingly sexually engages with her partner, is one of the best intimate stress relievers for a man.
It’s also highly erotic.
It’s a win-win situation instead of some sexual zero sum game.
Try it. It’s a new version of sexting to say “Hey baby. I’m going to have the house professionally cleaned, send the kids to the babysitter for the weekend and let you sleep in on Saturday.”
She may cry. It’s not sadness, it’s relief. Touch her gently under those conditions and a whole new intimate life of pleasure lies before you.

Why is body cleansing the answer?
Listen to Heleen Elizabeth’s Transformational Talk Radical Cellular Regeneration Sunday 22 July 9 am.
The things killing us are the man-made toxins in our food and medicine and also consumption of food, drinks and medicine that were never meant for us. By cutting out toxins and replacing it with highly nutritive food that was meant for us in the first place, we detox and hydrate on cellular level. Whatever bio-weapon formed against us, need heavy metals and foreign micro particles to be effective; a healthy, natural, alkaline and uncongested body roams free, in all ways.
It has taken us years to accumulate the toxins that brought the damage to our cells, organs, glands etc. There is no quick fix. This group facilitated cleansing experience becomes the foundation of a life-long healing journey, the knowledge empowering you to make informed decisions about the energy and chemistry you allow in your body vessel. A wholistic lymphatic system focused cleanse, including focused attention on the kidneys, colon, glands, lung, parasite cleanse and a liver and gallbladder flush and it educates and equip you with ways to implement a cleansing lifestyle. This cleansing process should merely form part of your cleansing and healing experience.
The time has come for us to take our power back and become invincible in the face of the current onslaught of deadly pathogens, viruses, nanobots, pollution, heavy metals, glyphosate, MSG’s (monosodium glutamate), GMO’s (Genetically modified organisms), EMF’s (Electromagnetic frequencies), the depletion of natural goodness from our soils and the food produced by toxic commercialised agricultural practices.
Taking responsibility for our health and very survival, always brings us back to the fact that we need to have a preventative approach to health rather than a reactive approach. Reaching to nature for answers instead of the mistrusted mainstream medicine and their darker agendas.
Deep, cellular cleansing is a necessity, and is totally possible.

Meet Godfrey Madlalate who shares his journey and his experience of how the role of Traditional Health Practitioner has become a sought after natural health option for all South Africans.
“I was privileged in that, as I started my journey as a healer in 2000, there was a conscious effort by South African healers to get formal recognition by the South African government, through direct interaction with the national Department of Health.” Says Godfrey
African traditional health practitioners worked tirelessly with the national Department of Health between 2003 and 2010 to officially recognise and formalise our healing work. The pinnacle of this process was that former President Thabo Mbeki assented to the Traditional Health Practitioners Act No.22 of 2007 in a landmark parliamentary ruling. The act allows government to regulate the work of all traditional health practitioners in South Africa and to deal with misconduct by healers. A special Directorate of Traditional Medicine was established within the Department of Health and the at least 10 per cent of the national health budget was reallocated to this directorate. An Interim Council for Traditional Medicine is also in place since circa 2008. We argued that we, as healers, could not be regulated by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) due to the complex nature of our work and inadequate documentation of our work, let alone our modes of training and practice approaches. It is my hope that the interim council will soon transform into a permanent council.
The Traditional Health Practitioners Act No.22 of 2007 classifies traditional healing work into four categories viz.
- Herbalists;
- Diviners;
- Traditional Birth Attendants (midwives);
- Traditional Surgeons (circumcision ritual specialists).
This classification does not recognise the entire spectrum of healing in South Africa but provides a comprehensive perspective of the situation on the ground. The recognition of traditional healers in South Africa has not been an easy journey and remains incomplete at this stage. We do hope that the finalisation of the Council on Traditional Medicine will provide for the standardisation of training approaches, medical aid claims and professional recognition for healers. It remains a bridge too far.
Outside of the scope of government, healers have made inroads into the establishment of formal tertiary qualifications for traditional healers. A case in point is the Mhlabuhlangene School of African Medicine in Ladysmith, KwaZulu-Natal. They offer diplomas, bachelors, honours, masters and PhD programmes in African traditional medicine as well as theology and are fully accredited by the relevant higher education authorities up to National Qualifications Framework Level 10. Amongst the highest qualifications they offer is a PhD in healing science. The entire mindset that healers are barbaric, unhygienic, dirty, uneducated, misguided and dangerous to society has to change rapidly. We have worked tirelessly to change the face of healing in this county. What is actually amazing is that the calling to become a traditional healer (herbalist, diviner or prophet) has nothing to do with one’s educational background. We have academics, politicians, bureaucrats, sports personalities and ordinary working-class citizens who have been called to heal by their ancestors. I should also caution those who think that healers worship their ancestors. On the contrary, we venerate our ancestors and worship God. This is part of our unfortunate history in that, when the Christian missionaries and explorers first landed in Africa, they changed our ways of living and belief systems. Traditional and Indigenous belief systems were demonised as being barbaric and ungodly. It is my ongoing wish that young South Africans will in future register for higher education studies in healing as well as indigenous knowledge systems.
I have not been privy to recent studies and surveys, but we estimate that we have in the region of 750 000 traditional health practitioners in South Africa currently. In the early 2000s, this number averaged circa 550 000. Traditional health mentors (‘abo Gobela’ in familiar speak) remain very key in achieving successful traditional healing outcomes, as they play a significant role in the training and mentoring of healing initiates.
The policy on African traditional medicine is central to the implementation and praxis of our traditional belief systems. We use mostly herbs, shrubs, trees (90 per cent) as well as salts and chemicals (five per cent) coupled with animal skins, bones, and oils (five per cent) to make healing herbal preparations that keep our people in good spiritual, mental and physical health. One of my greatest wishes would be to see a primary health care system for South Africa that encompasses integrated approaches and collaborations between clinical medicine and African traditional medicine.
My perspective on the role of traditional health practitioners in South Africa
The African traditional healer of the precolonial era was a leader in society. These healers were very pivotal in regional and national decision making, seated next to our kings and queens. They were responsible for a lot of societal deliverables that included, among others, the following:
- Rain making for the local regions;
- Assisting the kings, queens and other traditional leaders with advisory and decision making in the context of ensuring the wellbeing and protection of the nation;
- Precolonial primary and tertiary health care systems, including surgery and midwifery;
- Strategy and scenario planning for the nation through prophecies, divination and predictions;
- Domestic animal welfare and care;
- Overseeing cultural rituals and ceremonies;
- Counselling the general population;
- The regular sourcing of herbs and shrubs for processing and the ultimate treatment of humanity.
Beyond precolonial Africa a lot has changed due to the advent of ‘modern civilisation’, colonisation, repression, political systems and the resettlement of our people, education and technology. The modern-day traditional healer works in a highly restrictive and regulated environment that stifles the creativity and versatility of our approaches and methods. It remains our task to ensure that traditional healers operate in optimal environments despite facing numerous challenges. When we introspect our roles in present-day South Africa, we realise that our central role remains to foster social cohesion and nation building, this to be followed by the building and rebuilding of nuclear families. We are, alongside traditional leaders, custodians of our culture and heritage. Our core daily duty remains to divine and treat our patients. We also have a mammoth task of balancing the earth’s energy points through several spiritually inspired rituals and ceremonies that include rain making. We are an integral part of the practitioners that have to ensure that we live in harmony with nature and its ecosystems. The complexity of colonisation compels us to educate the youth on African indigenous knowledge systems. We have to strive to empower the African children and adults to thrive in the diverse and interfaith community that we have become.
The ancestral calling is unique and not limited to black Africans only. South Africa boasts a few white, coloured and Indian traditional healers who were trained and mentored amongst familiar lines. We have to preserve the beauty and integrity of our diverse community. I personally had to sacrifice an entire professional career in the built environment in order to take up work as a traditional health practitioner on a full-time basis. This is my 22nd year in the field and I have gathered a lot of wisdom in the process.
My appeal to the younger and recently initiated traditional healers is that their conduct should remain dignified and full of integrity at all times.
