What was Africa like before the arrival of European ships?

Join us for a 45-minute immersive journey through medieval Africa.

This journey will re-reveal the rich stories of the land and its ancient wisdoms and practices – now considered "New Thought" or "cutting-edge science" – that have been part of African civilisations for hundreds of years

This talk will deepen your understanding of Africa before the arrival of European ships, bringing its ancient blueprint to life for all who wish to hear the Soul of Africa.
