Psychedelic Mushroom Journey
“Words can hardly describe the life changing experience of journeying in Kafui’s care. The integrity, compassion and skill in her approach put you at ease in a way that is much needed when delving deeper into yourself or into uncertainty. The evident ebb of her own spirituality immediately engulfs you just through simple interactions such as conversation, sitting in silence and seeing one another in practice. It allows you to get in touch with your own spirituality and come close with your own seeking intentions as she provides the possibilities through studied methods, ancient and grounded, brought through her to you the client. It is one thing to know something through logic and reasoning and quite another to know it through deep feeling. An experience with Kafui provides the latter, at once connecting you to your purpose by aligning your past experiences in such a way that you can only see your greatness and the path that lies before you.”

Family Constellations
“There are many healing modalities rising to tackle generational and collective trauma, family constellation is one of the more delicate practices, requiring immense discipline and self awareness. Not many have the ability to hold space in such a spiritually embracing way, paying homage to the Nguni origins of the practice, and facilitating a soul opening experience that deeply resonates with the present. Experiencing Kafui's approach to Family Constellation was like none I encountered before. I respect her dedication and humility in collaborating with this guided space as it reveals to you all you are, masterfully holding space that feels safe.”

Family Constellations
“The Family constellation with Kafui was really transformative for me. She created a great atmosphere by explaining everything and being very gentle throughout the whole session. I felt taken care of and safe to express everything I needed to. Thoughts, feelings, boundaries and tears. The people representing were equally as gentle and made me feel comfortable to spill my tea haha.
It was really amazing to see my own story from a different perspective, it gave me a deeper understanding of self. I was especially amazed when the person representing me voiced a boundary that until that point, I hadn't been ready to voice. That was a key moment for me, showing me how accurate the things said, shared and seen were. Keep in mind that physically you'll be tired and you will need time to rest and process after the session. Overall really an experience I received so, so much healing, perspective, peace and alignment from. Absolutely recommended 10/10 - see for yourself!

Psychedelic Mushroom Journey
“A Profound and Life-Changing Experience.”
“My Mushroom journey with Kafui was one of the most intense and impactful experiences of my life—in the best way possible. During the journey, I had powerful spiritual revelations, and in the months that followed, I gained deeper self-awareness, overcame decision fatigue, and found newfound clarity. Kafui is an incredible facilitator who truly cares. She provides unwavering support, from preparation to aftercare, holding space with deep wisdom, compassion, and insight. If you’re looking for a transformative experience with someone who will guide you every step of the way, I wholeheartedly recommend her.”

Family Constellations
Kafui’s family constellation workshop was incredibly impactful and prompted a journey into myself that I did not expect. Since then I often contemplate what came up for me during the session and it revealed some interpersonal and familial issues that I had been ignoring. If this is something you’ve been considering (or have come across by chance) I sincerely invite you to attend and open yourself to the process. It’s a fulfilling exercise that allows you to dig deeper and in doing so come to attribute meaning to so many areas of your life.

Psychedelic Mushroom Journey
I knew I wanted a very personal, supportive, healing experience when I decided to do a journey. I was not exactly sure about how to go about this because it was my first experience. From the two times I had met Kafui prior to my journey, I knew she was someone I could trust and be vulnerable with. She helped me and guided me toward having the experience with clear intention and an open heart.
Kafui created a space for me to ask questions, she got to know me and what my needs were before I decided to journey with her. During the journey, her energetic cleanse of the space, herself and also how she guided me on how to prepare was essential in setting the tone for this spiritual step. Throughout the journey, she would check in on me and be so attuned to my experience that she would sometimes appear before I would call her. After the journey, she organized food for me and made sure I rested. She checked in on me regularly in the week after and that was a huge help for me as post care for me was as important and critical to the journey.
Kafui’s gentle and loving care made my experience healing and full. I’m eternally grateful. I would recommend her to anyone who is brave and ready for this step. I hope that she will be with me on my next one.

Family Constellations
“After many years relying on western therapeutic models to work through my wounds, I started 2024 with the distinct feeling that I needed to try a different route, that no amount of talking, problem solving, or analyzing could get into the deepest and oldest layers of my hurt. While I consider myself to be open-minded, I've also been molded to be skeptical of the "unscientific", the unseen, and I entered Kafui's space with that skepticism, open to the process without expecting too much. Within ten minutes of my first (and second) constellation workshop, my tears started to flow and for the first time in my life I didn't feel the need to know why. I am an analytical person. I unpack every uncomfortable feeling, try to understand its causes, its solution, its fabric. But under Kafui's guidance, my analytical self switched off and my body woke up, channeling wounds, histories, pain, joy, calm that were my own and also not my own. I've been to a lot of group therapy but this was the first time I experienced collective healing in its truest sense. My pain as your pain, your pain as mine. As something we all share, pain and discomfort stopped being the enemy. I felt safe under Kafui's guidance to let whatever came into the space flow through my physical body, trusting that it would not get stuck and cause harm. Both acting as a channel/observer for others' constellations and having my own constellation done allowed me to let go of old hurt without needing to rationalize it. I feel more connected to the world around me. I am more accepting of suffering as inevitable, understanding that if I give it room to breathe, to pass, it doesn't need to find a home in my body. Thank you Kafui, healer, space traveller, holder, friend, for inviting me to feel safe, seen, understood.”

Retreat Dec'24 Drakensberg
Kafui and Holding Space/ Sankofa Wellness Retreats offer a place to be, to breathe. A space to come home to yourself. Your gifts. Your messy parts. It's hard to capture in words what we all shared at the retreat. Kafui, Gogo Thozi, Gogo Keitu and Dharmagiri Sacred Mountain Retreat created a moment of communal sharing and healing. Something vulnerable, raw, beautiful and joyful.
I hope you are able to give yourself this gift.

Retreat Dec'24 Drakensberg
We experienced magic; No words can explain the depth of Intimacy, Love, and Safety that we marinated in.
I can safely speak for all the participants when I say our lives will never be the same.
Thank you to the land, the mountains, my ancestors, and all the participants.
This is an experience that can’t be described. It can only be felt and known.
It's now, months later, with life life-ing as it should, I remain bewildered and eternally grateful.

Retreat Dec '24 Drakensberg
I attended the Sankofa retreat in the Drakensberg at the end of 2024 when I was going through a really intense period of transition in my life. Before I even entered the space, Kafui saw me - and when I entered the space, I felt seen even more deeply, in a way that I had never experienced before. Within a week, I went from feeling suicidal, aimless and purposeless in my life to feeling enriched once again with a sense of vitality and zest. This was in large part thanks to Kafui’s skillful facilitation and witnessing, her keen awareness for the unspoken and unconscious dynamics playing out within a person’s life and their lineage, and her ability to hold a space so tender and nurturing that it allows you to unfurl. I left the retreat feeling amazed at the wonders of family constellations, hungry for more, and with a newfound community of incredible humans that I am still in touch with to this day. The entire experience was so healing - from the food we ate, to the community we fostered, to the processes we engaged with, to the land that we were blessed to be with. I have never experienced anything like this and outside of Sankofa, I doubt I will ever again. If you’re considering joining one of Kafui’s retreats, I encourage you to take the leap of faith and jump in. Sankofa surpassed all of my expectations and I am forever grateful that I said yes to this once in a lifetime experience.
