I speak from lived experience, as a biologist, frontline conservation activist, and founder of Shikibuntu. These are not lectures. They are honest, embodied conversations that leave people feeling something.

Language
This is not a Language Class.
Language is not a skill to acquire. It is a body to inhabit. A lens to feel through. Shikibuntu teaches language as embodied experience — rooted in ecology, song, story, and community.
I offer immersive language experiences that blend ecological storytelling, ubuntu philosophy, and embodied learning. Whether it's Spanish from the jungle, or conversations about what the land remembers — this is language as reconnection.
Gift Economy
This work lives outside the market.
Shikibuntu operates on gift economy principles. I show up fully — and you decide what this is worth to your community. No fixed fee. No lesser version based on budget.
Let's talk about your event
I read every message personally. Whether it's a conference, a festival, a community gathering, or a school — reach out and we'll figure it out together.
Whatever you have in mind — speaking, hosting, volunteering, collaboration — start here. I read every message personally.
How much does it cost?
Your community, your capacity.
No fixed fee. We talk about what your community can offer — money, trade, food, shelter, or simply the space to do the work.
Nothing withheld.
I don't offer a lesser version based on budget. The fire is the same regardless of what the exchange looks like.
Mutual reciprocity.
Ubuntu means we hold each other. If you can give more, you help someone else access this who couldn't otherwise.
