Baba Mandaza Kandemwa

Baba Mandaza is a Spiritual Guide of Dharmagiri Retreat, the Center founded by Kittisaro and Thanissara in South Africa.

Mandaza Augustine Kandemwa was born a Svikiro, a carrier of many earth and water spirits, and a Mhondoro, Lion Spirit, and one who is in constant prayer on behalf of others. As a vessel of the Spirits, Mandaza receives visions and dreams, makes offerings, performs healing rituals, and serves as a messenger for the Ancient Ones.

Baba Mandaza teaches us to become “living prayers” so we can be in service of the One Spirit that exists in all things. He lives in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe and travels far and wide as a Peacemaker. As an emissary of Mother Nature, Baba Mandaza guides retreats, healing ceremonies, and gatherings around the world.

Baba also runs retreats at Dharmagiri Sacred Mountain Retreat on Mvuleni-Bamboo Mountain in the Southern Drakensberg, KwaZulu Natal, guiding meditators into a profound reclamation and remembrance of the sacredness of nature.
