Episode 7 : True Progress and Restoration of the Whole with Rutendo Ngara - Feminine Futures

Feminine Futures is bringing together the voices of seven powerful women with a broad set of expertise — spiritual, psychological, ecological, and economic — to reassess progress from a feminine living-world perspective.

In this seventh and final episode of the series you will hear from Rutendo Ngara, an African Indigenous Knowledge Systems holder and trans-disciplinary researcher. She is a practitioner of a number of physical disciplines, including Dance, Yoga and Wushu/Kung Fu/Tai Ji. Rutendo has represented South Africa as an international silver medallist in the latter. She serves on a number of boards, including the Credo Mutwa Foundation (as Chairperson), the South African Wushu Federation, and the ASSEGAIA Alliance for protection of sacred sites. She holds a BSc in Electrical Engineering, an MSc in Medicine in Biomedical Engineering, and is pursuing a doctorate in Philosophy of Education. The quest for harmony, healing the whole, and co-existence underpins her endeavors.

True Progress and Restoration of the Whole, is a poetic journey into the past and forward into the future. Rutendo will share about the spiritual systems and practices of indigenous Africans. We will hear about principles such Ubuntu (humanity to others) and Sankofa, and explore what it means to apply our humanity to others and learn from the past to inform the future. We will see the world through the lens of African indigenous cultures, and take inspiration from the natural curves of a river and the natural cycles of time. We will look at the link between the ancient, the local, and the feminine, and weave together diverse lessons that can help us build life-giving futures for all.
