Sikhethiwe Mlotsha is a reflective steward embedded in Kufunda Village, Zimbabwe.
Founded in 2001, Kufunda is a place guided by the principle of ‘Living the future we want today’, from Biodynamic farming that grows food in harmony with Earth and the cosmos, to the Waldorf School, where children are nurtured in ways that honour their full being and encourage them to grow with respect for the wider web of life.
For two decades, as a practitioner of Art of Hosting and inspired by Earth jurisprudence, Sikhethiwe has been leading a collective inquiry into how people can be more fully alive together. Central to this inquiry is her dedicated work with women; she facilitates women’s circles where participants co-create safe spaces for deep healing, shared learning, and cultivating sisterhood.
The practices she fosters combine deep listening, storytelling, Circle processes, ancestral traditions, and honouring the Earth, all in the service of an extended web of life. At Kufunda and in her wider engagements, she has witnessed how communities can be transformed when they learn to care not only for one another, but also for the Earth to which they belong.
