FUTURE PLANS
Shanti-Chi supports Nne Agwu’s next steps to physically building with community a safe sacred space we can call Nne Agwu the village in Ghana so we have a permanent place for we sovereign ones. I am a oral traditionalist, sacred space builder, expedition leader, community activist & nature lover, and certified builder of handcrafted ancient geometrical structures using natural materials. I invite you to join me on this mighty and wondrous journey. Ubuntu - "I am because we are, because we are therefore I am"
Doing for self, for family and community supports our community health, well-being & prosperity. Courses in handcrafted sacred geometrical build in the UK and primarily Ghana will start soon. The strategy is for community to learn to build and while learning to build, actually contribute to building the village. Then you may choose to become a long term member of the sacred ne Agwu village or you may go off and build your own sacred space.
Help us raise £7000 to purchase initial tools. We are running 12 fundraising walks, a 1-day storytelling feast between April and August 2025. Book a walk, a feast, a course, become a monthly sponsor, help actualise the ubuntu of the Nne Agwu Village. “It takes a village to repair, reclaim and remember”. Check website for details. Donate generously to this ancestral work that benefits our future leaders! Daalu - divine thanks!

Nne Agwu is a 4-day family storytelling festival to inspire the creative well-being of the melanin rich UK communities and support the evolution of the oral tradition of storytelling.
Nne Agwu run innovative workshops and master classes for community participants and emerging storytellers/ artists respectively. We provide a safe space to try out and develop new work. There will be an emphasis on using modern day events to create contemporary folktales.
The aim of the Nne Agwu Afrakan Storytelling Family retreat is to:
*promote our culture and celebrate the artistry of the oral traditions of storytelling.
*create new stories for the genre and provide a platform nurturing emerging and professional storytellers.
*reconnect with the natural environment and develop our creative and spiritual well-being.
* Create an Afrakan storytelling village on the landscape of our motherland and Britain.
Each year we honour: an esteemed ancestor from our community with an opening ceremony curated in collaboration with participants.
Over the past 15 years the Shanti-Chi vizion grows from strength to strength. We deliver all your storytelling magic and basic expedition needs. We are trained oral historians; capturing the story of the individual, the family, the community (in whatever form that may take). We are professional storytellers working with the ancestral patterns and energies which govern a story structure. This puts us in a unique position to create bespoke stories for all ocassions, rituals and ceremonies.
