A “sangoma” is a southern African healer, and this house is a special healing place. Come and be transformed….

PETS
I have one tiger-striped cat, named Tamu. If I cannot take her with me, then I need her to be cared for in my home.

LOCATIONS
I am interested in house swaps of a month or longer.

TESTIMONIAL FROM SABBATICAL HOMES RENTER
By Rosemary (Gettysburg, PA)
Our stay at Sangoma was brilliant! The house is southwest chic and more. It is a wonderful blend of east meets west that creates an air of peacefulness and stirs the creative instincts. Wonderful beamed ceilings, perfect lighting, luxurious bathrooms and hi-tech everything. Best of all are the Tibetan prayer flags that surround the property and the delightful wind chimes. AND, the views are incomparable. You will not want to leave.

I run a non-profit project called Izilwane, which is creating a website portal that will focus on how we, as human beings, perceive ourselves in relationship to other species and nature. The goal of the site is to awaken our viewers, at a visceral as well as at an intellectual level, to the fact that we are embedded in our local ecosystems and the global ecosystem. We hope that it will become a forum where people from disparate backgrounds (from academics to laypersons) can exchange ideas and become leaders in conceptualizing new ways for us to interact positively with other species and the environment. For the past 30 years, I've been a journalist, writing professor, international aid worker/anthropologist, somatic experiencing practitioner, and President of the non-profit Perception. I love writers staying in my home and I love traveling to other people's homes, so house-swaps of a month or longer work well for me. I have a cat, Tamu, a tiger-striped female who came to me as a stray. She either travels with me or stays in my home, depending upon the situation. I’m also open to renting my home for those who don’t have a house swap option.
