Death and Mourning
This course offers a profound insight into the Kogi’s understanding of death and mourning. Far from being a taboo or an end, death is seen as a sacred transition, one that requires deep preparation and spiritual guidance.
With teachings from Mama Shibulata you’ll learn how the soul is guided to Golkuche, the village of the dead. You’ll explore the importance of spiritual offerings, final confessions, ancestral permission, and the unseen consequences of unresolved emotions. The course offers a rare window into how death, when approached consciously, can bring peace not only to the soul but also to those left behind.
