Cleansing Fees: Are they too much?

As we enter the second half of the Gregorian calendar year, many of us are gearing up and looking forward to the African new year in September and the change of season it brings.

I, and many healers, believe it is good practice to cleanse, declutter and reflect at the beginning and ending of cycles, seasons and journeys. However one signifies endings and beginnings in one’s personal context is not as important as doing the related spiritual work.

Fitting for the time of year, the conversation on pricing associated with cleansings has re-emerged on X.

User @LiseboMofokeng posed the question: “Nah but why are river cleansings so expensive? R3,500.”
