I recorded this episode as a way to process grief and share stories surrounding my Dharma teacher, Sheila Wharton. Lessons about love, service, grief, and I share lessons from conversations with Sheila, as well as the magical story of visiting her home.

Dedicated to Sheila Wharton and all the beings who live service-oriented lives to help us along the healing path through divine grace.

May all beings be happy, may all beings live in peace, and may all beings be free from suffering.

In this episode of A Quiet Voice Podcast, Colin sits down with Aminatà Fofana, founder of African Ning Meditation, bestselling author of The Moon That Followed Me, and a teacher whose journey bridges the ancestral wisdom of West Africa with modern healing practices.

Born in a small village in Guinea and granddaughter of a traditional shaman, Aminatà’s life has spanned the fashion runways of Europe, the recording studio as an international singer, and ultimately a profound return to her roots. After losing her voice through thyroid surgery, she embraced the path of meditation, ancestral memory, and deep presence — creating the African Ning Meditation technique that she now shares worldwide.

In this conversation, Aminatà shares her story of transformation, the importance of ancestral connection, and how each of us can reconnect to soul, nature, and presence.
