Human Rights Day Hike and Trauma Healing Yoga

Unity Centre of Love and Light, a non-profit and non-political organisation is inviting the community of Johannesburg south to a Human Rights Day Hike and Trauma Healing Yoga at Kliprivier Nature Reserve on Tuesday, March 21.

The aim of the Human Rights hike is to create awareness around basic human rights as enshrined in The Bill of Rights of the South African Constitution.

According to the Founder and Spiritual Director of Unity Centre of Love and Light, Rev Thandi Nhlengetwa, even though South Africa has one of the most progressive Constitutions in the world, there are still many human rights violations in our country, like the right to education, where many children are still not able to attend school due to hunger and inadequate school facilities, especially in the rural areas.

“We will also like to have conversations around socio-economic rights, like the right to a clean safe and secure environments and how these rights can be exercised in conjunction with our responsibilities to our communities,” said Rev Nhlengetwa.

The hiking will begin at 8am at the Peggy Vera Entrance and end at 10am.

The Hike will be flowed by a Trauma Healing Yoga at 10am.

Rev Nhlengetwa said many people have had trauma in our communities, whether through crime, violence or any other stresses we face on a day-to-day basis. The aim of Trauma Healing Yoga is to support and assist individuals, through Yoga movements to release the trauma that might still be trapped in their bodies.

The hike and yoga are free, and donations can be made to the Unity Centre of Love and Light details will be provided to the participants.
