This video shows intergenerational relationships in indigenous healing dances in Kenya. The nighttime Kilumi dance at the “Ithembo” shrine originally led by initiated older women (“iveti sya ithembo”) served to pray for rain, empower healers, exorcise evil spirits, and appease ancestors. Today, it’s expanded to include younger women and uses its ritual power to support community mental health.
