Alexandra Bourne is a medicine woman, artist, and storyteller, whose work bridges the ancient and contemporary through soul, story, and ceremony. Her creative journey, The Pilgrimage to the Cradle of Mankind, traces not only a path across sacred landscapes but a deep exploration of what it means to be human. She has spent the last decade travelling solo in remote places in an odyssey that was completed where the first heartbeats of humanity once echoed in the lands of Africa. On this journey Alexandra experienced art to be both language and medicine. The invocation of colour, form, and movement became tools for remembrance and healing. Her paintings have stretched all over the world, leaving with them, the essence of love and spirit. Guided by creativity and the teachings of elders and medicine people, she has cultivated a practice that honours rhythm, ritual, and intention as vehicles for transformation. From this medicine walk, Alexandra invites others into a shared ceremony of awakening, one that celebrates connection, humility, and the living pulse of Creator that unites us all.

The published book, The Pilgrimage to the Cradle of Mankind, is scheduled for release in 2026.
