A Quiet Voice was created as a creative experiment in 2021 to unlock blocked creativity. Colin Ward, the host, followed his own Quiet Voice that urged him to explore the unseen and challenge limiting beliefs. Now, the podcast is one part reflective, pulling insights from Colin's life experiences, and a home for interviews with spiritual guides, healers, writers, creatives, artists, and humans following their heart wherever it leads.
If you're on a heart path, here, you don't have to walk alone.

065 - Shamanism and Shadow Work: Aminata Fofana's Path of Ancestry and Spirit
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.
