Marthe Muller is a 12^th generation Afrikaner fortunate to have been nurtured by the mentorship and perspectives of wise African women for over twenty years. After completing degrees in Philosophy and Political Philosophy at Stellenbosch University, she left South Africa in 1984 to pursue graduate studies in Women’s History at Sarah Lawrence College, in Bronxville, New York. She only returned to South Africa in 2000, having made a 12-year detour through Colombia, South America, where she worked in documentary filmmaking and wrote, directed and produced an audio-visual course to teach English to Spanish-speakers. She has been involved with South African Women in Dialogue (SAWID) since 2003, primarily in the role of scribe and historian of the efforts of South African women to become the agents of their own development. Her passion is governance for the growth of souls.
