In this article I will place wind and weather at the center of a long healing process. The case study revolves around Thandi, who was one of my main informants and a good friend during three years of fieldwork in a Zulu Zionist congregation.1 I first met Thandi through Themba, the founder of the congregation and the kingpin in my research network and in charge of Thandi’s healing process.
