      Będziemy się za was modlić. Z Polski do Zimbabwe ścieżkami Przodków to książka wprowadzająca czytelnika na ścieżkę mistyczną – drogą snów, choroby szamańskiej, podróży z USA do Peru, do Zimbabwe, opowieściami szamanów i uzdrowicieli, mitologii afrykańskiej i polskich bajek, językiem poezji. Jest to książka która pokazuje, że są różne drogi do Boga. Wbrew własnej woli, autorka przeszła druzgocącą chorobę szamańską, która najpierw prowadzi do śmierci ego i przyziemnego życia, a potem do nowego życia w bliskości sacrum. Sny zaprowadziły ją do Zimbabwe, gdzie odkryła zupełnie inny, lecz bardzo znajomy świat, który pokazuje, że Bóg jest wszędzie, we wszystkim i wszystkich, że Przodkowie nas kochają i nigdy nie opuszczają. Droga mistyczna nie jest drogą zabobonów, lecz głębokiego sensu istoty życia – jest to droga inicjacji od ludzi, przyrody, Wielkiej Miłości, aż wreszcie znajdujemy się w domu. Książka Klary jest porywającą opowieścią człowieka, który wbrew swej woli dotknął świętości. Zajmuję się szamanizmem naukowo od 10 lat i stąd wiem, że historia Klary wpisuje się w światowy fenomen obecny na wszystkich kontynentach, choć w Europie zapomniany. Rdzenne ludy syberyjskie, amerykańskie, australijskie i afrykańskie zapadają na chorobę szamańską, która wyniszcza ciało i odmienia psychikę, nieleczona często prowadzi do szaleństwa. W Europie takich ludzi kieruje się do szpitali psychiatrycznych. Najstarsze kultury wiedzą, że jest to powołanie do służenia ludziom, do porzucenia strefy profanum i wejścia w sacrum. Klara – jako jedyna Polka – przeszła chorobę i inicjację szamańską w kulturze południowoafrykańskich Shona. Jej historia jest równie porywająca co powieść sensacyjna, zaś język brzmi jak poezja. „Będziemy się za was modlić...” jest lekturą dla osób szukających w życiu głębi, a także dla tych, którzy chcą się oderwać od otaczającej ich rzeczywistości i przeżyć przygodę życia. Długo będę nosić w sercu jej opowieść. dr Agnieszka Podolecka, orientalistka i afrykanistka, autorka powieści „Za głosem sangomy” i „Żar Sahelu” Klara Wojtkowska jest muzykiem, pisarką, aktorką, reżyserką, nauczycielką, uzdrowicielką i założycielką Mhondoro Dreams – teatru ceremonii skupiającego się na działalności duchowo-artystyczno-performatorskiej. Mhondoro Dreams ma zbudować pomost kulturowo-artystyczny między Zimbabwe a Polską. Jej pierwsza podwójna płyta, Bangiza 1 i Bangiza 2 (Olśnienie), to zbiór piosenek łączących instrumenty afrykańskie ze skrzypcami. Jej najnowsza sztuka, NZARA: Hunger, miała udaną premierę w Zimbabwe. Klara jest absolwentką Yale University i Rice University. Była także stypendystką Thomas J. Watson Fellowship. Poza sztuką, Klara wykonuje prace uzdrawiające w dziedzinie wróżbiarstwa (z Afryki), rytuałów, ceremonii i indywidualnych sesji terapeutycznych.
