This six-part series will provide an introduction to, and deepening of the religious/spiritual practices within the West African, Yorùbá Òrìṣà Tradition. This is a Nature-based, experiential, indigenous religion with rich traditions, sacred literature and practices. Topics covered will include an overview of theology, Ancestor(Egúngún) reverence, understanding the Òrìṣà (divinities), Ifá sacred literature and divination, as well as the role of sacrifice and prayer in our practices. Each session will be two hours long and will have approximately one hour of instruction and teaching and one hour of Q&A.
This series is free and open to ALL people. Children and families are welcome. Snacks will be provided. Bring a notebook if you want. Feel free to drop in for a single session, for a couple, or for all of them. It is not necessary to come to all six sessions but each session will cover something different.
