Description

*This session is Black autonomous* Join Cherizar and Ry'ana for this experiential space as we welcome Black people into ancestral connection! We'll use contemporary tools and spirit led ritual to connect with those who came before us! Don't identify as spiritual? Your people are "unknown"?  This space is still for you! We deeply believe in the principle of Sankofa to help us heal and move towards wholeness. We honor the legacy and impact made by 89 years of Black freedom fighters. See you there!

 

Instructions: Prior to entering this space we encourage you to engage in spiritual cleansing and/or clearing meditation. We recommend Gina Breedlove’s Sound Healing session or your own ritual.  You can also bring a cleanser (sage, Florida water, salt water etc). If you identify as spiritual you will need the following to fully engage:

  • Ancestry.com account (free trial is fine)
  • White candle
  • Clear glass of water and a second empty glass or a plant that needs watering
  • Something to make noise with (your voice is fine)
  • The names of ancestors (this includes freedom fighters and kindred) 
  • Optional- White cloth (could be as basic as a paper towel)
