Ritual, Ceremony, Fellowship
Coming Together With Intention
Community. Village. Ile. Egbe. Groups that come together with the intention to learn, grow, heal, venerate, and worship. Ritual and Ceremony are an important part of Orisha tradition regardless of which path you choose to follow. As you explore more, you may feel a louder call to not simply experience Orisha, but take a more committed connection through ceremonies like Initiation. Here are a brief list of different ceremonies and service that support you in creating intentional connection.
Isefa
From Aborisha to Onifa
You have attended Ose with Owinni. Maybe you are enrolled in From Self to Source only. You took a class. Whatever it is, your Ori and your Ancestors are speaking to you, saying it's time to begin. It's time to move from Aborisha (general devotee and student) to a more involved commitment (Onifa) and receive your Isefa/Hand of Ifa.
Hand of Ifa is a starting point. It helps you begin the process of cultivating a relationship within the tradition. Through this leg of the journey you will create routines and learn ritual. You are laying the foundation for your personal spiritual practice.
Note: This is not initiation. It is a commitment to building a foundation. Making for fertile ground to journey more to yourself.
Isefa involves shrine consecration, divination, and in my lineage you also receive your name. If you are planning on getting Hand of Ifa, make sure you are enrolled in From Self to Source with Ifa or you've already completed that course with me.
Exceptions - Children under 10 that need Isefa, Ifa indicates some urgency, receiving the shrine for your business and not yourself personally.
Will this make me a member of your Ile?
Yes. This means divination is required to confirm not simply if the ceremony is in alignment, but if this lineage is in alignment with you and you with us.
Is there training involved?
Yes, basic Hand of Ifa Level I is required as well as enrollment in From Self to Source with Ifa.
Do you have to come in person?
Unlike full initiation or Orisha initiation, this is a ceremony and thus can be done virtually. Ceremony season is annually in May.
How much is everything?
I have multiple payment options available. If you are making payments with your class, you must have made at least 8 payments before you are eligible for the next group of ceremonies. Options are listed below.

​
From Self to Source
With Ifa
Initiation (Itefa)
Some people feel a deeper call to the tradition and venture to undergo initiation. However, this is not simply about walking the path of an Orisha practitioner. Nor, does it make you an Priest or Priestess.
The true intention of Initiation is to journey to your Divine Self. Initiation is a commitment to live and walk as your authentic self.
The journey with me begins with YOU and culminates in ceremony to solidify your inner knowing.
In short, this ritual helps you to align even closer to your destiny. Consider it like learning not only the why, but different aspects of why you were born. Other ceremonies, like Orisha initiation, provide awareness of the additional support you have on your journey.
Not everyone needs to initiate into the tradition. Your ancestors and Ori, along with divination, will confirm if this step is aligned to you and your journey.
For anyone who feels they want to take this journey with me, your journey begins with my mentorship program. You can join the program even if you have no intention to initiate.
