WHERE THE SACRED LIVES

Explore your questions at this virtual retreat

Spiritual identity isn’t always a straight line.

If you’ve ever felt the pull of more than one spiritual home, you are not alone. This virtual retreat creates space for sacred inquiry into the lived experience of practicing both Christianity and Ifa. We’ll explore how two spiritual lineages—often seen as incompatible—can both be sources of divine truth, ancestral wisdom, and deep healing.

Whether you are navigating similar dualities or simply want to understand a different perspective, this retreat welcomes your curiosity and your complexity. Your path may not look like anyone else’s—and that is exactly where the sacred lives.

This Event is for you if ....

you’ve been walking with Jesus but feel drawn to ancestral practices and want to explore that calling without guilt or fear

you’re already practicing both Christianity and Ifa and are seeking community, clarity, or simply a place to be seen

you’re curious about African spiritual systems but want to explore them with nuance, respect, and spiritual depth—not trend or spectacle

you’re a spiritual seeker who values truth from multiple sources and wants to learn from someone authentically living that path

you’re a healer, practitioner, or guide who holds space for others and needs time to reflect on your own spiritual integration

QUESTIONS

Your Questions Answered

Is this retreat only for people who practice both Christianity and Ifa?

No. This retreat is open to anyone—whether you walk both paths, are curious about either, or simply want to explore how different spiritual traditions can coexist. All are welcome, including those in transition, exploration, or spiritual questioning.

Do I need prior knowledge of Ifa to attend?

Not at all. This retreat is rooted in personal experience and spiritual reflection, not formal training or deep theology. If you’re open, respectful, and curious, you’ll feel right at home.

Will there be religious rituals or ceremonies during the retreat?

No formal rituals will be performed. The retreat will include storytelling, guided reflection, and spiritual dialogue—but it’s designed to be inclusive and reflective, not ceremonial.

Is this a safe space for people who are still questioning or feel conflicted about their beliefs?

Yes. This retreat is intentionally created to hold space for complexity, tension, and doubt. There is no pressure to arrive with certainty—just a willingness to explore with honesty and heart.

What if I’m nervous about how others (family, church, etc.) will perceive me attending?

You’re not alone in that. Many people carry those concerns, and part of this retreat is creating space to process them. Your participation is confidential, and you’re encouraged to engage in whatever way feels safe for you.

Will sessions be recorded if I can’t attend live?

Yes. All main sessions will be recorded and shared with registered participants so you can revisit the content or catch up if you can't make it live.
