Individual Head Rogation Ceremony will begin after the informational lecture.
You can choose to attend the lecture portion only of the day.
The Ori in the Ifa-Orisha tradition encompasses a lot more than just a descriptive anatomy of a person's head. Ori is where the person's true essence, personality and soul's destiny resides. The "ori-inu" (the inner head) is the most sacred component of our human aspects. At birth, humans forget about heaven and their ordained destiny. It is only through the ori that we remember the course of our chosen destiny and with the acknowledgement of our Ori are we able to {Ori}ent ourselves to fulfill our destiny.
This ceremony is called "koborí eledá" and it is a cleansing of the crown meridians of the head along other points on the body to uplift, illuminate and open your mind to your life path. The lecture will discuss the basic fundamentals of the Ori, the importance of feeding the crown, mental health issues, concerns when the Ori is out of alignment, wellness recommendations, advice and personal rituals on how to protect your crown for the remainder of the year.
*All are welcome, and you do not have to be an initiate nor a priest(ess) to attend the lecture or ceremony.
All Attendees must dress in all white.
If you choose to have a personal Ori Cleansing session:
- Bring (2) brown Coconuts; (1) white headwrap.
- Please plan accordingly to attend this lecture with time and ease, it is recommended you have no social plans after the ceremony as it is best to go home and rest for the remainder of the day.
May Cool Heads Prevail!
