A wellbeing workshop to demystify the ancestral sciences by learning from how Igbo foremothers used to attune to, embrace and alchemise surrounding energies for individual and collective healing. Participants will be introduced to how the Igbo calendar can be used to manifest an embodied awareness of our inner and outer worlds.

What do I need to know?

A hụrụ m gị n’anya (loosely translated) is Igbo for ‘I am seeing you and I love you’. Seeing each other and being seen by each other is super important to us so, for all of our online events, we kindly request hat everyone in the space has their camera on as much as possible. Thank your for your courage.
