Ancestral Shrine Making

Across many African and diasporic traditions, honoring the ancestors is a foundational spiritual practice. An ancestral shrine is not a place of worship, but a sacred space of remembrance, gratitude, alignment, and guidance. It is a bridge between generations, a physical expression of lineage, identity, and continuity.

This class is designed especially for individuals seeking deeper spiritual grounding, cultural reconnection, and intentional living. Whether you are beginning your ancestral journey or strengthening an existing practice, this experience provides both historical context and practical instruction.

Participants will:

• Explore the cultural and historical significance of ancestral veneration in African traditions
• Understand the spiritual science behind altar building and sacred space creation
• Learn how to select and prepare meaningful shrine items
• Practice proper altar placement and energetic alignment
• Participate in a guided libation ritual
• Develop a sustainable daily or weekly ancestral honoring practice
• Receive (Free) items to start their own shrine
