Time: 7:30pm - 9pm
Cost: $45*

About the event

A group experience to call in, ground, and embody individual joy; and to support the elevation of joy across the globe. 

Utilizing the sonic vibration of the album FORIBALE, and a mixed modality approach that includes additional sound, laying of hands, ritual work, body awareness/somatic practices and movement, Onyi will hold space for attendees to shift perspective about, release, or integrate what is necessary in order to remember and hold hands with their joy. 

Whether you are just beginning your healing journey, in a stage of ongoing exploration, or have reached a plateau, you are invited to join us to be supported (within community) as you continue on the path to becoming more of who you are. 

All spiritual practices, religious backgrounds and perspectives are welcome.

About FORIBALE

Meaning to touch one’s head to the ground--the Earth--as an act of greeting, acknowledgment, and reverence in the Yorùbá language, this work is an invitation to consider the act of honoring ourselves, each other, and our planet as a remedy for the current non-preferred experiences of humanity. Each song is rich with symbolism and references to the elements/forces of nature and their correlated energies/deities (i.e., Òrìṣà / Orisha / Orixa / Oricha) within the Yorùbá ancestral traditions, wisdom, and technology.

International Women’s Day Healing Ceremony

HEALING CEREMONY WITH ONYI LOVE hosted by RA MA Institute

An Activation & Healing Ceremony with Onyi Love in honor of International Women’s Day

*All spectrums of humans are welcome!
———————————————————-
Friday, March 8, 2024
7:30pm-9:00pm PST
In Person ONLY at RA MA Los Angeles
———————————————————-
Join us for a collective moment to commune, release, heal, and activate together. Utilizing a mixed-modality approach that includes sound, laying of hands, ritual, body awareness, somatic practices, and movement, Onyi holds space for attendees to experience activation, breakthrough and integration across the spectrum of their bodies.
Whether you are just beginning your healing journey, are in a stage of ongoing exploration, or have reached a plateau, you are invited to contribute to and harness the energy generated within this experience to catapult you into the next phase of your metamorphosis.

———————————————————-

Preparation/Instructions (suggestions for optimal experience)

  • Set intention: Meditate on/ask your bodies what you are ready to heal/breakthrough.

  • Food/drink: Stay hydrated and eat well for yourself–whatever that looks like for you and your body. If you are able, level up your diet up in some way.

Bring the following:

  • Water to drink

  • A small-medium empty bottle/container that can hold water (with a lid)

  • Journal/notepad

  • Something connected to one or more women in your ancestry with whom you have a deep connection. Examples: a photo or drawing, a name written on paper, cloth/article of clothing they owned, piece of jewelry, etc.

  • Attire: Wear clothing you can move/be moved in and don’t mind getting a little wet if water is incorporated. Light colored–and if possible white clothing–is encouraged.

At Brown University, Camellia earned an Africana Studies degree under the guidance of Dr. Keisha-Khan Y. Perry. Camellia fundraised to bring Ifa priest Awo Fasegun to lecture at Brown, then transcribed and made the recording publicly available. In 2020, they published the first book in English by 82-year-old Candomblé priestess Ebomi Cici, directing all royalties and author credit to the elder. Camellia currently studies Ni lineage Daoist healing at Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the International Taoist Meditation Institute. Camellia is certified by the College of Tao and the CHI Health Institute in Self-Healing Qigong and practices InfiniChi® energy work.

Discussion & Healing: Spiritual Abuse, Betrayal, and Excommunication

This event is a forum.  Its purpose is to allow individuals to openly discuss, share their hurt, betrayal, and abuse by trusted spiritual leaders, mentors, and teachers.

It is in this space that healing and processing can begin.  

The facilitators for this forum are spiritual leaders, counselors, energetic and somatic healers, who understand these experiences from their own personal journey.  They include:

Swept Away: Love Letter to A Surrogate

This community-oriented art project aims to create a transcontinental heartbeat across America. In September 2022, 65 LA artists sent "love letters" to artists in Long Island who responded with live performances on East Hampton's Main Beach in October. On April 22 & 23, the 65 west coast artists will present their performances inspired by their East Coast counterparts' letters.

Swept Away is created and produced by Warren Neidich, Christina Strassfield, Anuradha Vikram, Renée Petropoulos, and Julie McKim. Presented by 18th Street Arts Center and Guild Hall in East Hampton, and made possible with support from Art of Recovery, a City of Santa Monica Cultural Affairs initiative, and Annenberg Community Beach House.

This performance will be held on Santa Monica State Beach in the area in front of the Annenberg Community Beach House.

ONYI LOVE to perform with and in support of Iya Catherine Scoti Scott presenting and conducting a cleansing.

This is a free event, and open to all. No RSVP needed.
