Ceremonies
From birth to transition, every milestone in a person’s life is a celebration of spirit and a continuation of community. Each ritual is approached with reverence, ancestral alignment, and deep spiritual care. We offer sacred services including:
- Esentaye (birth readings)
- Komojade (naming ceremonies)
- Orisa Initiations
- Ileke Ceremonies
- Marriage Readings & Officiating...and so much more.
Materials for Learning
We pride ourselves on being an institute of learning. While the foundation of our teachings is rooted in West African spiritual sciences. While West African spiritual sciences are the center of instruction, we honor the necessary adaptations and merging of cultures that make Diasporic Orisa worship and ancestral veneration accessible, relevant, and powerful for melanated people around the globe.
Our offerings include classes that weave traditional West African principles with Diasporic wisdom, creating a holistic and grounded path for spiritual development.
Community Events
Ilesa Iyipada curates intentional, joy-filled events throughout the year to uplift and unite the community. These gatherings are rooted in tradition, cultural celebration, and collective healing. We believe community is a cornerstone of spiritual growth. Our events create space for reconnection with spirit, with self, and with each other. Each event is designed to nurture belonging and ancestral remembrance. Whether you are newly walking your path or deeply rooted in practice, our doors are open. You’ll find wisdom, laughter, dance, and the steady rhythm of drums calling us home.
