The Sacred Shield
During our daily hour long ceremony, we will:

• Give offerings to the Òrìṣà for divine protection
• Engage in spiritual journaling to release what no longer serves our highest good as we transition from 2024 to 2025
• Receive powerful spiritual work from our circle of initiated priests and healers
Each day of this sacred gathering builds upon the last, creating layers of protection as taught by our Ancestors. Click the link below below to view the various spiritual works we will be offering. You may choose specific elements of the spiritual work to engage in, or we offer the complete Platinum Shield Package which includes all ritual works across the five days providing comprehensive spiritual coverage as our Ancestors intended.
This is more than a ceremony it's our birthright to access these ancient African technologies of protection and healing. Chief Alaje and the 256 Family welcomes you home.
