Self-Empowerment Intensive

INCLUDES 4 Day IN-PERSON RETREAT IN WINSTON SALEM, NC (flight not included): self-empowerment is overcoming fear, anger, self-denial, distrust, insecurity, and negative self-beliefs. Join us on this journey into discovering and healing your African self!

The Self-Empowerment Intensive Experience (SEIE) is a four-day intensive retreat for adults filled with ancient rituals of possession of one’s guardian spirits, protective guides, and ancestors facilitated by Iyalode Yeyefini Efunbolade and her trained priests and mediums.  The initiate will be impacted and their life choice process considerably changed by uncovering many of the spiritual, emotional, and psychological blocks that have dis-empowered, angered, and sometimes immobilized them.  Facing these issues and using rituals to transcend some of the trauma inherited from the enslavement of Africans in the Diaspora such as molestation, rape, abuse, neglect, and abandonment has helped many be more successful in their lives.
