PROGRAMS

Rooted in Spirit. Guided by Tradition. Nourished by Earth.

Whether you are stepping onto the path for the first time or returning to deepen your journey, The Sanctuary is a sacred space to connect with your Self, your ancestors, and the natural world. Led by two initiated priests in the Lukumí tradition of Ifá, we offer healing and transformational programs rooted in Indigenous African spirituality and supported by earth-based wisdom.

Our offerings—available both on-land in Oakland and online—honor the body, spirit, and community through yoga, breath work, meditation, sacred sound therapy, childbirth education, postpartum healing, and bio-regional herbalism. We welcome you into a space of remembrance, restoration, and reconnection.

Drop In & Ground

Rituals, Classes & Community Gatherings

Our drop-in weekly and monthly classes are an accessible container into the living traditions of Indigenous African spirituality and healing. Whether you are looking to deepen your breath, still your mind, receive plant wisdom, or simply sit in sacred community, these offerings are rooted in reverence, relationship, and restoration.

Each session is led by one of our resident practitioners. No prior experience needed.

Seasonal Workshops & Immersions

Integrate Indigenous Practices into the Rhythm of Everyday Life

Our seasonal workshops and immersions provide powerful opportunities to root into ancestral practices and embodied spirituality. These offerings support the integration of plant wisdom, ritual, movement, energy healing, and African spiritual traditions into your daily life.

These offerings are designed to connect with our Ẹgbẹ́ Ayé (community here on earth), re-member ancestral traditions, and offer practical skills that support individual and collective liberation.

Family Centering

Raising Consciousness Together, Rooted in Earth & Spirit

Families are sacred. At The Sanctuary, we believe healing, spiritual wisdom, and ancestral remembrance begin at home and ripple outward. Whether you are learning to parent yourself, nurturing a new life, raising a child, co-parenting, repairing relationships with your parents—there is a place for your family here.

From toddler to elder, we welcome all into this space.
