Conscious Coupling | Lessons in Love & Selecting a Partner from an Indigenous African Worldview

August 31, 2025 | 4-7pm

Gathering Description

What does it means to be love, be loved, and be loving from an African worldview?

Join us for Conscious Coupling, a powerful workshop inspired by the wisdom of The Spirit of Intimacy by Sobonfu Somé and All About Love by bell hooks.

In this sacred space for Black folks, we will explore the spiritual, ancestral, and ethical dimensions of love and partnership. Through the lens of the Ifá tradition, love is not a private pursuit but a collective journey aligned with destiny (ìpìn), character (ìwà), and harmony with nature and spirit. 

Together, we will unpack what it means to select a partner with intention, to love with clarity, and to cultivate deep connection through ancestral wisdom, ritual, and radical self-awareness.

What You'll Experience

• A new understanding of love as a sacred, communal, and ancestral practice
• Guided rituals to connect with your ancestors and cultivate clarity in relationships
• Tools for communication, honesty, and intentional partner selection
• Practices for self-love, self-honoring, and emotional boundaries
• A shift from romantic fantasy to conscious, rooted coupling
• Connection with the Earth as a guide and witness in love
