Reviews
"Orisa 101 is such an amazing series! I was at a loss when Obasina said that it was coming to an end. These classes have given me the confidence to get up and “do work”! The information is presented in an easy to digest manner, very well written and thought provoking. Aside from learning the prayers, general facts about working with Egungun, Ori, and Orisa, Obasina really spoke on the culture and complexity of the Yoruba cosmology erasing the idea that “they are other” or in someway not as developed as we are in the America’s. Overall I am abundantly grateful to be apart of such a wonderful Ile that has creative brilliant minds like that of Obasina. Mojuba Obasina" - Marquita M.
"I just want to say thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve learned from your classes over the last year and become much more confident and successful in my practice because of it! " - James S.
