Grounded in Caribbean Lucumí tradition, Ancestral Allchemy explores reciprocity and gratitude, ancestral veneration and traditional knowledge, reclaiming the ceremonies of life and the importance of slowing down, tenderness and care, and incorporating practices into our daily lives.

Through in-person and online workshops, and writings, Ancestral Allchemy reminds all that, if we truly want to heal, we must engage in the work ancestrally. Reaching back, we dance with the ghosts of the past. What joy, to serve as a bridge across time and space. Let us all be the stewards of our histories.

In a 21st century world, retracing our ancestral footsteps may seem somewhat impossible. Once we understand that this knowledge is already in us, written in the code of our Being, listening to the messages of those who came before becomes less intimidating. The ancestors await for their kin to answer the call. In times that center narcissistic individualism, commit to community (family, biological and chosen). In cities that are fast, find opportunities to slow down.
