Have you ever felt a yearning to connect with your ancestral roots? Discover the wisdom of the ancient Yoruba tribe from the West African coast of Nigeria. Embark on a transformative journey that delves into the rich spiritual traditions and profound knowledge of the ancestors.

Many people in the United States, the Caribbean, and Central and South America today can trace their ancestry to the Yoruba tribe, as countless Yoruba people were forcibly transported to the New World during the era of slavery. The Yoruba Kingdom flourished until the 18th and 19th centuries when the transatlantic slave trade began. During this period, innumerable Yoruba individuals were captured, transported across the Atlantic Ocean, and subjected to slavery. This resulted in a significant decline of the Yoruba population and caused severe destabilization of the empire. Despite these challenges, Yoruba culture persists and thrives globally, manifested through art, music, dance, and various religious traditions, including Santería, Candomblé, Umbanda, and aspects of Haitian Vodou.
