Our online song classes are a perfect fit for those who love to feel the magic of orisa song! We honor the ancestors and elders who have helped to preserve orisa traditions so that people may live richer spiritual lives. We connect to the orisa, universal forces and divinities, of the Yoruba Pantheon. Beginners and experienced singers, join our global song community, and unleash your voice in prayer!
Iya Amma McKen guides in an open-hearted, fun, and safe space where participants learn essential songs to sing in the Yoruba/Lukumi languages. Practical guidance on songs will offer an opportunity to support Yoruba/Lukumi ceremonies and functions. A deepened connection is established by way of prayer through songs so that you can make direct connection to orisa in your own personal spiritual practice.
Each month Iya Amma will teach a series of songs devoted to a particular orisa(s). Instruction videos will be presented once a week and can be viewed at your own pace. These essential songs will be presented in the order that they would be sung in a ceremony. Along with the song classes, our private online "Song Community" page will grant you access to a forum to ask questions, post song videos, and share lyrics. Once a month we will gather live in a Zoom format for a recap of the orisa studied, Q&A, and group sing along.
