Something rare is coming to Atlanta.
Over three transformative days, you are invited into a living encounter with one of humanity's oldest and most preserved traditions — the wisdom of the Dogon people. This is not a conference about ancient history. This is a direct transmission from a lineage that has never been broken — carried forward by priests, healers, and custodians who have safeguarded this knowledge beyond the reach of colonialism, erasure, and distortion.
Through inspiring lectures, interactive Q&A sessions, and meaningful community conversation, this weekend will offer grounding, clarity, and reconnection to those who have been seeking — but perhaps haven't yet found — a rooted foundation for their spiritual journey.
Why Atlanta? Why Now?
Atlanta is a city alive with spiritual curiosity and holds a deeply diverse community of people reaching for higher knowledge.
Yet across these communities, a shared challenge exists: the search for grounding. Many have begun their journeys through personal research, through a teacher who also self-taught, or through fragments of knowledge brought from ancestral lands. There is ambition. There is hunger. But without connection to lineage, history, and recognized authority, that hunger often goes unmet.
The Dogon tradition offers what has been missing. This weekend is a seed being planted — an introduction to a living tradition with history, authenticity, and authority that has largely been absent from these spaces.
What's Included
Four lectures in a seminar/conference style setting with interactive Q&A sessions
Sacred medicinal herbs from Dogon priests and healers, offered daily
Beverages and light snacks throughout the weekend
Community connection time after each session
Access to vendors including Ankhkasta, Rising Firefly, and Dogon Wisdom
Kemetic Yoga sessions available Saturday and Sunday morning
Optional Add-Ons:
In-Person Health Consultation
Health Consultations with traditional healers trained in indigenous African methods, offering a holistic, assessment of your body's systems including circulation, organs, nerves, and more to uncover the root causes of imbalance. You will leave with a comprehensive understanding of your health from a traditional African perspective, along with a personalized herbal protocol and lifestyle guidance tailored specifically to your health goals.
Private Earth EnergyReadings
Earth Energy Readings are a sacred, solutions-oriented consultation that draws upon spiritual tools rooted in the ancient healing traditions of the Nile Valley. These readings illuminate the unseen energetic and spiritual realities shaping your life, including influences from your current life, past lives, or ancestral lineage. Grounded in a deep reverence for Nature and the Earth, each reading identifies your most pressing spiritual and energetic concerns and provides clear, practical guidance on how to restore harmony, stability, and growth.
Holistic Health Coaching
Health & Lifestyle Coaching offers ongoing support that bridges the gap between insight and lasting change, helping you apply and sustain the recommendations from your health consultation or begin your healing journey with structured guidance. Working one-on-one with an experienced coach, you will gain an indigenous perspective on balancing your health and lifestyle, shifting the way you see the world in order to transform yourself from the inside out.
