Join Rites Now as they recognize the second day of the Departure Phase, through a series of sacred rituals that signify removing oneself from the community to go on a journey of self, departing from old ways, and refining an understanding of identity. Embrace the Rites and Rights of Passage through the Icaro through an afternoon of medicine songs and healing drums. Traditional Icaros are sung by shamans during sacred plant ceremonies, to solidify the sacred bond between plants, ourselves, and sound to heal what’s deep with us. Join participants of Pan African Connection’s Unbutu Market and drum circle to activate an afternoon of sacred songs that have healed communities throughout generations!
