Ancestral New Age Festival

Ancestral new age festival flyerJoin us for a transformative Lightworkers Festival dedicated to uplifting BIPOC alternative healing businesses. In recognition of the colonial influences within new age culture, this festival marks a pivotal step towards restoring right relationships with our ancestors and reclaiming cultural roots.

Embracing the theme of Afrofuturism, the festival serves as a beacon for decolonial liberatory healing work. By centering BIPOC businesses, we honor diverse healing modalities and pathways to wellness that have often been marginalized or appropriated.

Throughout the day, immerse yourself in rich workshops running from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM, each facilitated by passionate practitioners bringing forth healing modalities deeply rooted in their cultures. From 2-6:30 pm, enjoy BIPOC vendors as they offer their services. From ancestral healing rituals to herbal medicine traditions, these workshops offer a profound journey into holistic wellness practices that are in alignment with ancestral wisdom.

Together, let us honor our collective journey towards healing and empowerment, as we celebrate the diversity and resilience of BIPOC communities. Join us at the Lightworkers Festival as we co-create a space of healing, liberation, and transformation.
