Altered States | African Ritual and Sacred Art Pathway
With Marques Redd
September 9 - 13, 2024
According to Nigerian-Igbo myth-science, human history can be divided into Four World Ages: eras of Divine Unity, Separation, Civilization, and Chaos. Blending visual art, traditional African cosmology and ritual, and creative expression, this pathway invites profound engagement with ancient wisdom and personal discovery. Participants will watch a film that explores these four stages, and then experience these stages through guided visualizations and breathwork. Participants will create oracle card decks based on images from the film for dream realm guidance.
