End of the Year Ceremony

The Awan for Olokun and other end of year rituals of deep cleansing, release, reflection, and renewal are explored. If COVID conditions allow, then a real time ritual with travel may be planned. If this is not possible, then we will gather virtually for year-end rites for cleansing grief,  stagnation, and fears of 2020, and then preparing the way for a new calendar year of great possibilities!
