New Session: February 26th
In African-centered cultures across the Diaspora, the spiritual and physical realms are intricately intertwined. This connection between the natural and the supernatural is believed to maintain equilibrium and balance. The Sacred Healer, Priest, or Shaman serves as the earthly embodiment of Spirit, wielding African Sacred Technologies to heal and uplift the community through ritual, prayer, and divination.
African Traditional Religion encompasses a rich tapestry of beliefs, rituals, ceremonies, and spiritual practices that have been cherished and preserved across diverse ethnic groups in Africa and the diaspora, even amidst the hardships of slavery and colonization. These beliefs and practices form an integral part of our identity and cultural heritage.

About Nana Enyo Takyiampong
Nana Enyo Takyiampon is an Okomfo or priest who was trained at the Nana Akonnedi Shrine in Larteh, Ghana. She began her training in 1973 as result of her quest to rediscover how her African Ancestors honored and worshiped God before they were converted to Christianity during enslavement.
Nana Enyo was introduced to Nana Yaw Opare Dinizulu of Queens, New York. Nana Dinizulu brought Queen Mother Nana Okomfohene Akua Oparebeah to New York in 1971, and she initiated the first generation of African-Americans into Akom; Nana Oparebeah was introduced to the Washington, DC area by Nana Enyo's family, and Nana Enyo began her training at that time. Nana Enyo completed her training at Larteh, Ghana, in 1976 and immediately returned to Washington, DC, to officially serve as an Okomfo. She continues to serve the community by providing readings, spiritual counseling, and training for new Okomfo.
Nana Enyo is now the Okomfohemaa or Queen Mother, for Nana Esi Ketewaa the mother spirit of the Nana Akonnedi Shrine. NanaEsi Ketawaa is the communicator between the living and the ancestors..
Nana Enyo is also a mother of 4 children and has 8 grandchildren. She still resides in Washington, DC.
