Important Note on Spiritual Baths

A Spiritual Bath is a traditional African purification designed to clear negative energy, refresh your spirit, and reset your personal alignment. Using natural herbs, waters, and intentional practice, this session helps release emotional heaviness and tension so you can walk away feeling grounded, renewed, and spiritually clear.

Whether you’re looking to clear lingering stress or simply want to restore your inner balance, this guided cleansing experience offers a peaceful space to recharge.

🎟️ Admission to the event is completely FREE!

If you'd like to participate in the Spiritual Baths session, pre-ordering your bath in advance is strongly recommended to reserve your spot.

What to Wear for Spiritual Baths:

• Please wear a bathing suit under your clothes, or wear clothing where water can run on your arms legs and head.
