Men’s Retreat
Join Brujo Ryan for a 3-day weekend retreat for gay, bi, and queer men. This weekend includes several lecture style history lessons about the development of creole religions in the Western Hemisphere during slavery. It will briefly touch on the beliefs and practices of Afro-Indigenous religions such as Vodou, Orisha, Palo, Rootwork, and Espiritismo Cruzado. It will teach the practical application of medicinal and magical herbalism with crystal and astrological correspondences (Ryan’s speciality). Other magical arts will be taught such as how to practice divination, candle magick, and spiritual self defense. We will practice Yoga as well as have a massage exchange. Instructions about how to set up an ancestral shrine and how to start working with your spirit guides will also be covered. Limited spots are available!
