Ibaye in Memoriam

In 2019, unaware of the upcoming COVID-19 pandemic, meditation at an ancestral altar revealed a vision to memorialize the passing of community members. The KIIRE WELLNESS FAMILY heeded this call. Now produced annually, ÌBÀYẸ́ IN MEMORIAM videos are compilations of members of various African Traditional Religious practices (ATRs) and cultures throughout the African diaspora as well as activist for the rights of marginalized people whom we have lost to the inevitable. Through ancient practice using 21st century technology, we honor, remember, and bring attention to the lives and passing of these great individuals. We offer our sincere condolences to our families, friends, and communities, and pray that the collective virtual memorials will augment efforts to bring peace, healing, and camaraderie to all and everlasting light to the spirits of our ancestors.
