Come celebrate with us!

The East Coast Village will be celebrating twenty-three (23) years of ritual, healing, and community. Every year we celebrate and acknowledge the spirit of the EARTH that has made our land sacred and allowed us to come together and has provided protection for us.

Please plan to arrive by 9:00 am on Saturday. The ritual will start promptly at 10:00 am.

Bring a potluck dish to share – enough for 8-10 people.
Donations & Offerings: it is customary to make a monetary offering to Tingan. Reciprocity to the Other World allows us to maintain the connection. Thank you!

For more information, please contact Robert Walker at robertdwalker250@gmail.com.

Robert Walker, MS, (he/him/his) is an initiated elder, gatekeeper for the Tingan Shrine (tingansob) and Ritual Leader, who studied and facilitated rituals with Elder Malidoma Somé since 1988. He is one of the founding members of the East Coast Village and currently leads the annual 5-day Ancestralization ritual at the ECV. Robert has remained deeply committed to the traditional and spiritual wisdom of the Dagara people of West Africa. He believes that an understanding of the importance of reconnection to Ancestors should be brought to the Western world, where this wisdom has been lacking.
