The Ancestral Healing Convention coming to the Washington, DC area July 12-16, 2023, SAVE THE DATE!
IACT is very excited and proud to celebrate and sponsor our first Annual Five-Day Ancestral Healing Convention in the Washington, DC area next year, July 2023.
The Ancestral Healing Convention is a result of a decade of successful Ancestral Healing Conferences. The purposes of the past AH conferences and upcoming AH Convention 2023 are to bring together an Africa Centered consciousness of Black African American profound and distinguished speakers, authors, educators, celebrities and community activists who have contributed to the upliftment of human consciousness throughout their superb, sometimes controversial works, informative lectures, presentations and performances.
IACT believes that the implementation of groundbreaking initiatives, education, and programs that inspire the elevation of the "spirit/soul identity" for individuals and families is purposeful in pursuit of achieving their highest potential and necessary to break cycles of mental oppression. Therefore, IACT'S commitment is to collectively collaborate, support and motivate holistic healing modalities in mental wellness based on Africa Centered Thought.
The IACT Annual Membership package includes our Patreon Ancestral Healing Series. Your investment also presents the opportunity to partake in our Reciprocal support endeavors to unify, strengthen, nurture, and uplift Black African American entrepreneurs, educators, students, individuals and their families. This offer is valid until December 1, 2022.
