In the 1960s, Nigerian drummer Babatunde Olatunji electrified Esalen with the power of Yoruba rhythm, ritual, and ancestral connection. In his upcoming August workshop, Ayodeji Ogunnaike continues that lineage, returning Yoruba wisdom to Esalen through the sacred tradition of Ifá — a living cosmology rooted in divination, nature, and deep spiritual alignment. Ayodeji brings this indigenous practice — a vibrant, unfolding path of guidance, ethics, and ecological harmony — forward with clarity and care, inviting us into intimate relationship with self, spirit, and the Earth.
