Honoring His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I — July 23

Join us in sacred gathering for the Rastafari Nyabinghi Ceremony, a divine celebration of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I’s Earthstrong — a time of deep reverence, joy, and remembrance. The Nyabinghi is the heartbeat of Rastafari tradition, an ancient ceremonial practice rooted in African liberation, spiritual awakening, and unity.

The word Nyabinghi translates to “Death to Black and White Downpressors” — a powerful chant of freedom and divine justice — yet in the heart of Rastafari livity, it also speaks to the death of ignorance, division, and illusion, calling all beings back into oneness with the Most High.

The ceremony is a living vibration of drumming, chanting, prayer, and fire, centered around the three sacred drums— the bass, fundeh, and repeater — each one carrying a specific rhythm of creation. As the drums call, the people respond, their chants rising in praise of Jah Rastafari, celebrating life, liberation, and the eternal reign of His Majesty.

During this sacred observance, we gather as one family in praise, meditation, and ancestral remembrance, surrounded by the rhythm of the heartbeat — the drum — which connects us to the Earth and the Divine. The Nyabinghi fire burns continuously throughout the ceremony, representing the eternal light of Jah, purifying and sanctifying all who come near.

This Earthstrong celebration is a divine invitation — not only to observe but to feel, to learn, and to honor the living culture and spirituality of Rastafari. It is a time to witness tradition in motion, to reconnect with the roots of African identity, and to experience how Rastafari livity expresses reverence, discipline, and love for the Almighty through communal prayer, song, and service.

Come sit by the fire.
Listen to the drum.
Chant the praises of the Most High.
And let the vibration of Nyabinghi awaken remembrance within your soul —
for this is a celebration, a portal for transformation and a living testament to the divine presence that dwells in I and I.

Though it’s not our usual path to visit mainstream tourist destinations, Dunn’s River Falls in Ocho Rios holds a sacred exception. This majestic waterfall is more than a postcard attraction, it is a living, breathing portal of transformation, carrying within its cascading waters the ancient vibration of healing, wonder, and renewal.

Dunn’s River Falls is one of Jamaica’s most iconic natural treasures — a rare travertine waterfall that continuously regenerates itself from deposits of calcium carbonate. Flowing directly into the Caribbean Sea, it represents the eternal cycle of life — the seamless dance between mountain and ocean, source and surrender.

For generations, these waters have been revered by locals for their cleansing and restorative properties. Long before the falls became a celebrated destination, our ancestors recognized it as a spiritual site — a place to wash away burdens, reset the spirit, and reconnect to the flow of creation itself.

Historically, the site holds deep significance. Near this very river in 1657, the Battle of Las Chorreras took place — a pivotal moment where our Maroon and Spanish ancestors fought to defend the land against British invasion. The spirit of resilience, liberation, and strength still moves through the rushing waters today.

During our retreat, we approach Dunn’s River not as tourists, but as pilgrims — walking barefoot upon sacred stone, guided by the rhythm of the river. It’s a chance to commune with the elemental force of water, to honor the ancestors who walked before us, and to awaken the flow of life within.

Key Elements & Symbolism:

•  Healing Waters: Symbol of purification, emotional release, and rebirth

• Meeting of Mountain and Sea: The balance between grounding and flow

• Ancestral Power: Energy of resistance, liberation, and renewal

•  Cultural Legacy: A landmark of natural and historical pride in Jamaica

When we ascend Dunn’s River together, we do so in reverence — as a reminder that every step upward mirrors our personal journey toward liberation and love.

Nestled in the lush hills of Catadupa, St. James, Croydon in the Mountains offers one of Jamaica’s most breathtaking and spiritually grounding experiences. This sacred site is a living testament to our island’s rich agricultural heritage, ancestral legacy, and the enduring rhythm of life rooted in the soil.

As we journey through Croydon’s rolling hills, embraced by mist-kissed mountains and the melodies of tropical birds, we reconnect to the pulse of the Earth. The air here feels different — pure, alive, and vibrant with prana. The land tells stories of labor and liberation, of people whose hands shaped the future with love, devotion, and resilience.

Our hike takes us through lush fields of coffee, pineapples, citrus, and sugarcane, inviting the senses to awaken fully — the scent of ripe fruit, the hum of bees, the laughter of flowing streams. Along the way, we pause to taste nature’s sweetness and learn about the island’s agricultural bounty, traditional farming practices, and the importance of sustainability and reverence for the land.

Croydon is also the birthplace of Jamaica’s national hero, Samuel Sharpe, a revolutionary whose spirit of freedom still echoes through the mountains. Standing on this land becomes a spiritual act — a reminder that liberation begins within and extends to how we live, eat, and honor the Earth.

This experience is not simply "a tour" — it is a journey of remembrance, restoration, and renewal. We move with gratitude, honoring the ancestors who walked these hills before us, and the living Earth that continues to nourish our bodies and spirits.

What to Expect:

• A scenic guided hike through fertile farmlands and mountain trails

• Fresh tropical tastings – from sugarcane to pineapple to local herbs

• Stories of Jamaica’s agricultural and revolutionary history

• Opportunities for reflection and connection amidst the natural beauty

• A sense of renewal and grounding inspired by the mountains

A Journey into Rastafari Food Science and the Sacred Art of Fire

Step into the heart of traditional Rastafari living through our Ancestral Wood Fire Cooking Experience; a fully immersive, hands-on journey into the wisdom, spirit, and science of Ital cuisine. This is not merely a cooking class; it is a sacred ritual of connection — to the Earth, to the fire, to our food, and to the divine intelligence within nature.

In this interactive session, participants become fire keepers, guided by experienced Rastafari cooks and elders who share ancestral techniques passed down through generations.

Together, we will:
Learn how to build and tend a fire from scratch using native wood — understanding how flame, heat, and time dance together to create nourishment.
Prepare a traditional Ital meal using local, seasonal, and plant-based ingredients — cooked entirely over open fire, just as our ancestors did.
Explore the Rastafari food science, rooted in purity, balance, and respect for the elements. Participants will discover the energetic properties of food, the connection between nutrition and spirituality, and the way Ital eating supports natural healing and higher consciousness.
Engage in the collective preparation — washing, chopping, seasoning, and blessing the ingredients — while reasoning about the role of food as medicine and a path toward unity with creation.

As the fire burns and the meal takes shape, you’ll experience the rhythm of community — the laughter, the stories, the smoke rising to the heavens carrying our gratitude and intentions. Each participant will be part of the sacred circle of nourishment, leaving with not just a full belly, but a renewed understanding of the relationship between food, spirit, and the living Earth.

This experience honors the elemental balance of fire, earth, air, and water, reminding us that food prepared in reverence becomes a prayer — a living ceremony of life itself.

Honoring the Sacred Medicine and Timeless Technology of the Ancestors

Step into the ancient rhythm of Jamaica’s cacao tradition — a hands-on, heart-centered workshop where you will journey from bean to blessing. In this sacred experience, participants will learn the traditional art of cacao making, guided by Rastafari wisdom keepers who honor cacao as both food and medicine — a portal to remembrance, joy, and connection.

From the slow roasting of the cacao beans over fire, to the meditative rhythm of the mortar and pestle, you’ll engage every sense as you transform the humble cacao bean into a rich, aromatic paste — the foundation of ancestral chocolate. This is a spiritual practice, a return to the original way, where food preparation was ceremony and each movement carried intention and reverence.

As you grind, smell, and taste, you’ll learn about the cultural and spiritual significance of cacao across the Caribbean and the African diaspora — its role as a heart opener, its ceremonial use in indigenous traditions, and its enduring power to connect us with the Earth and each other.

This workshop is a celebration of timeless technology — one that requires no machine, only the strength of our hands and the wisdom of our elders. Through the cacao, we honor our ancestors who worked with nature, who understood that every bean, every flame, and every heartbeat is part of one great circle of creation.

You’ll leave with more than knowledge — you’ll carry the vibration of the ancestors, the scent of roasted cacao on your skin, and the memory of what it means to make something sacred with your own two hands.
