Embracing Tradition. Enhancing Care.
Our Programs
1
Alaweye Cohorts(to bathe to success)
The Alaweye Cohorts provides cross-cultural learning opportunities and exposure to traditional, spiritual, and cultural Agbebi practices for all birthing professionals organized as cohorts to interface with the global medical community and the traditional birth community. This includes involvement in a specialized program Repair and Reconnect. We brings greater visibility and progression to the medical community through traditional practices to support rectifying the overuse of medicalization and the diminishing of cultural and ancestral practices in hospital spaces while shining a light on the barriers to care we have most notably in Western practices. .

Ìyèniyun Training
Olomo Lo L'aye restores and repairs traditional birth practices through our specialized Ìyèniyun Training and mentorship opportunities with the Agbebi at two levels:
-
Utilizing traditional practices to enhance birth practices
-
Training by ways of utilizing the Ifa/Orisha spiritual system to give more profound enhancement to birthing practice. These trainings do not provide you with the skills to become a midwife.

Ìyániwúrà (Mother is gold)
The Ìyániwúrà Program aims to create a supportive environment for traditional birth practices by establishing culturally affirming 'grandmother' support spaces, a state-of-the-art birthing center in Nigeria, and providing financial compensation to Nigerian Agbebi birthing educators. These efforts will help integrate traditional birth practices and support services back into the community.
