We begin day two of Iranti ẹ̀jẹ̀ — Remembering Blood by turning toward the wisdom that precedes us. In this international invocation, elders and wisdom keepers from across the Global Majority will call us into sacred alignment, offering blessings from their respective traditions and lineages. Rooted in the elemental energy of Earth, this ritual honors ancestors, celebrates the sacred role of elders and “yelders,” and invokes the healing intelligence of plants and land. This is a ceremonial welcome—a grounding invocation that sanctifies the space and calls us to remember who we are, where we come from, and the wisdom that lives in our bones.
