About Ori Ara

Ori Ara, rooted in the Yoruba words for 'purpose' and 'body,' integrates spiritual practices to deepen women's connection with their bodies, nurturing a holistic well-being. It promotes daily rituals to honor the body, enabling it to thrive within its environment. This philosophy is underpinned by a moral code of creation over judgment, emphasizing that our realities are shaped by our thoughts, words, and actions. Ori Ara transcends traditional wellness, viewing the care of the body as both a spiritual practice and a means to fulfill one's life purpose.

We Believe:

  • We are souls experiencing life in human form.

  • Our bodies are precious gifts that allow us to fully engage with life's richness.

  • Nurturing our bodies is a spiritual practice that connects us to our feminine divinity.

  • The health of our body is essential for tapping into our Goddess energy.

  • Each body carries a divine purpose and unique calling.

  • Protecting our health is the ultimate way to honor and fulfill our life's calling.
