    The Aladura is an indigenous Yoruba tradition within the Pentecostal Church, translating to “the praying people”. This served as an incubator for many of Soleil’s favorite modalities such as dreamwork, song, dance, candle work, laying of hands, vision quests and more. This is a Cherubim, Seraphim and Archangel lineage and they support sessions as inspired. Soleil practices a decolonized relationship with God and encourages discerned curiosity in all aspects of Religion and Spirituality.
