Root Wisdom with Dr. Sy is a sacred space devoted to teaching Africana traditional wisdom and community-building through spiritual practice for all seekers regardless of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, or status. Our mission is to reconnect people—especially those of African descent—with ancestral knowledge that has sustained and empowered generations. Through hands-on classes, rituals, and communal gatherings, Dr. Sy and the root wisdom team offer tools for spiritual healing, cultural remembrance, and personal transformation.

 

At the heart of our work is the belief that spiritual practice is not separate from daily life—it is daily life. Our classes explore the power and presence of ancestral veneration, herbal medicine, rootwork, divination, and protective rites rooted in the traditions of the African diaspora. These teachings honor the lineage of Black women spiritualists, root workers, and midwives who have long served as cultural and community stewards.

 

We also recognize that spirituality is strongest when nurtured in community. Root Woman Wisdom  brings people together to learn, share, and grow in collective wisdom. Whether you're returning to these traditions or just beginning to explore them, our classes are grounded, accessible, and deeply respectful of the sacred.

 

Root Woman Wisdom is more than a website—it is a gathering place for spiritual seekers, cultural keepers, and those longing to remember who they are. In a time when many are searching for healing, identity, and connection, we offer a way home—through the roots.
