"It was fantastic to be in an environment of non-judgment, where no one cares about anything but the fellowship, connecting, and knowledge. I left Sunday feeling like a million bucks. So thanks again - Ifafore".

"The Esu-Obatala has helped me really connect to peace and focus and it has become a space to come to at the beginning of large intellectual projects. The ori potion is also perhaps the best thing I've ever used. I prefer it even to the black soap because it is cooling both to my skin and ori and I feel it evaporating away all of the junk that gets me worried or frustrated. I want to keep deepening this connection and seeing where it continues to take me". -Odabo-John

"Alafia Vassa, Wanted to share with you, this is so absolutely amazing! I am so engaged in doing the readings, listening to "hunches" and messages, re-analyzing past readings. You said it would make me a better mom... whoa! I can't believe how wise and composed I sound! how I see other approaches... and the best gift is tapping into the joy, making any annoyance really short and just get it out of the way! And never feeling lonely or afraid!  My daughter  tells me "you seem to have found your call..." or" mom you are soooo weird" (the best compliment) I'll never be able to thank you enough for hanging in there during my suspicion, my lack of seeing, the downs.... and pushing it a little, again and again,... and again.... to make it happen!" Love and hugs from - Child of Oya

ASE".

"When I had visited the retreat with others last year, it was hot, humid and most unpleasant.  I had the absolute worst time breathing outdoors and was dizzy most of the time (lack of oxygen).  After my initiation in November 2011, I have gone through changes on many levels and just today realized that while it is 100% humid out in (funky) NYC, I have not had a problem breathing. I know that this is because of my initiation, I know it is. Not only am I truly amazed but I am also incredibly happy that I can function and breathe on a day such as today in NYC. THANK YOU BOTH for so many things, especially simply for *being* [there, supportive, available and everything else]. I'm going for a walk. G'nite".

Alafia, I want to thank you for the wonderful workshop last weekend.  You and Phil are wonderful.  I came away changed from where I was and I want to thank you for that. - C

"Dear Iyanifa Vassa, What an honor that you wrote directly back to me. You might not be aware of the actual impact you have on women all around the world- we simply admire you for your work, your artistry- just who you are and the light you share. I met Ifa when i fell into a deep depression during my studies in scandinavia- i felt very isolated and lonely. Now i am happy to say that i have been without medication for more than two years- the connection to you through your website gave me all the strength and support I needed throughout this hard time. It was orunmila who told me not to leave my orchestra but to live somewhere in between vienna and munich-- and here i am, with the help of google maps(!), in the middle of nowhere in upper austria, loving and enjoying rural life and even having the possibilty of decorating my own ifa and meditation room! Thank you for being there for us- and also a big hello to your husband!"

"Alafia, Vassa I hope you are doing great, I send you so much love in my thoughts! I just quickly want to share with you WHAT A GREAT BENEFIT Ifascope has really had on our family. My family relationships have tremendously Tremendously TREMENDOUSLY have improved from following your husbands such loving advice each week. We as a family have followed it every week this year, and I have seen HUGE benefits. I want to thank You and Your Husband, PLEASE let him know. We have really been blessed with stronger, happier family relationships!! Life was meant for us to be happy, and I am so thankful that we have been able to reach it, thanks to your help. I remember hearing the ifascope at the beginning of the year when Phillip would say the benefits would be family relationships, and I would really hope for it to be true, to strengthen my family happiness etc...And it has!!!  We still continue with Good Character, Daily Orishas, Ori, Sigidi, Twins (I will be sending them to you soon, to be recharged) and our Ancestors, Primary Ancestors, we try to really focus and not get distracted, even though family life is challenging sometimes. But we continue, and we Love And Appreciate you and Phillip. Love and Blessings"
