Rev. Dr. Sheila McKeithen

As we build toward the People of African Descent New Thought Group's Biannual Celebrating Our Soul Conference (August 13-16, 2026), with the powerful theme "Claiming Our Sacred Power: A Four-Day Awakening, Journey, Celebration, and Embodiment," we invite you into this transformative devotional practice.
Like a diamond in the rough, you are being polished and prepared. Each week brings you closer to revealing your inherent brilliance and claiming the sacred power that has always been yours.
This journey is about S.P.I.R.I.T.—Soulful Practice, Interdependently Revealing Indwelling Truth. You are connecting with a worldwide community in consciousness, preparing not just to attend a conference, but to BE the conference—a living embodiment of divine power.
Asé. Amen. And So It Is.
Your sacred power is amplified by the wisdom of those who came before you. Honor the legacy of African spiritual teachers who claimed their power despite tremendous obstacles. Their courage flows in your veins.
Which ancestor or spiritual teacher inspires you to claim your sacred power, and what wisdom of theirs do you carry forward?
Close your eyes. Invite your ancestors—known and unknown—to surround you. Feel their love, strength, wisdom wrapping around you. Listen for messages. Say to them: "Thank you for the path you paved. I honor you by living powerfully." You are their wildest dreams made manifest.
"I honor the wisdom of my ancestors and spiritual teachers. Their courage flows through me. I stand on their shoulders and rise to new heights. I carry their legacy forward with pride and power."
