Sacred Timekeepers
Aligning with the rhythms of Isese, Igbo, Lukumi, Candomble and Vodou traditions
Important: These calendars are designed for educational and cultural reference only.
When adding them to your device or account, please create a new separate calendar instead of importing into your main personal or work calendar. This ensures the events stay organized and can be turned on/off or removed without affecting your private schedule.
If you already imported and your availability is affected:
- Go to your calendar app’s settings (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, etc.).
- Locate the calendar you imported (it may appear as “Imported Calendar” or similar).
- Delete or unsubscribe from that imported calendar.
- Re-import the updated version from this website, this time saving it into its own dedicated calendar layer.
This way, your booking calendar will remain open and personal events won’t be affected.
