15 May Meet Ase Ire’s new Associate Priestess, Iya Timil Egunoladiran

Family, it gives me the greatest pleasure (remember, Our Pleasure is Power!) to officially introduce you to my apetebi and Ase Ire’s new Associate Priestess, Iya Timil Egunoladiran. Iya Timil has been a part of the Ase Ire Family since 2020 and some of you got to experience her beautiful 7 Homecomings workshop at the Black Spirit Solstice Summit 2025. I’m thrilled to be partnered with her in life and ministry and excited for all she will bring to the Temple. 

Iya Timil is the founding Spiritual Director of the overflo institute, a research-focused contemplative leadership sanctuary; she is also an executive coach, medium, and diviner and who has been supporting clients for 8 years. A community medicine woman deeply devoted to ancestral wisdom and practices, Iya Timil is an initiated Egungun priestess, Reiki Master, spiritualist, and scholar. She recently earned her Master of Theological Studies at McCormick Theological Seminary and will begin doctoral studies in the fall, with a focus on indigenous leadership and land stewardship. 

As Ase Ire’s Associate Priestess, Iya Timil is excited to share her skills and talents with our community. She is heading up our Ase Ire Farm ministry, which we’ll share more about soon, and is offering services including ancestral connection sessions, tarot divination, and reiki healing and training. Our first joint offering, BREAKTHROUGH! A Ritual Activation for Leaders will begin June 8 and we’ll be sharing a free Community Recharge this week to help get us all aligned for the next steps on our journeys.

Family, Ifa says one hand cannot clap, one leg cannot run far fast–-you know the rest! I’m excited for all the ways this divine partnership will help enhance the Ase Ire community and looking forward to all that is to come.

Ire gbogbo, nigba gbogbo! All blessings, always!
