HEALTH IS OUR WEALTH!
Welcome to 256 Healing Arts, where Health Is Our Wealth! This organization was formed in 2008 by a group of healers in the United States that were interested in healing and empowering their communities around the world. They united their resources and formed an organization called 256 Healing Arts, which is a network of healers from many different back grounds, modalities, and disciplines. Let your Health be your Wealth and let Knowledge be your Power. This website is designed to educate people about various healing methods, provide access to online workshops and training, as well as connecting people directly to Healers dedicated to the empowerment of our Global Community. Enjoy !

With
Chief Alaje
A spiritual consultation also known as a reading, takes place in two parts, the first part is a consultation given by the spirit of Ifa, giving you guidance as it pertains to your destiny and what you need to do to be in alignment with being successful in walking your path. For the second part, we give offerings to the spirit of Ifa and the spirit of the Orisas. By doing this spiritual work, we will be asking the universe to manifest the good things from the reading and to block the negative things from happening. Schedule your reading today!
