Soul Purpose 360 members are Black women who are doing amazing things across all disciplines and across the world too. This month, we shine a spotlight on Djeli-Chinyere as they offer other members the opportunity to Step Into the Sacred Circle of Storytelling with Djeli-Chinyere & Nne-Agwu
Djeli-Chinyere, the visionary founder and artistic director of Nne-Agwu, is a guardian of oral traditions — a storyteller, messenger, and cultural custodian who creates sacred spaces for community connection and spiritual expression. Rooted in the wisdom of ancestral guidance, she established Nne-Agwu in 2010 as a grassroots community arts organisation to celebrate and preserve the rich traditions of Afrakan storytelling.
You’re Invited: The 1-Day Storytelling Feast
Join Nne-Agwu for a powerful, soul-nourishing gathering on Saturday, 26th July 2025 (10am–9pm) for the Storytelling Feast: The Spirit of Stories. The Power of Voice.
This one-day immersive event is a safe, sacred space in nature where expression flows freely — without judgment, shame, or fear.
Expect a full day of movement, music, mindfulness, and magic, including:
Drum calls, opening and closing ceremonies
Healing rituals, warrior chants, ancient songs
Ital-yoga, gumboot dancing, tai chi, and twilight dancing
Wisdom circles, storytelling massage, concoct-a-tale workshops
Outdoor activities, laughter, and deep communal joy
The Heart of Nne-Agwu
With Ubuntu — I am because we are — at its core, Nne-Agwu runs year-round cultural and heritage events designed to foster intergenerational learning, environmental awareness, and community wellbeing. Through workshops, spiritual ceremonies, and leadership training, the organization ignites collective healing and celebrates ancestral knowledge.
Looking Ahead: The 5-Day Afrakan Storytelling Festival (July 2026) An annual highlight, this 5-day camp-style festival offers bushcraft, storytelling masterclasses, survival skills, and wellness practices in a community-led, nature-based setting. It’s an unforgettable experience of reconnecting with indigenous values and village living.
Master the Art of Storytelling Nne-Agwu also hosts masterclasses in oral storytelling — teaching structure, symbolism, and the influence of ancient archetypes and deities. These sessions support personal development, public speaking, and spiritual exploration.
As a proud member of Soul Purpose360, a Black women’s empowerment network across London, Djeli-Chinyere honours community collaboration and sistahood. SP360 members receive 20% off tickets to the 1-day feast using the promo code: SoulPurpose20.
