Memorials and Funerals Ceremonies are created for remembrances of the loved one, or sharing an exemplary life for the purpose of encouraging and edifying others, as well as allowing friends and family world-wide to relate fond memories and condolences.
A quote received from participants in Colorado: “Experiencing Onye is dancing a double helix spiral of life, enlivening the spiritual DNA (Divine Natural Attributes) buried within us; thereby, sparking a baptism of fire, washing over each soul like a cool refreshing mountain stream.” - R. Knapp, Retired Minister
A phyician from North Carolina writes: “I once told Onye after taking a workshop of his titled 'African drumming’ that this was a misnomer. His workshop should have been called ‘African Healing.’ Onye is in touch with a spiritual energy that he directs as a potent healing force. He brings to his workshops a blend of his cultural heritage, his talent as a drummer, and his gift as a spiritual conduit for healing. For me, his workshop was a peak experience that catapulted me from the routine existence that we refer to as the ‘real world,’ into the powerful mystical experience of oneness with the creator, the REAL WORLD.” - J.G.
“When Onye lead worship at our three services he brought remarkable energy and spirit. He involved the congregation in a joyful celebration of God as he also shared the customs and traditions of his African roots. Our worshippers were very moved - often physically - as we joined him in making "a joyful noise to the Lord". He also met with us in preparation so he would be sensitive to our congregation's theology and style. It was a great experience.”Pastor Tim Kellgren, Elim Lutheran Church
