Chosen from
within a lineage

To understand NABA Iritah Shenmira, you must first understand what it means to be chosen by a lineage — not appointed, not trained from the outside, but recognized from within.

A high priest and healer of the Dogon bloodline from the Gulmu region of Meritah (Africa), NABA Iritah is the son of the late Master Naba Lamoussa Morodenibig — a legendary Dogon prophet who dedicated his life to educating humanity on its original spiritual principles.

Born among the Tem people in Togo, he entered initiations and apprenticeships with priests and healers from boyhood, enduring the full rites of passage. After his father's passing, he stepped fully into his calling — ordained within three months, carrying the mission of his ancestors to a global stage.
