This conference brings together scholars, practitioners, performers, and community-based religious leaders to explore the Black sacred arts and related spiritual expressivities through a critical reappraisal of Africa’s “triple” religious heritage. It examines indigenous practices across Africa alongside religious and spiritual movements such as Christianity and Islam, whose histories and legacies are both rooted in and extend beyond the continent.

      From August 7 to 13, 2026, sail from Reykjavík through one of nature’s rarest spectacles aboard Evrima, a Ritz-Carlton yacht designed for Arctic exploration and sophisticated comfort.

      On August 12, 2026, the Moon’s shadow will cross Iceland’s coast, bringing two minutes of totality to viewers positioned along the shore. Witness this celestial phenomenon from the deck of Evrima, where the solar corona appears against the Arctic sky at 5:48 p.m. local time. The sun will hang 24 degrees above the western horizon, offering clear sight lines for observation and photography.

      Before the eclipse, explore Iceland’s geological wonders. Learn why this island nation is called “the Land of Fire and Ice” with guided visits to erupting geysers, thundering waterfalls, and volcanic formations.
