Chameto (spiritual practice from the Congo)

Chameto is a spiritual practice from the Congo that involves rituals, ceremonies, and beliefs aimed at connecting with ancestral spirits and harnessing spiritual energies. It often includes the use of symbols, songs, dances, and offerings to invoke guidance, protection, and healing. Rooted in traditional African cosmology, Chameto emphasizes harmony between the living and spirits, as well as the community’s collective well-being. Practitioners may consult spiritual leaders or elders to facilitate these experiences, viewing them as vital for maintaining cultural identity and spiritual balance.
