Yvette Trost is a spiritual teacher, Mami Dan Priestess, and devoted cultural bridge-builder whose life’s work centers on helping her brothers and sisters around the world reconnect with their spirituality, ancestry, and purpose. Rooted in the Indigenous Vodoun traditions of West Africa, she is dedicated to sharing, educating, and integrating the practical and sacred dimensions of her culture with people from all walks of life. Through teaching, ceremony, and cultural immersion, she guides others toward living a grounded, meaningful, and spiritually aligned life.
Born in Togo to Ghanaian heritage and living in Germany for over three decades, Yvette carries both African and European experiences in her heart. Alongside her spiritual leadership, she is deeply committed to caring for vulnerable children in Benin and Togo, providing shelter, food, education, and medical care to those who would otherwise be left on the streets. Inspired by her grandmother’s example of compassion, she has built a trusted network of family and supporters who help sustain this grassroots effort — ensuring that children not only survive, but grow with dignity and hope.
Professionally, Yvette is a State-Approved Educator and primary school teacher with the Department of Social Services in Raunheim, Germany. She holds academic training in Psychology and Social Management with a specialization in Primary Education and Intercultural Social Work from Sophie-Scholl Sozialpädagogik in Mainz. She served for many years as an Intercultural Social Worker with the Wiesbaden State Department of Social Services and previously worked as a translator within Immigration and Asylum Services. She also holds a Master’s Degree in Digital Marketing (IHK DAA German Academy, Wiesbaden). Her background reflects decades of service to youth, families, and culturally diverse communities.
Yvette is also a cultural liaison and guide, hosting, translating, and leading immersive journeys to Benin, Togo, and Ghana since 2005 — guiding approximately twenty groups of travelers seeking authentic cultural experiences. She has volunteered with UNICEF in Wiesbaden and has been an honored speaker at Africa Week (2020) as well as a featured workshop presenter in Italy in 2022 alongside Dr. Dana Rush on Vodun in Coastal Ghana, Togo, and Bénin. Whether teaching in the classroom, leading a spiritual gathering, or welcoming guests to West Africa, Yvette’s mission remains the same: to awaken connection — to spirit, to ancestry, and to one another.

Invocation- I Am
Clearing Prayer
The Breath of the Ancestors
by Birago Diop
Listen more often
to things than to beings
the voice of the fire
the water that speaks
the voice of the wind
the bush that weeps
this is the ancestor’s breathing
Those who have died are not gone
they are in the darkness around
the darkness that fades
the dead are not underground
they are in tree that shivers
the woods that quiver
the water that runs loud
in a hut, in a crowd
the dead are not dead— Former Customer
