FORMS OF WORSHIP
Our primary places of worship are personal shrines in our homes, in nature, and within our global community—including through social media. Most importantly, worship begins within. It is deeply personal, guided by your Ori, your inner divine self. Nothing can be done through the Orishas or even your ancestors without the alignment and approval of your Ori.
We help people unlearn, relearn, and reconnect with their spiritual roots by seeking guidance from Ori. Worship follows the Traditional Isese Calendar and is centered around the oral Ifa-Orisha literary corpus—a complex system of wisdom passed down through generations.
This sacred system is mathematical in nature, consisting of 256 Odus (or "books") each with 16 sub-chapters and thousands of verses. These texts serve as our core guidance.
In addition to this ancient wisdom, our teachings are also informed by the lived experience of Babalawo Omolohun Okanlawon, who brings over 20 years of dedicated practice in the tradition. He holds a Doctorate and has conducted in-depth research into African spirituality through source texts, Odu, lived experience, and—most importantly—Ori.
Our worship blends traditional and evolving practices, reflecting the dynamic nature of African spirituality. It is not rigid or ruled by gatekeeping. Instead, it is engaging, fun, interactive, and rooted in accessibility and connection.
This practice is for anyone with African ancestry, and even if you don’t have direct lineage, you are still welcome to learn, understand, and connect with your spiritual roots.
True to our mission, we do not deny access to worship based on income. We offer sliding scale pricing for those who are unemployed or receiving public assistance—and in some cases, services are free.
You will rarely find another spiritual space like ours in the world of African spirituality. Babalawo Omolohun began this journey in poverty, just like many of the priests within the sacred Patakis. Our foundation is built on prophets, not profits.
We invite you to contact us to learn more and begin (or deepen) your journey. Reclaim your spiritual birthright—it belongs to you.
