What is African spirituality? Or, better yet, how can we grasp the basic principles of African spirituality, without being spooked or dismissive? In this episode, African spirituality as an idea and as a life-way is made intelligible in plain language, using the analogy of water and a few props. The pathway to understanding African cultural forms and norms starts with spiritual culture.

Thanks again, this is so timely for me. Are you available for a conversation or consultation?
Just to let you know your links do not work. I like very much your calm and the way you present your conceptions. Nice work!
I appreciate your presentation of African Spirituality.
Excellent teaching Okunini. Meda wo ase!
Mni wichoni is Lakota for water is life … Native Americans believe this as well . Much power in water
I came across your channel. I'm looking forward to learn and unlearn.
Thank you so much!🙌🏾🤎
Whenever I listen to you I feel I am listening to sanity, which is rare on these platfroms. LOL I have exploring the concept of personhood in terms of non human beings in indigenous cultures. In terms of your threefold nature when the river is the physical manifestation (ice) of a more fundamental animating force (gas), would the personhood (god/spirit) of the river be the water? Because there is a clear difference between a purely abstract force and a person, in terms of how human beings would relate to it. If the natural world and the cosmos is seen in terms of a diversity of personalities the element of communication, interaction and agency enters. Persons are not just some abstract forces to be used and exploited for selfish purposes and it was the classification of black peoples as non persons that allowed for the enslavement and exploitation of an entire race of people.
I appreciated this video soooo much
Thank you so much for breaking things down in a digestible way. Keep up the good work!
Oh wow! As a fellow Ghanaian (who doesn’t know much about my people’s spiritual practices) I’m really grateful to have found you
The graphics helped a lot also thank you for the objective explanation 🙏
Welk done
I'm a black American in America. I left Islam for African spirituality. Islam doesn't have African cultures.
5th dimension same concept as heaven, THE WORK IS PHYSICAL, the REWARD IS HYPOTHETICAL, working here and getting rewarded somewhere else

Wow!! U are a GREAT teacher! That is the best breakdown I have ever heard. The diagram was the icing on the cake! Thank you!
My brother, I am so grateful that I found your channel. This is explained so simply. I am a black woman born in America, somehow I have and feel such a connection to my people on the continent of Africa.. the Womb-land. You have a new follower and sharer. There are some teachings that are spoken in Ahkan. Wish they had subtitles..Lol
This is such a great explanation! Thank you!
