Make a donation
After 17 years of hard work learning and discovering cultural and spiritual values, these years of traveling from country to country, and in the solitude of my mission, my energetic egregore has manifested in its fullness an immeasurable passion.
As the time always comes when every great human being is called to take moments of pause to build his nation and his family anchor...infinite space, eternal time and the absolute mystery of existence impose new levels on me too and in my being.
My future as a student of life, teacher, speaker, pathfinder, healer, priest and researcher now turns to the ultimate battle of every great spirit, that of re-educating itself again. Giving one's self-time to kneel once again before the sublime saints, geniuses, and great minds of the land and the people. My people, your people!
Understanding one's world is only the first step towards the true purpose of our existence and our world today in its rapid descent into degeneration requires the wisdom and knowledge of the ancients, heirs of the radiant worlds of the past.
All of these moments we have shared together, moments of joy and struggle, these cultural and spiritual exchanges that we have shared -is my birthday gift to all of you this December 15th. Enlightenment being a principle of reciprocity, many have greatly enlightened me through our experiences.
My humility has taught me that we always have something to learn from others (small and large, haves and have-nots, whites and blacks, moderns and indigenous.... and what do I know?).
But when the walls of the city that forged us have to be rebuilt, the roof on the vestibule of our ancestors has to be renewed, the dusty paths of our villages have to be retraced, one must have the courage to resort to the visible and invisible living archives.
Here we are and for everything, wish me good luck in my new adventure and mission during the celebration of my birthday this December 15, 2023.

CHILDREN’S EDUCATION FUND
SUPPORT THE NEXT GENERATION OF INDIGENOUS LEADERS
The Children’s Fund supports the comprehensive education of the youth of Dogon communities both in rural West Africa and the modern world. We are building a bridge between the two worlds so that the youth are equipped with resources and access to both indigenous and modern education in order to maintain a sustainable way of life. With this solid foundation, they will be ready to heal, guide, and enlighten future generations on a global scale.
INDIGENOUS AGRICULTURE
PLANTING SEEDS FOR A REGENERATIVE TOMORROW
Farming is essential to the well-being and sustenance of indigenous villages. Cultures like the Dogon revere natural seeds and grain as sacred and central to their way of life and have mastered agricultural practices that heal and preserve the integrity of their lands and communities. The Seeds of Indigenous Life (SIL) program utilizes this ancient know-how to protect the biodiversity and sustainability of the land and Dogon communities while reversing the destructive effects of modern farming practices.
DISPLACED INDIGENOUS PEOPLE RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM
STABILIZING INDIGENOUS FAMILIES
Due to political conflict and violence, several Dogon communities who are longstanding preservers of the Ancestral indigenous culture are experiencing severe internal displacement and the loss of access to their cultural monuments. The DIPR program assists displaced people to regain access to arable land and food security, ensure their physical safety, rebuild their way of life, and restore their dignity.
WATER IS LIFE
Water is a basic necessity of life. In remote places in Africa, communities depend on wells for cooking, healing, bathing, washing clothes, and drinking. Our water projects aim to increase the accessibility of clean water sources to villages in land-locked areas. In doing so, our goal is to assist in conserving the communities’ energies and to facilitate the revitalization of village life.
PILGRIMAGE
We host opportunities annually for initiates and the general community to visit the temples, healing center, villages, and historical sites in West Africa. This affords pilgrims the transformative opportunity for full immersion into indigenous cultural practices and traditions. Pilgrimage allows travelers the opportunity to see and experience many things that they will not experience during a touristic trip to Africa, while providing a unique window into the indigenous Ancestral culture.
HEALING CENTER
Our revolutionary Healing Center, Het Aishat, located in the mountains of Togo in West Africa, provides mental, physical and spiritual healing services to all who are in need. Clients come from all around the world to work with healers and spiritual professionals in a serene environment that provides the natural components necessary for holistic healing. The Healing Center also serves as a place of training for the apprentice healers and spiritual professionals who have the chance to learn and preserve their rich cultural and spiritual traditions for the benefit of humanity.
PRESERVING SACRED INDIGENOUS LANDS
The Bobo Lands in western Burkina Faso are home to many medicinal herbs, sacred sites, and natural healing resources that are under threat by industrialization. We have acquired lands in remote, untouched areas of Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso to build a second traditional healing center. The indigenous communities of these lands will spearhead this effort. Through their knowledge of the land, they will establish a vital healing center that will allow visitors a chance to experience this natural abundance and time-tested healing wisdom, while sustaining themselves through small farming projects and preserving local medicinal plants and herbs.
