Community Guidelines & Agreements (Read First)
This community is held with intention, responsibility, and respect for lineage.
By entering and participating in this space, you are agreeing to the following guidelines. These agreements exist to protect the harmony, integrity, safety, and intellectual property of the work held here.
Honoring Indigenous Traditions
This community honors African and Diasporic indigenous traditions, and the many ways ancestral wisdom lives through land, body, and spirit.
Members are expected to engage with respect for one another’s traditions, lived experiences, and lineages. Dismissive language, comparison for superiority, or reframing indigenous traditions to fit another worldview is not aligned with this space.
Harmony Over Debate
This is not a debate space.
Arguing, debating, or adversarial engagement disrupts the harmony we are intentionally cultivating and is not permitted. Dialogue grounded in respect is welcome; contention and argument are not.
If something does not resonate, members are invited to sit with it privately or seek appropriate clarification rather than challenging the space publicly.
Centering Black and Brown People
This is a safe and intentional space for Black and Brown people first.
The curriculum, teachings, and frameworks within this community were created specifically for Black and Brown people to reconnect with ancestry, identity, and spiritual lineage.
People from other backgrounds are welcome as learners and allies, not as authorities. Participation requires humility, respect, and a willingness to learn without appropriating, reframing, or whitewashing the work to fit another narrative, even when material feels familiar within other practices.
In this space, we explicitly acknowledge and honor the African indigenous roots of the knowledge shared.
Confidentiality, NDA & Intellectual Property

By entering, viewing, or participating in this community, you agree that:
  • All teachings, frameworks, language, recordings, and materials shared here are confidential

If permission is granted to reference or share any portion of the work, proper attribution is required. This includes clearly naming the trademark holder and acknowledging the source of the knowledge.

Unauthorized sharing, misuse, misrepresentation, or failure to provide attribution may result in removal from the community and legal action where appropriate.
