COSMOLOGY & COSMOGONY - FOUNDATIONs of SPIRITUAL SYstems
A SYNCRETIC APPROACH
At AkhuRa Temple, we embrace and celebrate the rich tapestry of cultural diversity within the African American & Indigenous communities. Our foundation rests upon the recognition that many of us are a beautiful amalgamation of various cultures—African, Indigenous American, European (specifically Celtic), Asiatic (including connections to Dravidian and ancient Chinese cultures).
Our approach to spirituality is rooted in a syncretic cosmology that acknowledges the interconnectedness of diverse cultural and spiritual traditions. We honor the mosaic of ancestral backgrounds that shape the identities of our community members. By recognizing and integrating elements from African, Indigenous American, Indo-European/Celtic, Asiatic (Dravidian and ancient Chinese), and "Christian traditions", we provide a holistic framework for spiritual growth and enlightenment.
Upcoming Events
Join us for our weekly prayer services every Sunday at 10am and our monthly community potluck on the first Saturday of every month at 6pm.
