In this course, we will explore the meanings that African people give to knowledge (education for a living) and wisdom (education for life). We shall have the opportunity to see the world through the lens of African Wisdom: a holistic worldview that sees all of life and ALL that is as Interconnected and Interdependent.

Participants who take this course will have the opportunity to deepen their experiential knowledge of life as holistic and interconnected. All indigenous cultures have always understood life and all that is as such, so this will be a unique opportunity for each participant in the class to remember and reclaim this life-enhancing and the cosmic-sustaining dimension of life.

Throughout the course the facilitator and participants will dig into this African indigenous well of knowledge and wisdom so that, armed with new findings and insights, they may deepen their experience of life as harmonious, intricately interconnected, and holistic. In the final analysis, the course will sharpen each participant’s abilities to: analyze new findings and insights from a global perspective; and appreciate the power of stories, proverbs, riddles, music, dance, art, and rituals in the transmission of culture and values; and assist participants to translate these timely and timeless emerging values into your spiritual development in turn transforming the collective for which you are a member.
