African Spirituality is Not DIY
This system is grounded in the Orisa tradition as a structured framework for identity, discipline, and alignment.
It is not a reinterpretation.
It is not an adaptation.
It is a process of formation rooted in established principles of order, practice, and identify formation.
There Are No New Fundamentals.
This training is grounded in the operational knowledge of Orisa Lifestyle.
It integrates:
- Ese Ifá trains interpretation, pattern recognition, and consequence analysis.
- OrĂkì trains identity recognition, affirmation, and alignment.
- Proverbs train decision-making under constraint.
- Apprenticeship structure trains discipline, repetition, and correction.
- Lineage structure trains continuity and responsibility.
- Community and settlement patterns train social function and accountability.
- Family structure trains generational awareness and obligation
These are not presented as references.
They are used as indispensable structural components of training.
Multiple Disciplines. One System.
The Fundamentals of Orisa Lifestyle seamlessly integrates traditional wisdom, learning theory and developmentally-appropriate teaching methodology.
Nothing is included for appearance.
Everything is strategically placed for outcome.
What Students Are Saying
Adesua, Atlanta
I had a strong connection to the writings and teachings of Baba Obafemi and remember feeling the wisdom in his presence. I have a tendency to create drama where it isn't really necessary and Baba laid everything out in a very matter of fact way that made it practical and graspable for me in the overwhelmed state I have been in for a while. I think Baba is special in his merger of understanding of the function of the mind of a person through his apparent psychology training coupled with his vision into the causal realm.
Keisha, Oakland
I found ObafemiO on Facebook. I decided to work with him based on the way his spirit resonated with mine... I loved the way he explained in detail and with patience the culture and spirit of the Ifa African Healing System; His skills and abilities to counsel and inspire were very helpful.Â
Kalu, Chicago
I was searching for a better understanding of dreams, what they mean and the role that they have in my life. I enrolled in your class because my dreams have changed in ways that I don’t yet understand. Baba Obafemi is easy to understand and speaks with such precision. Things are broken down to a level that is understandable for all.
The Problem Is Not Awareness
You are not lacking awareness.
You are not lacking belief.
You are not lacking desire.
You are lacking structure.
You know you are African, but you cannot define that identity in a lived, repeatable way.
You have outgrown inherited systems, but you have not rebuilt a solid spiritual practice.
You engage the idea of spirituality, but without consistency, discipline, or measurable development.
Without Structure:
• Identity remains undefined
• Practice remains inconsistent
• Direction remains unstable
You continue:
• Collecting information
• Referencing culture
• Starting and stopping
Nothing stabilizes.
Nothing compounds.
Nothing produces outcome.
This Does Not Correct Itself
Without intervention:
• Identity remains fragmented
• Discipline does not form
• Direction does not emerge
Time does not resolve this.
You are not momentarily paused.
You are reinforcing and solidifying your current condition.
This is a System, Not a Course
The Fundamentals of Orisa Lifestyle is a structured training system.
You will be taken through a defined process of:
• Identity formation
• Ancestral alignment
• Communal function
• Universal order
You do not observe this system.
You enter it.
How the System Works
The Fundamentals of Orisa Lifestyle is based upon Baba Oloye's book by the same title. It consists of four modules. Fixed sequence. No deviation.
Module 1 — Physical Energy
Internal structure: Ara, Okan, Emi, Ori, which correlate to the body, emotion, life force, mind
Module 2 — Ancestral Energy
Egungun, Ori Iya, Ori Baba, Ori Inu, which inform lineage, inheritance, identity, destiny
Module 3 — Communal Energy
Egbe, Owo, Oja, Ori Isese, which correlate to community, function, exchange, character
Module 4 — Universal Order
Olodumare, Orisa, Ifa, Ori Apere, which reveal source, governing principles, knowledge, ascent
Each lesson requires:
• Reading
• Lecture
• Structured response
Progression is enforced through completion.
What You Will Be Able To Do
- Define the spiritual structure of your identity
- Identify ancestral forces shaping your life
- Understand your role within your family and the community
- Recognize how your value is tested through sacred service
- Understand physical and metaphysical influences that determine your success
- Align your behavior with your destiny
From Knowledge to Transformation
This is not exposure to tradition.
It is activation.
The system translates:
• Knowledge into identification
• Identification into correction
• Correction into discipline
• Discipline into stability
• Stability into mastery
Without this process, knowledge remains theoretical.
With this process, knowledge becomes functional.

What This System Produces
The Fundamentals of Orisa Lifestyle produces capacity, not familiarity.
You are not trained to reference the tradition.
You are trained to function within it:
- The ability to interpret your reality according to spiritual structure
- The ability to define your identity beyond your conditions
- The ability to recognize and respond to the physical consequences of spiritual decitions
Who This Is For
- Individuals experiencing identity fragmentation
- Those who exited inherited systems without rebuilding new ones
- Practitioners seeking discipline, not inspiration
- Students ready for structured Orisa-based formation
- Those prepared to be corrected by systems, order and structure
Everything Isn't For Everybody
This Is Not For:
• Passive learners
• Casual observers
• Individuals unwilling to follow instruction
• People seeking cultural decoration without discipline
• People looking for inspiration without formation
