Starting May 2023 Ile Orun Egbe Iwa-pele will have tax-exempt status as a school. All payments for classes and services will be tax deductible. Starting in June the programs listed above will be available during the 91-day prayer cycle and the Solstices and Equinoxes. During these events we will hold classes for two days leading up to a three-day weekend of initiations. Depending on interest there will be week-long seminars between the 91-day events.
The elders of Ile Orun Egbe Iwa Pele remain committed to the process of offering affordable initiations, and affordable training as part of our commitment to preserving the ancestral wisdom of our faith.

This program will be supported by social media. The Facebook group page will continue to be Egbe Iwa Pele Ifa Orisha Community. Books will be available at awofalokun.com. This platform will be available to members of the community who would like to advertise books, goods, or services. We are in the process of creating a YouTube Network featuring a series called Wisdom Keepers. This series will interview elders from various traditions asking for guidance in the movement towards living in harmony with the Earth. We will also be setting up a video discussion forum on a non-censored platform.
To move this project forward Ile Olorun Egbe Iwa Pele is offering a subscription plan for $50 a month. Membership in this program will offer once a month of Q& A on Zoom with Awo Falokun and once a month presentation of lessons in history and paleo-science. This subscription will give participants access to the 91 prayer cycle advanced training schedule (plus the cost of food and lodging). The subscription will include an open invitation to assist in the construction of Igbodu as part of the training process. The subscription will give members the opportunity for hands-on experience doing initiations.

If there are any questions or suggestions please contact Awo Falokun on Facebook or directly through this site through my CONTACT PAGE by clicking this link.   

My intention is to create an opportunity to teach and preserve the full scope of wisdom I was blessed to receive during six trips to Africa. I also believe we are creating a foundation for the development of healthy family relations and a context for experiencing the joy of sharing a wide range of expressions of creative imagination.

Know you are loved and appreciated.
Stay safe!
