Rooted in ancient East Asian cosmology and metaphysics, the concepts of the Tao, Feng Shui, and Yin-Yang have been developed and practiced across multiple cultures, including China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. The Tao is the source of all life. It is not a god or some type of spirit; it is the unified force which drives the universe, sky, earth, rivers, mountains, and the wind. The Tao is the influence behind all changes.
Yoruba philosophy is a living tradition rooted in harmony, interconnection, and right relationship. It teaches that all thingsâpeople, ancestors, land, and spiritâare threads in one continuous fabric. Through IfĂĄ, ritual, and daily practice, we learn to align our destiny (Ori) with ethical action, community care, and environmental stewardship. It is a worldview that centers balance, reciprocity, and the understanding that divinity is woven into nature and every moment of our lives.
