ISINTU is presented here as a living African indigenous worldview and knowledge tradition. African traditions are diverse, so teachings and practices may differ between communities, languages, regions and families.

Ancestors

Nature
Understanding the relationship between people, land, nature and the sacred.

The healing tradition.
Knowledge held across time
Traditional healing can encompass indigenous knowledge, community practices, spirituality, herbal traditions, ritual and approaches to wellbeing. This platform presents these subjects respectfully and educationally.
