Spiritual Training Seminar Series
Three times out the year we have the pleasure of hosting elders from within our tradition and from other traditional institutions who share their experiences, knowledge, and wisdom with members of the fraternity. This intimate spiritual training is open to the public on a limited basis.
Weekly Member Meeting
Every Sunday members of the fraternity come together in fellowship and in the spirit of learning. While our member meetings are closed to the public, members of the community are encouraged to attend to receive general training on spiritual matters and to fellowship over our weekly dinner.
Monthly Food Drive
At the beginning of every month the fraternity solicits donations of canned goods and other non-perishable items from its members and from community members. The food is collected for distribution throughout the month for people in need.
International Cultural Exchange
At least twice a year we visit temples and members across the diaspora for spiritual training and fellowship. While there we also participate in cultural events, learn unfamiliar languages and bring supplies for the community.
Clothes and Medical Supply Drive
Throughout the year we collect clothes, shoes, household items, and medical supplies for residents of Imesi-Ile, the home of our worldwide headquarters. We partner with the local medical clinic to help fill gaps in essential supplies and donate funds to purchase equipment and other necessities.
