acknowledgement and same privileges as other religious communities within South Africa.

Community at Governmental and Inter Faith levels.

Together, we will propel our spiritual paths forward, united in growth,
learning, knowledge and collaboration. Offering a structured lineage,
teachings, retreats and workshops to rites of passage, we stand as
a beacon for our community’s progress and well-being.

We will be known by our deeds.
