Question 1

What attendance styles are available?

Accepted Answer

We support live attendance, asynchronous catch-up, and temple-based cohort flexibility. Students are encouraged to attend live whenever possible, but recordings are available when schedule conflicts happen. If you need support with pacing or scheduling, your temple administrator can help you stay on track.

Question 2

How does program logistics and scheduling work?

Accepted Answer

Core sessions run Tuesdays and Thursdays, with temple-based flexibility for cohort timing. New groups can start on asynchronous tracks, and all sessions are archived for on-demand access. Your temple administrator or program coordinator will confirm your cohort, schedule, and onboarding steps.

Question 3

Can I join mid-session?

Accepted Answer

Yes! New cohorts begin periodically. We also support asynchronous tracks for new temples or groups starting at different times. Contact your temple administrator to find out when the next cohort starts or to discuss starting a new group. You will have access to recordings of previous sessions to catch up at your own pace.

Question 4

What materials do I need?

Accepted Answer

All study materials are provided through our Google Drive. You will need a computer or tablet with internet access, Zoom installed for live classes, and a notebook for taking notes.

Question 5

How do I make payments?

Accepted Answer

Pay by card through secure Stripe checkout on the Enroll page. Each $75 monthly payment permanently opens your next unit and adds a month of Ifá Scribe Standard. For another payment method (Zelle, PayPal, etc.), contact your temple administrator, who will make sure your payment is recorded.

Question 6

I don't have a local temple. Can I still join?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! If you do not have a local temple, you can register directly through our Program Director using the "Do not have a temple?" option on the Temples page.

Question 7

How is the Ifá Scribe digital toolkit used in the program?

Accepted Answer

The toolkit begins with Ifá Scribe, our Yoruba transcription tool for capturing and organizing verses with tonal structure preserved. It complements live teaching and does not replace instructor guidance.

Question 8

Do I need technical experience to use the digital toolkit?

Accepted Answer

No technical background is required. We provide onboarding guidance and practical usage instructions so learners can use the toolkit confidently from a phone, tablet, or computer with internet access.
