I greet the God of the ages the God of the now
The God of tomorrow the God of all time
The God of the heavens the God of the earth
The God of the fire the water the air
I greet the God of the mountains the God of the fly
The God of the valleys cockroaches and stones
The God of the stillness the God of the noise
The God of the sky the land and the sea
I greet the God of the medicine the God of the Dead
The God of the sickness the God of the health
The God of within the God of without
The God of divinity and whatever else there may be
I greet God

We greet you, your ancestors and spirit guides who walk with you. Welcome to Sankofie, a space, time, place and process where we recognize that we are children of many ancestors. Where we say ‘We Have a Claim to Many and Many Will Claim Us. Please join us in understanding how, by looking through the lenses of spirituality, we may journey into an understanding of creation and evolution and how man, woman established helpful relationships to nurture ceremony and sustain harmony.
As a special gift from a primarily conquest driven, blood & tears watered history we have the opportunity to enjoy the many nations and ethnicities walking through our veins. Since about 1513 Jamaica has seen the arrival of Africans, Indians, Chinese, Germans, Jews (initially identified as Portuguese) and Syrians/Lebanese. With all of that the Jamaican population today is identified as more than 95% black, with Africa being the primary origin of our ancestors. (More)
