Roots of Wisdom is a globally-facing interview podcast exploring what it truly means to be an Elder in the modern world. At a time when society is fragmented, hyper-individualistic, and disconnected from lineage, this podcast aims to restore one of humanity’s most vital roles: the Elder — the guide, the memory-keeper, the bridge, the healer, the stabilizer.
This is not a podcast about age — it is about evolution.

Our Values
Our community values are based on the 7 Principles of Maat
Truth
I will learn to know what is true. I will not lie or speak falsely.
Reciprocity
I will give as much as I take. I will take as much as I give.
Justice
I will be fair in all that I do. I will not cheat myself or others.
Harmony
I will be in rhythm with what is good for me. I will be in tune with all things natural.
Righteousness
I will do things right. I will do things for the right reasons. I will not do wrong.
Balance
I will learn to understand and respect balance.
Order
I will learn to understand the natural order of the universe. I will respect the arrangement and relation of all that's according to its particular place, type, sequence, pattern or method.
Step Into a Circle of Wisdom That Was Once Reserved for Initiates.

This is not another online membership.
This is a return — to lineage, to guidance, to ancestral intelligence.

What Our Members Say
The invitation of my ancestors to the space, this stood out most because it also showed me that they needed me to be there. And the energies in our space was giving healing and safe space
The personal support stands out as a great help during this process because one doesn’t know what you don’t know until you begin.
My ancestors guided me to a post about an offering with indigenous South African healers and wisdom keepers, each session I was introduced to a new incredible and humble wisdom keeper that either introduced or further expanded my understanding of an array of topics. I knew immediately I was to join!
It was my first intentional connection with African land and really, really special and unforgettable in that way. I feel more connected and welcomed into our whole human family and planet now, which had been my desire in signing up.
