About Baba Osadi Temple

Baba Osadi Temple is a spiritual organization and community dedicated to preserving the wisdom of ancient Yoruba spirituality while making these teachings accessible, relevant, and transformative for people navigating life in the modern world. Rooted in Isese Ifa and Orisa, our work supports individuals in reconnecting with their ancestors, divine purpose, intuition, and cultural identity through a decolonized and lineage-centered approach to spiritual growth.

With a base in Silver Spring, Maryland, and a foundation and physical temple  in Osogbo, Nigeria, Baba Osadi Temple serves individuals, families, and communities throughout the United States and across the African Diaspora. We function as a bridge between Africa and the diaspora, creating meaningful pathways for people to reconnect with ancestral wisdom, cultural heritage, and traditional spiritual practice.

Founded by Baba Osadi and Iya Osuntoki, the temple honors the integrity of traditional Yoruba spirituality while providing practical guidance for contemporary life. Through divination, ritual, education, mentorship, and community building, we help people cultivate lives of purpose, alignment, and spiritual integrity.
