CADISS is a global organization founded with a clear and sacred purpose: to honor, protect, and elevate African Indigenous Spirituality and its diasporic expressions. As the wisdom of our ancestors continues to echo through rituals, symbols, and sacred practices, we rise to ensure these traditions are no longer ignored or dismissed—but embraced, celebrated, and safeguarded for future generations.
We envision a world where African spiritual systems stand tall among global faiths—respected for their depth, beauty, and contribution to humanity’s spiritual and cultural tapestry.
In an age where interfaith dialogue and religious freedom are celebrated, African Indigenous Spirituality remains disproportionately marginalized. Its practitioners face ignorance, misrepresentation, and legal invisibility. Despite being the spiritual roots of millions across the globe—both on the continent and throughout the diaspora—our traditions are too often reduced to myth or folklore, stripped of legitimacy in mainstream discourse.
At CADISS, we see this as a profound injustice. We exist to challenge this marginalization, to reclaim space for our spiritual heritage, and to nurture communities that live and breathe these sacred ways of being.
The Council of African & Diasporic Indigenous Spiritual Systems. Founded with a vision to champion the recognition and inclusion of African Indigenous Spirituality on a global scale, CADISS stands as a beacon of cultural preservation, advocacy, and community empowerment.
We advocate for full recognition, legal protection, and global inclusion of African and Diasporic Indigenous Spiritual Systems. Guided by the Equality Act 2010 and Article 9 of the Human Rights Act 1998, our mission is to:
Defend the rights of practitioners of African spiritual traditions
Promote accurate education and awareness
Build a global network of support, visibility, and empowerment
Ensure these traditions are respected alongside all world religions

From educational workshops and cultural events to legal advocacy and consultation services, CADISS offers a diverse range of initiatives designed to empower individuals, foster community connections, and preserve our ancestral traditions for generations to come. Our organization is dedicated to promoting understanding, respect, and appreciation for African Indigenous Spirituality on a global scale.
In addition to our range of initiatives, CADISS provides a comprehensive directory for practitioners of African spiritualism and vendors, facilitating connections and fostering collaboration within our community.
