A little clarity
for the journey.
A few answers about the movement, the teachings, and the books.

A movement of love, unity, healing, and human dignity founded by Dean N. Maphenduka. It explores our shared humanity through books, teachings, music, and reflection.
Is this for people of a particular faith?
People of different faiths and people without a religious affiliation are welcome. You can bring your own beliefs and questions while sharing a commitment to compassion and human dignity.
How do I follow the 52 Flames?
Visit the 52 Flames library to choose a teaching. Each available Flame has an introduction and a reflection question, with a spoken message or written teaching to explore. Written flipbooks are included where the matching edition is available.
