Saheed Adesumbo Bello explores Orúnmìlà—the ancient legendary
Yorùbá priest-scholar and philosopher as well as interpreter of
the spiritual tradition of Ifá—as the central repository of the
Yoruba people’s knowledge system. Orúnmìlà is also a way to
demonstrate using a non-Eurocentric source that philosophical
activity is culturally specific. In this podcast we learn more
about the concept of Orísa and how to connect with our own Orí
(inner head).

You can read more in his book: The Oral Philosophy of Orunmila
(Bloomsbury 2026) or come to the Nacht van de Zingeving on 2
October 2026 in Rotterdam.

Host: Renate Schepen | Podcast producer and music: Frits de Beer
