Visit the Archives!   The AmerAkan Village Archives are designed to introduce the best practices (in various fields) in a supremely, … useful way.  We want to help you get things done.  Join an online club ($20/yr), and we’ll be your sounding board, occassional help desk, and cheer squad if you just need to stay motivated.  Of course, you also get access to the online book of best practices, updated annually.

If you’re ready for a change- try our frameworks- we provide training and technical support on various fee schedules. 

Here is where you start:

www.ankh.akhasa.net   *  AmerAkan Natural Kraft Heritage is an online club that focuses on the  experience of working with natural and recycled materials.  We encourage members to share the meaning behind the work they love.  We also seek artists and sponsors for our youth workshops and contests.

www.behipnow.akhasa.net  *From the AfrAkan origins of “hip” as a word for awareness, to the Zen goal of full presence; this club is the place for big ideas, the biggest- as in philosophy and metaphysics.  Many times, you can follow one artifact, such as a cross to a mandala to an ankh- all around the world to find that we are all having the same conversation.  Where are you now?

www.cosmos.akhasa.net  *  Akhasa started the  COSMOS curriculum 17 years ago, before her oldest child was even born, while helping to organize an independent school.  It’s been refined along the way, and now that her 15 year old is going to college in the fall- she is ready to share the methodogy that got her there.  Warning- It’s hard work, but you learn too.

www.djene.akhasa.net  *This club puts some of the Griot, the Djene, back in genealogy- reminding us that oral traditions and material culture can also be insightful paths uncovering family heritage, especially for Asians, Indians, Africans, and Hispanics in the USA.  (Type this one right into the url bar- google can’t handle the nontraditional spelling.)
