The Spiritual Council in Africa (TSCA) is a South African Non-Profit Organisation established on March 20th, 2021, in commemoration of the United Nations’ International Day of Happiness.
Our Directors and Founders share a unifying vision: “Uplifting humanity through the empowerment of our youth.”
This vision has swiftly propelled The Spiritual Council to become the African chapter of the global platform known as United Consciousness.
The Spiritual Council has identified seven core sets of limiting beliefs ingrained in society that create divisions among humanity.
These beliefs are as follows:
Our mission is to guide the youth in collectively healing these divisive beliefs by reinstating the universal concept of Oneness through an inclusive spiritual development approach known as “Omnism”.
The primary goal of The Spiritual Council is to foster unity within diversity by providing free educational programs and practical seminars aimed at promoting these values. We are achieving this goal by establishing centres in major townships across South Africa to extend our reach.
Our efforts are supported by generous donors and a dedicated network of volunteers who contribute their time and services to our projects.
You are welcome to visit our Project Page for deeper insights and to support our causes through donations.
Over and above covering the local reach, our Executive Director, Valentina Cortini, is an active Board Member of United Consciousness, a coalition of NGOs – with a presence on every continent – all sharing a common vision, pooling resources, offering teachings, and working together to enhance the well-being of humanity.
Our shared objectives include:
The Spiritual Council is also advising on the board of United Consciousness Global Youth (UCGY).
UCGY seeks to identify young people between the ages of 10 and 24 who are inspired to contribute towards solving planetary issues for the benefit of humankind.
UCGY aims to develop potential global change makers from all six continents, establishing a voice for peace and unity among future generations, incubate ideas and nurture creative solutions to better the world, and provide a platform for dialogue and peaceful exchange.
