The Karnak Wellness Institute at Malcolm X College is being established to engage our community in a call to action to share with our faculty, students and our larger community the ethos (and wisdom tradition) that was embodied in (and disseminated at) the ancient temples of Egypt. And especially at the largest and the most famous of them all, the temple of Karnak. The list of the ancient Greek philosophers and scientist who traveled to Egypt (Khemit) to study at her temples (“mystery schools”) is long and impressive. To name a few: Homer, Solon, Thales of Milet, Plato, Oenopids, Galen, Hipprocrates and of course, Pythagoras himself—who studied for 20 years at the feet of the temple sages in Kemit (Egypt). All of them came to Kemit in search of wisdom… and they found it!
And, just as individuals in ancient times traveled from across the world to come to Karnak in search of enlightenment and knowledge, it is hoped that all those living in our own time and in search of profound knowledge will also come to the “New Karnak” at Malcolm X College, and take full advantage of its curriculum and experts who will address every area and aspect of the challenges of modern life and living in our communities. The goal is not just share ideas, but to also find solutions to the many problems facing our communities and families and…“To restore Ma’at (order) in the Land.” |
