          In 1987 under the permission of the esteemed High Priestess Okomfohemma Nana Akua Oparebeah of the Nana Akonnedi Shrine Larteh Kubease Ghana and respectfully Okomfo Panyin Nana Nsia Dennis of Larteh,  Okomfohemma Nana Oparebea Bekoe graduated as Okomfo-Priestess to the deity Nana Asuo Gyebi, 

          In 1992, Nana Nkosuohemma Oparebea Bekoe traveled to Ghana to receive final graduation blessings from the Traditional Counsel of Asafo Elders of the Nana Akonnedi Shrine.   The advice from the counsel of twelve Elders was “Always use your powers for good” and  “A good life leads to a good death, a bad life leads to a bad death.” Nana has always held this advice close to her heart.  Nana returned to America to officially establish The Circle of Light Society with the blessings of the chief deity of Larteh, Nana Akonnedi, and has initiated and trained many Akomfo and continues to initiate and train up to present day.

          In 1993, Nana was initiated and blessed by Darshan Sing and received the blessings of the five sacred angels. 

          In 1998 three years following the death of her beloved teacher, Nana returned to Ghana to sit as interim Okomfohemma of the Nana Akonnedi shrine. It was during this time that Nana received the title of Okomfohemma. 

          In 1999, Nana purchased land for The Circle of Light Society in the mountains of Abiriw, Ghana. The beginning of what would be an ongoing dream to build the Circle of Light Society Compound in Ghana.
