This workshop emphasizes the history of African American women as a sacred history, a resource for compassionate social and personal transformation. By examining our own personal and collective stories (in both joy and trouble), we will seek the resources of spirit, creativity and grace that sustained generations before us and that are available to us as well. The retreat also includes reflections on the orishas, the ancient West African cosmic energies who have fed ritual traditions such as Brazilian Candomblé, Cuban Santeria/Lucumí and Haitian Vodou.
