The Orisha Tradition: An African Worldview - Virtual Workshop

DONATE HERE: https://cccadi.kindful.com/

Spirituality is one of CCCADI’s core lines of work. Over the past four decades, CCCADI has redirected the narrative around sacred African-based traditions, and has amplified scholars’ voices who educate the public about the beauty and sanctity of these belief systems. On October 1st at 7pm, Elder Priestess of Yemaya and presenter, Angela Fontanez will be leading The Orisha Tradition: An African Worldview introductory workshop about the traditions that survived the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and flourished throughout the world.

Angela Fontanez, an Elder Priestess of Yemaya and the workshop’s presenter, will intertwine the video’s interviews with scholars and practitioners with performances as well. The workshop will also elaborate on Fontanez’s own commentary about the traditions that survived the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and flourished throughout the world.
