DAUGHTER OF PROMISE a weekend retreat for women with Luisah Teish

November 9, 10 & 11 at the Neahtawanta Inn

Luisah Teish, author of the witty and provocative Jambala: The Natural Woman's Book of Personal Charms and Practical Rituals, is a woman of wide-ranging talents: dancer, choreographer, storyteller, actress, teacher, ritualist, and writer. Born and raised in New Orleans, she is a priestess of Oshun in the Yoruba Lucumi tradition from Africa.

In this workshop we will explore folklore, music and dances to honor the Goddess, Oshun, the Goddess of love, art, and sensuality. Participants are encouraged to tap into the well of their experience and arouse their erotic selves, letting their creativity flow into vibrant expression. In exploration and expression of all the senses, each participant will create their own personal tribute to the grandeur and passionate abandon that is associated with the Goddess Oshun, and discover how She serves each person on their path in life.

". . . African spirituality offers a view of Nature as alive and functioning, a reverence for woman, reconnecting to spirits without fear, rejection of the concept of the devil, real community, putting joyousness back into worship. . . worship is every act done with integrity and love and the understanding that it is connected to the overall scheme of Nature."
