[wadabo_updates at wadabo.com]

Dear African Dance & Music Community,
Take this opportunity to learn more about the religious culture
that informs much of Haitian dance and music arts...
*
**SERVING THE SPIRITS: AN INTRODUCTION TO HAITIAN VODOU
a two-part workshop series taught by
Bon Manbo Marie Maude Evans
of Jacmel, Haiti and Mattapan (Boston**), MA
Sunday, March 9 and Sunday, April 13
1:00PM-5:00PM  ----  $50 per day*

Vodou is a religion of service--service to God, to the spirits, and to our
ancestors.  Manbo Maude will draw on her extensive experience to give an
extended introduction to the practice of Haitian Vodou.   Topics will
include: the major Lwa (spirits), their attributes, and how to communicate
with them; how to begin serving in your own home; and how to make a simple
altar.

Manbo Maude has over fifteen years of experience as a priestess.  She
recently conducted the first Vodou service at Harvard University.   This is
a rare opportunity to receive practical instruction from an expert on
Haitian Vodou. Workshops will take place in Mattapan (Boston),
Massachusetts (accessible
by public transportation).
