Caribbean Spirituality and Understanding in the Diaspora. Thursday, February 13, 2014. Beneath the mask of Winter Snow, Spring is awakening!

Caribbean Spirituality and Understanding in the Diaspora. Thursday, July 5, 2012. The pathway into the Munanso. Our pathways to our Munanso lead through dense brush, and twist and turn so that it is not possible to see directly into the Munanso from the outside. The pathway is lined with various bushes, vines and trees, including thorn bushes and poison ivy vine. These both act as protectors of the pathway. Not only did the Indigenous People of this country utilize the poison ivy to develop immunity to i...
