Four Diasporas: Creole Poetry
Class Description
Exploring the soul and mind through the rivers of blood and belief with reverence, love, and subconscious and linguistic archeology.
Raised in a Caribbean, Cuban, creole and cajun family in southwestern Louisiana, Bethany grew up speaking multiple languages and absorbing the last vestiges of the unique mixtures of codes and cultures that comprised the creoles and cajuns blended from the natives, Afro-Caribbeans, and europeans for hundreds of years there. This led to her joining multiple international organizations in high school that aimed to preserve and promote these cultures and studying and working in other blended cultures for 12 years globally before beginning post graduate work on Acadian and Creole history in Lafayette and Nola.
Here, her family’s groundbreaking work in opening a research based institute for neuro-diverse children led to a deepening of her work and research studies in neuropsychology, CBT, NLP, positive psychology mentorship, community relations and intuitive nutrition to support wellness and executive functioning as well as happiness and interdependence. She runs an educational collective and farmstead and a local artisan collective to assist creators, artists and dreamers in their entrepreneurial goals.
She found kundalini yoga at 16 and has traveled the world practicing, studying and teaching it, and has been honored to work closely with RaMa and Gurujagat for almost six years now in collaboration and deep symbiosis. Her work with neuropsychological and positive psychological studies continues globally and is the objective of these workshops and retreats.
