Catching The God Body: Finding Belonging By Excavating Hoodoo Saints

A generative conversation that will explore divinity, belonging, and perfectionism in the current iteration of the Hoodoo tradition. This Wednesday Night Study explores what Zora Neale Hurston called “god-making” and what that has meant for the last 100 years of Hoodoo. The Wednesday Night Study will center Zora Neale Hurston’s elevation into Hoodoo Sainthood, while offering encouragement for the audience to see their imperfections as pathways to understanding their own divinity and sense of rootedness.
