Cost: $20 per class. The fees are payable in advance, on a monthly basis.
Meetings: The class will meet on Tuesdays, 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.
This seminar which covers the entire ordination ceremony from beginning to end, including the preparatory stages, takes from 25 to 30 weeks, depending on the students’ level of commitment. Consistent attendance is necessary! I strongly insist that if you cannot commit the time, do not sign up for the course and leave the seat for someone who can make the commitment as space is limited.
Language: Though I am inclined to offer the seminar in English, at this point the language (Spanish or English) in which the seminar will be conducted has not been decided. This will depend on the number of people that sign up and their preference.
To participate, send an email to Eleda.Org (“2010 Seminar” as the subject) with your name, address, telephone number and specify that you are registering for the ordination course. You must provide the name and telephone number of two known Lukumí olorishas that may verify your status in the religion. Iyawós may participate with their olorishas’ consent. I will contact the olorisha personally to confirm. If your status is not verifiable, you will be denied participation in the class. Once your participation is confirmed, I will request a $50.00 non-refundable deposit via Google to guarantee your place. The balance of the first month’s payment and a reminder will be sent to all the participants the week before the class begins.
For those that have already taken the ordination seminar in the past, there is a new Dilogún session in preparation, as well as other seminars on various topics of interest to the community. Please monitor Eleda.Org for future announcements.
