Nassau, Bahamas - The
House of Rastafari is currently hosting the 3rd Annual Intermansion
Conference at T.A. Thompson Junior High School on Gregory Street. The
yearly 7 day conference is held from 7:30 to11:00pm.
It began on Tuesday, October 14th and will continue until the 20th. The
theme of the conference is Balafa Bagadama QuT'r, which is Amharic for
"One the way”. Each night features specific topics namely:
“Spirituality, Communication & Relationships, Economic Empowerment
& Collective Security, Rites of Passage, Human Rights, Repatriation
& Reparations, and the Selection of Officers.
The
House of Rastafari, a budding organization, emerged in response to the
need to coordinate the efforts of the national Rastafari family. It was
born out of the need to have the Bahamian population at large have
deeper understanding of who we are and what we represent. It is also
felt that through this medium, the Rastafari community can better
achieve its goals of the development, and advancement of its people;
African (black) people specifically, and the world generally.
The
House of Rastafari was formed following the 7 days reasoning
Intermansion conference held in October of 2012. The Community Steering
Committee Meetings are held at the Yellow Elder Park Park on Monday nights from 8:00 - 10:30pm.
