Healing Traditions of Acadiana — The Cajun Healer: Revival and Renewal with Colby Hébert

Join us Saturday, June 17 at 11 AM for this edition of Healing Traditions in Acadiana, with Colby Hébert. This presentation is free to the public. New Iberia native and generational Traiteur since the age of 11, Colby Hébert has always had a deep pride and passion for his Louisiana roots. Since 2016, he has used his custom hat business “The Cajun Hatter” as an avenue to express and preserve elements of Cajun and Creole culture. Currently, he has shifted his preservation efforts toward the healing tradition of which he has long been a part. In his talk “The Cajun Healer: Revival and Renewal” Hébert will share his perspectives on how we can honor tradition while embracing the changes necessary to sustain it.
