Sat 17 May 2025 – 17:00 – 22:00 – Círculo Celebration: Brazilian Candomblé for Beginners – Ceremony, Talk, Music and food

This special event will celebrate Orixá Oxalá, an ancient force of nature. Through the priestesses, Oxalá praises the prophecy:

✨ The world will one day know one hundred years of peace, under the rule of children. ✨

During the event, you will have the opportunity to:
● Ask questions about Brazilian Candomblé and engage directly with elders.
● Experience a traditional drumming and chanting ceremony.
●Enjoy a music concert.
● Share in food and community.

This gathering is inspired by the Festa do Divino, a one-month-long ceremony found in Candomblé Houses and Maroon Communities across Brazil.
It is a participatory way to create coexistence, build community, and reconnect with ancestry and diaspora.

The event will be hosted by Tulipa's Society, a Society that honors Zahar—a Vungira in the Brazilian Candomblé tradition.
It is inspired by Sociedade das Tulipas, a sisterhood based at Redandá Candomblé House in Cipó-Guaçu, São Paulo, which has been organizing beneficent events for hospitals treating Wildfire disease and other causes since 1970.
