✨ Bandeira de Oxalá in Maryland — moments from last year’s gathering ✨

Rooted in the traditions of Umbanda and the wisdom of the forest, this altar brings together song, prayer, and devotion to the Orixás — spiritual forces of nature, ancestors, and resistance.

Umbanda was born in Brazil from the meeting of Indigenous, African, and European spiritualities — a powerful response to colonization, slavery, and forced conversion.
It is a tradition of resilience. Of healing. Of harmony between worlds.

We return to Maryland July 19 & 20, walking this sacred path together once again.
Axé to all who walk in reverence and remembrance.
