About this experience
Join us for an immersive afternoon of Axé in Candomblé, where we honor the Orixás through sacred food offerings, music, and traditions. Discover the deep spiritual significance behind dishes like acarajé for Iansã, a fiery and bold delicacy, amalá for Xangô, made with okra and dendê, symbolizing justice and strength, and caruru for the Ibejis, representing joy and balance. Typical Afro Brasilian Lunch will be offered. As we present these offerings, we will explain the rituals, chants, and gestures that connect devotees to the divine forces of nature. This experience is a journey into the heart of Afro-Brazilian spirituality, where faith, ancestry, and community come together in celebration and devotion.
