Agenda
Works, walks & Giras
Welcome to our Umbanda works!
We are excited to announce the dates for our upcoming Umbanda events in 2026.
We feel honored to offer you an opportunity to learn and explore the rich spiritual tradition of Umbanda. Our services are designed to provide an introduction to the beliefs, practices, and rituals of Umbanda, a syncretic religion that originated in Brazil.
Our Umbanda spiritual events, religious works and ceremonies take place in the Netherlands. Our services are designed for individuals interested in learning more about this spiritual tradition and are led by our experienced Umbanda facilitators.
Generally we offer our works in these formats:
- 1 day Umbanda Introduction (new)
- 3 day Umbanda Intensive
- 4 day Umbanda Intensive
- 5 day Umbanda Intensive
- Axé Walks in Nature
- Gira de Umbanda
As the network of providers of the Umbanda religion outside of Brazil is still very small, and there is a lot of interest in our work, we trust you understand we have limited opportunities to receive new people. So limited number of spots are available, so we recommend that you register as soon as possible to secure your place.
We look forward to sharing the rich spiritual tradition of the Brazilian Umbanda with you.
