Quimbanda Workshop & Seminar 2021

Por
  Greetings! We are pleased to inform you on behalf of our Casa de Exu that we will arrange for yet another workshop and seminar of Quimbanda in Extrema, the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil from the 24th to 28th of February 2021. This means that we will be physically in the same place, we will not do webinars/zoom. In this event, we aim towards making room for two different styles of Gira, one more traditional and one 'Gira do Mato', which is more crude and rustic, performed in the woods.  The workshop is both theoretical and practical and will also include the first initiatic steps necessary to forge a true and efficient bond with your Exu and Pomba Gira.
