WELCOME TO TGW

PUBLIC GIRAS (Spiritual Rituals) are held Saturdays at 3PM and 6PM (During August, we will have only one gira at 6pm).

Templo Guaracy de Washington is a spiritual, non-profit organization that follows the Afro-Brazilian tradition of Umbanda. TGW is closely affiliated with the Templo Guaracy do Brasil.

• Public Giras - Every Saturday

  A Gira is a spiritual work open to the public and based on the Afro-Brazilian tradition of Umbanda. During the ceremony, entities of light are received by initiated mediums to offer a blessing and energetic cleansing. These entities carry a spiritual wisdom which is associated with specific qualities of consciousness and Orixas (energies found in nature).

• CELEBRATION OF THE LINE OF THE ORIENT

  On this day we will play homage to the Line of the ORIENT. We will have an exhibit and a presentation about the fundamentals of this line.We will close with a Gira of the ORIENT.

• Ritual at the Sea

  Every year, we pay homage to Iemanjá, the Orixá related to the Sea, a great Mother for all the followers of the Afro-Brazilian tradition. This year we will gather on Saturday August 28, at the Delaware Seashore State Park near Rehoboth, our usual place.
