ECLECTIC CENTER

ABASSA SOMATREE UNITY

SARAVÁ [Asè welcome]

I'm Sioma, baptized as Kita Lukaya, Mãe de Santo [Priestess] and Padrinho Yoa of Abassa Somatree.

Abassa Somatree is an eclectic center that studies a diversity of spiritual philosophies and practices including the Afro-Brazilian Umbanda Tradition.

We achieve in this space a deep practice with the ancient African Asè energy according to the Brazilian Umbanda Tradition.

Asè is the energy of pure goodness that creates life and contains the gear of the Universe that we could call Destiny. We practice positive ways to achieve Asè energy as we learn about ourselves and our purpose in this life walking with Mother Earth.

Asè energy is irradiate from Creation called Olodumare, as well as from the divine Forces of Nature called Orishas.

Umbanda practice vibrates Nature & unveils Destiny.

Each Orisha is a beautiful quality of Creation that supports a thriving Life-Destiny for all humanity. The pure vibration of Yemanja Orisha brings the waters of fertility, as Oshossi Orisha throws the arrow of knowledge in communion with the forest.

Our main Enchanted guide is the incredible Caboclo Tupinambá.

Abassa Somatree honors our high-Priest
