Temple service provides a space for friends and members of Ile Orunmila Oshun and our wider community to learn about orisha and worship together. Each month has teaching on a different topic. As Spring approaches Nature bursts forth Her power and beauty. We are blessed with the warmth of the Sun, the beauty of the fields and our own budding eroticism. This is a story session in celebration of the joys of Spring.
