First Asheville Osun Festival

On August 14th, 2009, concurrently with Osogbo, Nigeria we celebrated our first Osun Festival in Asheville , NC at our beautiful French Broad River. Our two Zamani Refuge trainees, initiated Orisha priests from Nigeria officiated and were able assisted by Yeye Osunyemi, priestess of Osun.
This Asheville event is the predecessor to a much larger festival planned for the fall of 2010.

God bless you. Thanks for being in touch with our eternal culture and spiritual heritage. The agressive religions of christianity and Islam will come and go and we shall continue to have our bitrhright and connection with eternity.
