WELCOME TO TGT

TGT holds weekly Giras (rituals) open to the public every Saturday at 4:00 pm.

Templo Guaracy da Terra (TGT) is a spiritual, non-profit organization that follows the Afro-Brazilian tradition of Umbanda. TGT is affiliated with Templo Guaracy do Brasil (TGB) in São Paulo and has been in the Bay area since 1994.

Giras will be held every other week in Berkeley, with the alternating week located in Watsonville. Please see the Calendar for details.

• Gira of Caboclo

  A Gira is one of the primary rituals in the Afro-Brazilian spiritual tradition of Umbanda. During the ritual sacred rhythm, song and dance prepares the space for the mediums to invoke their spiritual guides. These guides bring cleansing, balance, harmony and blessings.
