La Letra del Año, or Odu of the Year, is a forecast offered to the community as a result of the Lucumi divination ceremony held by a council of babalawos in Cuba. Announced on January 1st, this “reading” provides a sacred blueprint and predictions for the year ahead.

Each year, CCCADI hosts a panel of Lucumi priests (oluwos, oba oriates, and oloshas) for an evening of multigenerational dialogue exploring the cultural, social, and philosophical implications of the year’s Odu.  

All are welcome.  This virtual gathering invites questions, reflection and collective dialogue throughout the program.

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in dialogue throughout the program. You must register in advance to receive the link to the virtual program.

Este programa contará con un intérprete de español.

Come listen closely to what the year is asking of us!
