First Time Opened To The Public

Experience The Spiritual Healing And Energy Vortex Of

The Sacred Orisa Gardens And Sculptures
At The 1st Annual African Sacred Orisa Gardens Festival
May 14-15, 2011

The Ifa Foundation of North & Latin America announces that they will be hosting the
1st Annual African Sacred Orisa Gardens Festival to be held May 14 and 15 in Crescent City
Florida. The spiritual healing event is the first time the Foundation has opened the gardens to
the public. The Gardens are the only complete example of the ancient Spirits of West Africa in
the Western Hemisphere. In African philosophy, genuine Spiritual Gardens represent the
intermediate point of connection between human and Orisa (Eternal energies created by God).

Following decades of development, the festival will showcase over 20 unique spiritual
sculptures and Orisa Gardens thriving in the African soil of Florida. The grounds represent a
special piece of Earth where thousands of ceremonies, ebbos and offerings have been
performed, creating a unique and intense energy vortex.

Oluwo Philip Neimark, Founder of The Ifa Foundation, stated:

“The Sacred African Orisa Gardens at Ola Olu in central Florida represent the
living embodiment of the individual African Spirits that inhabit natural objects or
Orisa, and pre-date the birth of Christ by several thousand years.”

About The Sacred Spiritual Sculpture Gardens

In African philosophy, genuine Spiritual Gardens represent the intermediate point of

connection between human and Orisa (Eternal energies created by God). This intermediate
point, or physical Orisa, reflects its own accumulated ase’ (eternal energy), as well as the
energy of every prayer and offering that has ever been made to it.

The Sacred Orisa Gardens at Ola Olu represent the only complete Sacred Orisa Gardens in
the Western Hemisphere. In this location literally thousands of ceremonies, ebbos and
offerings have taken place creating an accumulation of the most intense energy vortex within
the physical Orisa, allowing your own potent connection and empowerment to take place.
The Orisa Spiritual Gardens represent both the visions of Susanne Wenger’s dedication to
reviving the traditions of the pre-Christian Yoruba gods and her ongoing working relationship
with Iya Vassa.

The sculpture work of Iya Vassa is an integral part of the Sacred Gardens. A leader in the
Ifa Foundation of North America, Iya Vassa has developed the garden’s living art as a
celebration to the Orisa that guide us. The Sacred Orisa Gardens at Olu Olu in Central Florida
represent a sacred space for those of any spiritual path to connect with the vibrational reality
of the Yoruba Archetypal eternal energies they embody.

More About Africa in Florida

In earliest times, Florida was part of Gondwanaland, the super continent that later divided into
Africa and South America. There is evidence that Florida separated from Gondwanaland about
300 million years ago. Florida eventually found itself wedged between Gondwanaland and
North America when they combined to form the super continent Pangaea. When Pangaea
began to break up, Florida remained behind with North America. Florida slipped slowly
beneath the waves to become part of North America’s continental shelf. Florida finally
emerged from the seas as part of the North American mainland.
