The relationship between the development of identity in Candomblé and the process of individuation in psychology.

In challenging times, understanding our roots and the connections we have with the world around us becomes essential. The concept of “Unus Mundus” offers us a profound perspective, addressing psychological, political, philosophical, and cultural aspects that shape our lives, inviting us to reflect on the totality of human experience and our collective responsibility.

Candomblé, with its veneration of the Orixás, allows us to explore these ideas through a rich cultural and spiritual tapestry, connecting us with our identities and the forces of nature. In a recent Working Group, the relationship between identity development in Candomblé and the process of individuation in psychology was discussed, revealing how both can guide our journey of self-discovery and collective responsibility.
