Céu do Montréal
Artwork by Jorge PatrocínioThe Santo Daime is a religion, and its rituals — known as Works — are religious services of prayer, hymn singing, and meditation. No claims are made for healing, and the Works are not personal-growth workshops or a replacement for any medical or psychological treatment.
Santo Daime
The Santo Daime is a syncretic spiritual practice founded in the Brazilian Amazonic state of Acre in the 1930s by Raimundo Irineu Serra, known as Mestre Irineu. It weaves together Christianity, South American shamanism, African animism, Kardec spiritism, and Eastern transcendental wisdom, and has grown into a worldwide movement since the 1990s.
Central to the practice is the sacrament taken in the rituals. Often referred to as Ayahuasca, in this tradition it is known as Daime or Santo Daime.
Single Sacrament
Céu do Montréal is a single-sacrament church and does not tolerate the use of any other substance before, during or after a spiritual service.
We ask all attendees to respect the direction of Mestre Irineu, who advised mindfulness and abstention regarding diet and habits during the three days before and three days after each Work.
Non-Profit
Céu do Montréal is volunteer-managed and supported entirely by members, visitors, and their donations. We maintain this site as a community education effort — please help support our endeavours.
