Mission Statement

The mission of Céu do Montréal is to uphold the central tenets of the Santo Daime — to provide for the transformation and evolution of all persons seeking enlightenment in communion with Divine Creator Consciousness through the entheogen Santo Daime in the rituals known as Works.

Our practice

The rituals are called Works because we believe that, through them, initiates have the conscious responsibility for correcting personal flaws and transforming themselves during and after the spiritual services.

Although all are welcome to participate in the rituals for the gaining of truth, knowledge, and self-transformation, proselytizing is strictly forbidden. Membership in the Santo Daime is gained only upon the serious request of the participant.

Our responsibility as members

To live the teachings of the Hymns and Tenets, love the Divine Creator, love the Earth, love all beings in creation including oneself, love and respect all brothers and sisters, accept the truth of one's divinity and one's faults, and learn to embody forgiveness, compassion, and humility.

What we encourage

The study of the Santo Daime principles through the hymns, music, prayer, meditation, inquiry, and self-reflection
Personal self-reflection and spiritual inquiry with the intention of self-actualization
Full equality of women and men in all aspects of church leadership and religious life
Personal responsibility for one's health and well-being, and for religious choices made from knowledge and commitment
Dedication to the care and sustainability of Mother Earth and all creation, through personal transformation and acts of service and social justice
