New Visitors

Light and health to you and your loved ones.

Our visitor forms are open. Given the volume of requests we receive, we count on your understanding as it may take some time for us to respond to applications and questions.

Before you apply

Céu do Montréal welcomes visitors, but every visitor must first read the Visitor's Guide (PDF), take part in a personal interview, and attend a number of hymn practices at our church, prior to attending a Work (Santo Daime rituals are known as Works).

We ask potential visitors to attend an Information Evening, and/or to review the videos on our education page and the videos and audios on the Santo Daime available at www.revdrjessicarochester.com.

Information Evenings are held regularly, and we encourage all potential visitors to attend. Visitor forms and any auxiliary medical information must be completed before attending a first Work. Pre-registration is required — you will receive the session link one week prior to the event.

Please be patient. We are a small volunteer-run church, we take the preparation, health, and well-being of our visitors seriously, and this process can take up to a few months. We generally maintain a waiting list for Works.

Attending a Work

Céu do Montréal is a single-sacrament church. No other substances may be used three days before or after the Works.

The Works can be physically, emotionally, and spiritually challenging. Soliciting is forbidden in the Santo Daime tradition — all who wish to participate do so by solemn and informed request. Every participant undergoes a screening process, as some medical conditions and medications are contra-indicated.

Preparation includes healthy self-care and setting clear intentions. Preparing on the physical, mental, and emotional levels helps one be more open on the spiritual level. Following the tradition, we are mindful of activities and habits for three days before and three days after each Work.

Important note for out-of-town visitors: all travel to and accommodation in Montréal is your own responsibility. According to our tradition and regulations, no new visitor may drive home after a Work.

During the Works it is necessary to follow the Rules of the Salão (PDF).
