He has been, for almost 60 years, a spiritual speaker and writer, having devoted more than 50 years to Spiritism and more than 40 years dedicated taking care of the orphanage Mansao do Caminho in Bahia,Brazil.

Founded in 1952, “Mansão do Caminho” has become, today, a large educational institution, with 50 buildings in an area of 893,400 square feet. Over 3,000 children, teenagers and their families receive free food, education and general assistance on a daily basis

More details on Feijoada:

” Feijoada is a stew of beans with various beef and pork products, which is a typical leading dish of Brazilian and Portuguese cuisine, also popular in Angola and other former Portuguese colonies.

The name comes from feijão, Portuguese for “beans”, and is pronounced [feiʒuˈada] or [feʒuˈada].

Feijoada’s History

A popular myth states that the Brazilian feijoada was a “luxury” dish of African slaves on Brazilian colonial farms (engenhos), as it was prepared with relatively cheap ingredients (beans, rice, collard greens, farofa) and leftovers from salted pork and meat production. Over time, it first became a popular dish among lower classes, and finally the “national dish” of Brazil, offered even by the finest restaurants

“Nosso Lar”, Stories about an Afterlife Home

Posted on December 3rd, 2007

December 6, 2007
7:30 pm	to	8:45 pm

It is safe to say that many people believe there is something waiting for us after our final moments in the material plane. Still, when asked for more details, their answers vary widely. Some believe we go to heaven or hell; others believe we go back to become part of this One Element some call God.For us Spiritists, the transition is less dramatic. We believe every human being evolves in his or her own way and carries with him or her all the virtues and vices developed in the material plane. We also believe that if you want to know how someone is doing in the spiritual realm, just ask yourself how he or she lived here on Earth. Evolution takes place one step at a time. The good news is “we have a lot of time”. Perhaps the most famous Spiritist report about afterlife is Andre Luiz’s bestseller (through the mediumship of Francisco Xavier) “Nosso Lar“. This book has sold more than two million copies worldwide and has been translated and published in several languages.In this talk we explore Andre’s experiences in a Spiritual Colony called “Nosso Lar” (Portuguese for “Our Home”). We follow his steps from the moment he leaves the corporeal world until he finds balance in the Spiritual realm. We navigate through his difficulties and learn the lessons he receives from loving mentors and friends. This Workshop is FREE and no registration is needed.Hope to see you there
