ABADIÂNÎA: THE VILLAGE OF THE CASA

The light of the enties capture by the camera.

The pousadas The pousadas are the very modest and clean inns where we will stay. They are spiritual abodes for those seeking treatments at the Casa. The Entities continue their work during sleep time where spiritual operations can take place. Our pousada is called Nosso Lar. You will receive 3 meals a day, of which two are prepared to your taste. For dinner, I will take you to different restaurants if not otherwise planned. During meals, we share our impressions and our amazement, but in order to integrate these experiences lived at the Casa, the rest of the time we cultivate silence and peace. Internet Cafés You can access Internet cafés to write to your loves ones. You can also print your messages and hook-up your laptop to the Internet. Other services such, as pharmacies, restaurants, clothes shops and hairdressers and so on are available at Abadiânia. At the Fruttis’s restaurant next to our pousada, it is possible to make your phone calls in comfortable individual little rooms, and then pay at the cashier. This way is easier than using calling cards.

What to bring to Brazil

• The airport is huge: best is to have suitcases on wheels. Also, attach a large red ribbon on the
  handle so you may easily recognize your luggage. Also, write your name, your telephone number
  in Quebec and the address of your final destination, the Pousada Nosso Lar, as written on your
  visa and stickled on your luggage.

• Copies of your passport, visa, plane ticket, travel insurance, health insurance, etc. and also give
  me a copy at the airport.

• Pictures of your loved ones to show to the Entities and to receive herbs for them if need be
  (40 us$ per person for 5 bottles of herbs, to ask before leaving since it is recommended that each
  person pays for their herbs). Pictures will be in double impression with, on the reverse side,
  NAME, ADDRESS, AGE, TELEPHONE AND REQUESTS FOR THE ENTITY.

• Light, decent and comfortable white clothes for the 3 times a week séances in the Casa.

• Light clothes for other days - Shoes and trekking sandals.

• A sweater, a vest or a shawl since the evenings and the nights are cool.
