Universalist Shamanism in Rio de Janeiro
Learn about the spiritual approach of Círculo Sagrado 7 Encruzilhadas in Santa Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
What does Universalist Shamanism mean here?
At Círculo Sagrado 7, Universalist Shamanism is an approach that values ancestral wisdom, connection with nature, spiritual reflection and respect for different paths of belief. It is not presented as a replacement for anyone’s religion, healthcare or personal judgement.
The temple’s spiritual work is guided by Sacerdote A’damor and supported by Guardians during gatherings. Visitors are encouraged to ask about the format, the team’s role, preparation requirements and practical arrangements before scheduling.
Principles that guide our work
Ancestral respect
We approach spiritual traditions with respect and humility, recognising the importance of context, responsibility and cultural sensitivity.
Nature and reflection
Nature, silence, symbolic practices and shared reflection can be part of the spiritual setting. Each gathering has its own format and should be understood in advance.
Individual responsibility
Each person brings their own history and needs. We encourage honest questions, informed decisions and communication with the team before making arrangements.
About Ayahuasca and participation
If you are enquiring about an Ayahuasca experience, contact the temple directly to learn about available formats and the screening process. Do not assume that every format is suitable for every person. Share relevant medication or health concerns with the team before scheduling, and never stop or change prescribed medication without advice from your healthcare professional.
Spiritual experiences are not a substitute for medical or mental-health care, and no therapeutic outcome is guaranteed. We recommend confirming the schedule, exact location, transport arrangements and language support before travelling to Santa Cruz.
