MÃE D'ÁGUA TEMPLE
The Mãe D'água Temple was envisioned by the dear Madrinha Yatra, in 2004. And together with her band and friends of the journey who accompanied her since 1996, the Temple was built with the intention of being a center of light.
Over the years, many ceremonies took place in this ground, many prayers, many medicine men and women have passed through and brought some of their light and teachings.
It is a sacred house, protected and blessed by divine beings and entities of nature.
Ceremonies
In ceremonies, blessed with pure light, the divine expresses itself through music, as a way of praying and giving thanks. Most of the hymns sung in the ceremonies are from the members of the tribe. Their songs lead us to the contemplation of the inner self, in an environment where love, healing, gratitude, joy, abundance and celebration happen naturally, allowing God within each one to manifest.
