  • Study Group – The Spirits’ Book: 1:45 pm to 3:15 pm (closed group)

This is a Portuguese only group based on the study of The Spirits’ Book, decoded by Allan Kardec. This book is the initial landmark publication of Spiritism that has made a profound impact on the thoughts and views of life of a considerable portion of humankind since the first French edition, published in 1857.

The Spirits’ Book provides answers to questions regarding the origin, nature and destiny of every spirit on earth – and those of other worlds as well.

The book contains answers that were dictated to mediums all over the world by highly evolved spirits.
