Spirituality, diversity and collective learning.

Universalism recognizes that spirituality may be expressed through different paths. The Sanctuary’s ceremonies engage with themes, symbols and teachings from diverse traditions without reducing them to a single interpretation.

This openness does not mean unrestricted appropriation. The Sanctuary respects contexts of origin and does not claim to represent peoples or lineages that are not its own.

The shared direction of four people expresses a foundational principle: knowledge, service and responsibility are built collectively rather than centralized in a single spiritual authority.

Directors, guardians and participants are part of the same human journey of learning. Different responsibilities do not authorize imposed diagnoses or interpretations of another person’s experience.

The Sanctuary welcomes human diversity. People of different origins, beliefs, gender identities, sexual orientations and ways of being are treated with equal respect.

The rainbow present at the Sanctuary carries several meanings and also represents diversity: distinct colors forming a shared whole without losing their singularity.

The Sanctuary honors Indigenous knowledge through attribution, listening and clear limits. Encounters with Indigenous people are documented as relationships and learning, not as authorization to reproduce rites or speak on behalf of a people.

The Sanctuary has its own ritual formation and does not claim formal affiliation with Santo Daime, União do Vegetal or other ayahuasca religions.
