Too weak to make the ring of strength. I spend it in bed. Aida and Sami from Palestine make the film and in parallel a small group performs a small fire ritual to inaugurate the new fireplace and say goodbye to Mena’s soul. Agatha sings a beautiful song for Mena …
The group goes to the nearby sitio to say goodbye to the staff of the favela da paz. It will be a day of celebration, a day of gratitude. My body demands a pause for reflection. I have already had a feverish night. It is as if I am floating …
It is like a miracle. The hall, which seemed dilapidated a few days ago, now looks ready to receive us with a newly installed ceiling. Overnight a group has put up tents and on the former soccer field a fairground has been created. Individual groups have set up small stalls …
A day of hands on work. We work in the backyard, a small garden with a jabuticaba tree, a tree whose fruit grows directly on the trunk. A small group creates a compost, paths are beautified and a small ritual fireplace is created. New plants are planted in the small …

A restless night with many dreams. Early in the morning I do the Ring of Power in the inner courtyard. I usually always wake up at 4:00, so I don’t need an alarm clock. It is nice to tend the Agnihotra fire after my meditation, just before I take the …
A day of soul-searching. Once again a meeting with Gloria Guartas and some of her friends. Interesting that on this trip there were no meetings with the indigenous people. Instead, another resie seems to call, with much more slowness. Instead, I participate in the “Sacred infinite Fire festival”. It is …
