The Santo Daime doctrine

• The doctrine of the Santo Daime is Christ-centered
• The Daime also aligns with the forces of nature and indigenous traditions
• The doctrine of the Santo Daime is contained in the hymns and prayers

Santo Daime hymns

• There is little talking during a typical 6-7 hour Santo Daime Work, and lots of singing
• The hymns carry a healing current
• Most hymns and prayers are in Portuguese, but you do not need to know Portuguese to participate

This is a modest spiritual path

• Women and men sit separately
• Participants wear all white, or very light colors
• We dress modestly, meaning long pants for men and long skirts or loose pants (preferred) for women; covered shoulders for everyone.

We seek harmony

• Various forms and structures are in place to promote harmony

What to bring

• A water bottle that closes securely, a fleece/sweater (wear layers), snacks for afterwards, hymn books (if you have them)
  • If you don’t have printed hymn books, you may bring a tablet or other electronic device for accessing electronic versions
