Day 1
The Healing Powers Of The Tijuca Forest
The guide will share her ancestral knowledge and the keys that open up the ways for freedom and peace, through accessing natural powers and learning about natures’ green spirits. This is an experience for believers who want to grow their faith in nature, through its timeless and borderless deities. As Brazilians, we carry our beliefs originated on our Afro-indigenous faith which strength many of us on our everyday lives. The knowledge within this faith is shared through generations and its original source is present in the natural elements which are represented by different orishas or indigenous entities. They will be present on storytelling through myths and tales or in religious ceremonies. This experience is for everyone who wants to share their beliefs and learn a bit about how some Brazilians’ access the divine seeking for strength in nature. We start our first 10 minute-walk at the students’ trail with an introduction to the guide’s experience with the spiritual healing powers of the forest. The guide will introduce the experience and invite you to stretch your body and open your heart and lungs through acknowledgement and breathing exercises. The first trail finishes by the parks’ services facilities where the guide introduces the group to the park history and invites them to appreciate the wowing view of Taunay Waterfall. You will hear about Orishas Oxossi and Oshum and their importance in the afro Brazilian religions. You will take special pictures to create your own postcards. This is our first highlight and natural attractions. On our second 10-minute-trail, the guide will invite you to a silent meditation to connect with your body and soul. To awaken your conscious mind and expand your understanding as a natural being. The guide will invite hearing and breathe the pure air of the rain forest environment, feeling your steps being present.
