Céu das Artes

Any Questions?

Here are some answers…

Must I wear white?

In most terreiros, Umbanda is practiced in white clothes, as sign of purity. The special white clothings that can take some time to get used to, we admit, is also a kind of “working uniform” – clothes that you especially wear with the intention of doing some good inner cleaning. So we invite you to dress in white, or as light as possible. However, this is only an invitation. If white is juts not your thing and you would feel completely “dressed up” skip the white clothes, and just come as you are.

Do I need to have any experience with Umbanda before joining your works?

No. Beginners are completely welcome – and we love how in the past years we could inspire more and more people to practice this joyful tradition from Brazil. However it is recommended to know your intention for coming to our works, any why are willing to do this “work” – because it is not always enjoyable. In our experience a strong intention can help you navigate the bumpy parts.

Do I have to be a member of Céu das Artes to join your Umbanda works?

No. However you do need to be recommended / introduced by a friend to be able to register to our works. We take our ceremonies seriously and therefore prefer working with people who have set good intentions to their work. This way – in our experience – you and our community profit most from our spiritual events.

How can I integrate what I learn in the works to my daily life?

Integration is its own piece of pie entirely. However here are some first tipps to give you an idea of the “work after the work” that will be waiting for you, after taking part in our Umbanda events.

We recommend taking notes during the practices: Jot down important insights, techniques, and strategies that resonate with you. This will help you remember what you learned and how to apply it in your daily life.

Practice what you learned: Try to apply what you learned during the event in your daily life. Start with small steps and gradually integrate the new practices into your routine.

Find an accountability partner: Partner with someone who attended the work or someone who supports your growth. (This is also why the community aspect of our practice is so important to us.) Share your goals and progress with them and ask for their support and encouragement.

Review and reflect: Take time to review and reflect on what you learned during the event. Regularly assess your progress and adjust your approach as needed.

Ask for help: If you struggle with integration, please also don’t hesitate to contact us.
