PRIESTHOOD SECRETS

The spirituality of Umbanda can be developed in several ways, but one thing is certain: the temple is the ideal place to learn and develop the practice of mediumship. But after all...

• How to open and spiritualy ground an Umbanda Temple?
• What are the fundamentals to prepare the physical space that will accommodate the mediums?
• What characteristics and rites of passage are needed by a Priest of Umbanda?
• And, as important as that: what is the desired posture, behavior, and profile of a Priest to lead his community?

After more than 20 years of deep experience in Umbanda practice, Alan Barbieri - Umbanda's biggest Brazilian youtubber and author of the bestselling Wisdom of Umbanda - opens the doors to Tempo Escola Casa de Lei to answer these and other fundamental questions in Secrets of the Priesthood.

THE WISDOM OF UMBANDA

To experience Umbanda spirituality in a full way requires more than just having faith or attending a temple... It requires effort, dedication, resignation and - especially - humbleness.

Humbleness to recognize that we are not alone in the Universe. That our truth is not the only truth and, above all, that even after years of learning we still know little more than the mysteries of life.

In the words of the author himself: "My mission is to help people find their purpose in Umbanda and life, just as I found mine." It is from this reflection that Umbanda priest Alan Barbieri writes his debut book: The Wisdom of Umbanda is much more than a book of fundamentals or traditions of this beautiful religion: it is an invitation to unveil the unknown, to learn from those who came before us and with the heart in peace receive the blessings of the Spiritual Guides.
