"RELIGARE is the fruit of my days spent in that location, with an open, respectful heart, after the statement of a trustful approach, with the only intention of harmonically living the delicacy of an own time-space. I had then to begin my own intense and particular journey, going through paths, building relations with people and places that keep a connection with the Santo Daime doctrine during periods inside the community of the Vale do Matutu, located in the Serra do Papagaio, inside the Mantiqueira Environmental Preservation Area, southern Minas Gerais, Brazil." This work is part of the RELIGARE Series.
