Community

According to TrigueirinhoNetto, founder of Nazaré Centro de Luz – together with a founding group – “the Community” is the whole group: the resident and non-resident members, no matter where they live, because it actually is an interconnected group of Souls.”

From the outset, it was necessary to have a clear idea of the sense of community that was being experienced. Unlike the many intentional communities that were emerging at that historical moment, Nazaré Uniluz was not an intentional community for the development of new family bases or a laboratory for creating new concepts and patterns of human relationships or cities, where people share a common life, children are born and new family groups are formed.The initial concept was of a School or Center of Meditation.

The word community serves to refer to the spiritual meaning of a group united by a shared proposal for self-knowledge. The relational context takes into account both the transpersonal and group aspects, in which the relationship is always that of the individual with the whole group.

The community is formed by residents, collaborators, employees, participants in experiences and courses, taking turns in the roles of apprentices and instructors, and everyone’s motivation is to learn about different subjects in the many classrooms at the university.

a great "living in group"

The methodology is “Living in Group” which, as in a virtuous circle, helps to create the spirit of community and continuous learning to support each individual’s inner and spiritual journey.

You could say that our “community aspect” is totally intertwined with the sense of volunteering and,first and foremost,people voluntarily set out to know themselves and use their freedom to expand consciousness and meet the needs of their own Soul.

By doing this in the context of a group-community, they also participate in the expansion of consciousness of the Whole.
