A study of The Spirits’ Book, one of Allan Kardec’s book of the Spiritist Codification.

If you would like to know which question we are currently studying, please contact us. The discussion study is followed by passes.
This activity is open to the public and there is no need for a prior appointment.

A study of Mediumship, its phenomenology and implications. This study session is based on a booklet prepared by the Brazilian Spiritist Federation (FEB) and translated by the Spiritist Alliance for Books (SAB). It is also based on an open discussion of the reading material.
