Abstract

The use of daime and the religious practices among Santo Daime churches in. the Netherlands reflect their connection with Santo Daime-CEFLURIS traditional forms, and it can be included in the contemporary process of spiritual seeking, in which ritual is revitalised, as a space of experience. As performance and transcendence are considered to be related to experience, the collective and individual hermeneutics are considered highly relevant, giving room for the stimulation of individual oriented reflection. In this particular aspect, the process of transposition of Santo Daime to the Netherlands shows that the way Dutch Daimistas chose to re-locate ritual and doctrine was motivated by a wish to reproduce the original Brazilian tradition of Santo Daime, exploring its cosmological, therapeutic and associative potentialities.
