Santo Daime doctrine

Santo Daime is a spiritual tradition originating in Brazil that combines elements of Christianity, African animism, and Indigenous beliefs, centered on the sacramental use of the ayahuasca brew called "Daime." Practitioners view the ritual as a means of spiritual renewal, seeking connection with divine consciousness, nature, and inner wisdom. The doctrine emphasizes moral discipline, community, harmony, and personal transformation through singing, prayer, and meditation during ceremonies. While primarily Christian in outlook, it uniquely integrates Indigenous and African spiritual elements, aiming for personal enlightenment and societal harmony through sacred plant medicine.
