Clara Shinobu Iura -  South America

“In these latest times we live in, when killing seems almost natural, we are here in these days of prayer so that we can illuminate a consciousness for this planet that is in agony. Inside our hearts, I believe each of us present at this gathering feels great hope. This is a seed being planted.”

Born in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Clara studied philosophy at the University of Sao Paulo. Through her experiences of clairvoyance and mediumship, she was initiated through many teachings, from macrobiotics to Umbanda. After helping with the curing of Padrinho Sebastiao, spiritual leader of one of the Santo Daime’s largest churches, she was invited to live and work in Ceu do Mapia, his community located in the heart of the Amazon forest. Since 1999, she has directed the Santa Casa de Sade (Holy House of Health) Padrinho Manoel Corrente, Ceu do Mapia holistic healing center.
