About the house

History of the Casa dos Espíritas de Pernambuco

The Casa dos Espíritas de Pernambuco was founded on 16 July 1940 through the mediumship of Iraci L. Campos and registered on 28 April 1970 as a private non-profit association. Since its foundation the house has devoted itself to the study, practice and dissemination of the Spiritist doctrine in Recife.

The Spiritist doctrine was codified by Allan Kardec from 1857 onwards, starting with The Spirits' Book, and rests on the existence of God, the immortality of the soul, communication with spirits, reincarnation and the law of cause and effect. The house studies these works and shares them in public lectures open to everyone.

The house is located at Rua Aníbal Falcão, 148, in the Graças neighbourhood of Recife, Pernambuco. Admission to the lectures is free and the house charges no fees and requires no membership from those who come to it.
