This experience allowed us to practice some of the traditional movements and activities that proved to be not only physically challenging and unusual to any who hasn?t experienced it, but also deeply spiritual and unique for each individual. ?Capoeira é amoroso, não é perversa. É um hábito cortês que criamos dentro de nós, uma comida vagabunda?-Mestre Pastinha. This man was a master practitioner of the Brazilian martial art Capoeira, a traditional cultural practice in Brazil that focuses on the inner spirituality of a person and expression. It consists of a series of collective movements pertaining to acrobatics, dancing, and music. The RTG Ambassadors and I were fortunate enough to participate in a Capoeira Angola experience with a group in São Paulo called Nzinga. Shortly after Capoeira, we grabbed a quick bite to eat at Komy?s Self Service restaurant and attended a lecture with Carmen Lopes, a well known social worker in São Paulo who works to provide personalized self care services such as beauty supplies and clothing for women in at risk social situations due to homelessness or drug issues.
