Rita Foelker

Hello! I am a Brazilian spiritist writer whose work is mostly aimed for children, educators, parents and people interested in increase of spiritual values.

I'm married and have two teenage sons.

Currently, I have my own publishing company (a small one!) and work as illustrator too.

I take part in a group of hospital clowns, with my second ID: "Doc Tinystar". I like and teach Origami, the art of paper folding.

In many articles, lectures and workshops, I've been trying to reflect about the self-knowledge, education for thinking and emotional intelligence, with practical suggestions and exercises.

I have more than forty books published in Brazil. My texts and the website in Portuguese - www.edicoesgil.com.br - are inspiring many teachers, spiritist educators and parents to see children as Spirits in a neverending process of spiritual evolution and help them to turn themselves into better and happier people.

The development of Seeds website has the friendly volunteer contributions of:

Junara Araújo

Hi, I'm Junara. I'm from Sao Paulo, Brazil. I've been living in Miami, USA for 3 years. I'm married, but I don't have kids yet. I've been a spiritist since I was a child; my family is spiritist too, so I've been in contact with the doctrine my whole life (at least this life!).

I work in a centre in Miami helping to teach children and adults. I study Biology and I'm crazy about nature and all the environments of our beautiful planet. I also work as a volunteer in some projects involving children, nature, etc in the community that I live.

Education is just a great thing in our lives, I can't think about myself not studying, questioning, researching, changing, learning even more. Education gives you light, sometimes it leaves you breathless with all discoveries you can have, it seems magical. The more you study the more you reinvent yourself and the world around you. Furthermore, you will always be young and fresh because knowledge gives you a new life in every lesson that you take. I believe that Education is the great gift that God gave us to play with and find out the many sides of the prism of our existence, the universe, and so on.

Although I've always been a fan of Education, I've never thought that I could be in the other side of a classroom. Now I'm discovering myself teaching others and I'm loving it! It is funny when you find out you are able to do different things through the years. That's the magical of being alive - always!

Lúcia Fontes

Hi! My name is Lucia and I'm 35. I live with my mom in Jundiaí, Sao Paulo, Brazil. I'm divorced and I don't have kids. But I have five cats!

What do I do for a living? I got my bachelor's degree in advertising, but I consider myself to be a graphic designer. Now I'm working with my dad; we are partners in a publishing house.

My first contact with Spiritism was after my marriage, in 1995. My father-in-law gave me some books by Luiz Sérgio (a spiritual author). It seemed that I had finally found the answers to my questions, the confirmation of my thoughts. In 99 I went to a Spiritist house and began to study the Doctrine. In the same year I was invited to know the spiritist teaching among children in the house, first as a visitor. In 2000 I began to teach, to talk, to play, to have fun and, most of all, to learn with the kids. This job is already part of my life! I see myself growing with the kids, learning, giving and earning love, peace, joy and unique knowledge.

If you had asked me, ten years ago, if someday I would be working with children, I would have said: "I don't think I have talent to do that". Today I can say: "This is what I wanted to do all my life". In my case, my talent is being a child!
