• In Abadiânia we stay at a small guest house/pousada approximately a 10 minute walk or short taxi ride from The Casa. Accommodation is simple and clean. The pousada is used almost exclusively by people attending the Casa.
• Food is provided three times a day buffet style and always includes a vegetarian option.
• A laundry service is available on a per piece basis. You can also do your own.
• An orientation tour of the Casa will be given soon after arrival.
• The group leader or a support person will be on hand during all Casa sessions to support and accompany participants through their processes and to give direction on how to maximise the benefits of their stay. This includes strongly encouraging participants to stay within the confines of Abadiânia.
• The Casa De Dom Inácio operates as a healing centre Wednesdays to Fridays, morning and afternoon. However, the group leader encourages participants to spend as much time as possible at the Casa on the intervening days.
• Translators are provided where necessary.
• Taxis are available at minimal cost for those who don't wish to walk.
• Fruit, chippies, fruit juices etc. are available locally.
• Email and internet access are available locally at internet cafés and wifi is available at the guest house. However, participants are discouraged from making outside contact, particularly during their first week.
• The temperature is usually mid to upper 20s all year round. Temperatures can drop to chilly levels in mornings from mid June to August so bring a warm sweater for this time of year. Bring a collapsible umbrella for the rainy season, October to March. See weather.yahoo.com/forecast/BRXX0803.html for the current forecast.

In addition to supporting the members of the group, the support person will from time to time, also be a similar support to others at the Casa. However, the needs of the members of the group will take precedence.
