Discovering Carioca Forever

If you are from Rio de Janeiro, then you are a '

Carioca

!'

Starting a new life in the infamous city of Rio de Janeiro can be daunting for many of the ex-pat families that find themselves here… but help is at hand!

Carioca Forever is the website and online newsletter that links up the English speaking community in Rio de Janeiro. It offers everything from restaurant recommendations, helpful tips for living in Brazil, cultural events, readers’ stories, music, sport, cooking, community news, pets, travel, worthy causes and so much more.

It is as welcoming and friendly as it is informative, and is a great way of connecting and keeping in touch with the huge number of multinational families and communities that live here. So come and see what all us

Cariocas

are up to in the

Cidade Maravilhosa

of Rio de Janeiro!

Brazil’s Independence Day

Here’s something you don’t expect to see... magnificent tall ships all decked out with flags and with the ship's crew standing in the rigging and sailing past Ipanema beach.

This was just one of the celebrations that took place all over the country to celebrate Dom Pedro’s declaration of Brazil’s independence from Portugal on the 7th September 1822.

A naval parade along Rio de Janeiro’s famous coast line of Leblon, Ipanema, Arpoador, Copacabana and Leme beaches, with the navy’s most modern vessels leading the way, was a fitting and awe inspiring sight for this proud nation.

PRAYER FOR WORLD PEACE

We ask that the time of world peace is now

Each person surrender to their Higher selves and gain a new inner peace and serenity


Leave behind the residual conditioning and emotions of the past and cultivate a new level of understanding, forgiveness and compassion


Enabling the world’s population to live together in acceptance of each person’s individuality, diversity and beliefs


Embracing a new level of stability, security, world peace, plenty for everyone, harmony and unity


As each person moves forward on this level of unconditional love, may they shine and become empowered as they recognise their individual strengths, gifts and talents, and accelerate their own learning, experience, knowledge and wisdom


Let us understand how all of this can effect a new foundation and benefit the Highest good of mankind and humanity


May each person make a difference in our World and from this life experience move forward with understanding and enlightenment


This prayer is said with the highest levels of love, sincerity and integrity


In Love, and Light and Healing
