Abstract

How volunteering operates in spiritualist education, experienced by the subjects of the Mãos à Obra Group, which operates in Bezerra de Menezes Disclosure Spiritist Association? Through this research question, this project seeks to know how the voluntary work of the Mãos à Obra Group, which belongs to GEPE – Grupo Espirita Paulo e Estevão, which operates in the communities living in Bezerra de Menezes Disclosure Spiritist Association, in Jaguaretama. - Functions as mediation and training in spiritualist perspective. The research has qualitative and methodologically will develop through the History of Life and Training (DELORY-Momberger; 2006). As the investigation procedures, we will use participant observation, field diary, educational biographies and Reflexive cycles, which will be the group research device. Respondents will be selected within the same group (Mãos à Obra), based on a minimum of two years of participation in volunteer work; and the search location will be the Bezerra de Menezes Disclosure Spiritist Association, located in thesettlement six area of the municipality of Jaguaretama - Ceará. From the production of knowledge raised, there was the emblematic presence of Bezerra de Menezes, the doctor of the poor, as a reference in place; and it was seen that he fertilizes the dialogue of subjects with its spiritual dimension. It was noticed that when using volunteering as an educational principle, this offer a capable field of sedimentary transformations of the subject, providing foundations for a social utopia. By doing your readings themselves, in the course of volunteer work, it was seen that the subjects begin to operate with the valuation of intangibles and non-negotiable bonuses. It was observed that there are excedances of work fragmentation as in capitalism, since the knowledge produced in volunteer work are essentially the order of existence ("life knowledge"), producing a chat network which thrives spiritual reflection that together set apart dimensions as the ethical-moral, affectivity, sociality and spirituality in a collective solidarity and social action. It was found that volunteer work, therefore, consolidates the educability of the subject that, to take concrete solidarity and collective actions, make a powerful reflective path to put them questioning their own history and committed to social suffering. It was concluded also that the spiritualist volunteer work, in dealing with the multiple dimensions of the subject, places it as a spiritual being, in transit of the reincarnation, in its evolutionary path, so transformer.
