A Weekend of Inspiration, Service and Spirit with José Medrado
The Light House “The House of Light” was honoured to host internationally renowned Brazilian spirit artist and trance medium José Medrado during his recent Australian visit, with presentations held in both Melton and, in partnership with our sister organisation, the Pakenham Spiritualist Centre in Officer.
The weekend brought together people from many different backgrounds, united by curiosity, appreciation for creativity, and a shared desire to support a worthy humanitarian cause. Each event was warmly attended, creating an atmosphere of friendship, inspiration, and generosity.
Throughout the demonstrations, José Medrado produced an extraordinary collection of paintings in remarkably short periods of time while working in what he describes as a trance state. Whether attendees came from a spiritual perspective, an artistic interest, or simply to witness something unique, there was a genuine sense of wonder as each canvas emerged before the audience’s eyes.
One of the highlights of every session was the live auction of the artworks created during the demonstrations. The enthusiasm and generosity shown by those present was truly inspiring, with each successful bid directly supporting Cidade da Luz (City of Light) in Salvador, Brazil.
Founded by José Medrado, Cidade da Luz is a charitable organisation dedicated to providing education, healthcare, social support, and opportunities for hundreds of children and families in need. It was deeply rewarding to know that every ticket purchased, every volunteer contribution, and every artwork auctioned will help continue this remarkable humanitarian work.
Events such as these remind us that, regardless of our individual beliefs or backgrounds, acts of kindness and generosity have the power to connect people across cultures and continents. The success of the weekend was not measured only by attendance or the beautiful paintings that were created, but by the collective spirit of everyone who chose to participate in something that will make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to José Medrado for sharing his gift and vision, to everyone who travelled to attend the demonstrations, to those who participated so generously in the auctions, and to the many volunteers from both The Light House “The House of Light” and the Pakenham Spiritualist Centre whose dedication behind the scenes made these events possible.
Together, we witnessed not only remarkable works of art, but also the extraordinary generosity of a community coming together in the spirit of compassion, service, and hope.
We invite you to enjoy the photographs below as a lasting reminder of a truly memorable weekend.
