Grande Oriente Feminino do Brasil

Lodges Exclusively for Women.

The GOF of Brazil's main work is in Brazil, because they are Brazilian, but they maintain Masonic ties of amity around the world including with lodges existing inPortugal, France, England, and Greece.

Their Flagship Lodge is located in the capital state of São Paulo, but they have lodges across the country, in cities where they originally founded Masonic Triangles that are meeting places of Masons.

Besides their established lodges they also have twelve Masonic triangles across the country which in the future will be exclusive lodges for women Freemasons.

Their secretary of chancery and inquiries for joining Freemasonry is located in the city of Campinas, SP.

The GOF of Brazil notes that Freemasonry is not a religion, cult, or anything like that, nor is it connected to such institutions or practices. They are a civic entity and they do nothing hidden if they keep secrets it is part of their organization free of corruption and selfishness. 

The secrets of Freemasonry are spoken as words at meetings; only those knowing the passwords may enter. Someone who might try to infiltrate or are without our principles of loyalty, honesty, and service to others will not be admitted to meetings.

Their Grand Mistress, the Serenissima Sr Collins Lu states,

"If I need to define what is a Freemason would say that someone is committed to honesty, so are we." — Lu Collins ஃ

Memorial for Tata Bunseki Fu-Kiau

We wish to share in the tribute to the late Kimbwandende kia Bunseki Fu-Kiau, B.A., M.Ed., M.S. and Ph.D., was an indigenous African teacher, scholar, lecturer, healer and spiritual guide. He authored many books including “Simbi-Simbi: Hold Up That Which Holds You Up” (2006), “African Cosmology of the Bantu-Kongo” (2001), and “Self-Healing Power and Therapy” (1991). He lectured on African concepts of reality and African spiritual practices throughout Africa, Europe, the United States, the Caribbean and South America. He was one of the great elders of the African family and a true gift to humanity.

He was initiated into Lemba starting in 1964 in Manianga region of Congo-Kinshasha and the Lari region of Congo-Brazzaville. Fu-Kiau was initiated by this grandfather and both paternal and maternal uncles. Lemba is the highest Kongo society for healing and diplomacy. Starting in 1966 he was initiated into Kinkimba (aka Kimba) in the Yombe and Mtadi regions of Congo-Kinshasha and Cabinda Province, Angola and Luanda Province of northern Angola. The principle ngangas who initiated him were Simon Muyinu and Ntungulu, his uncle. Kinkimba is a society or discipline that deals with the value, understanding and use of herbs, particularly those from the Yombe forest. Kinkimba uses a special initiatory language to protect and preserve their teachings. Also in 1966, Fu-Kiau was initiated into Kimpasi in the Madimba areas of Inkisi and Ngungu, Congo-Kinshasha. He was instructed in Kimpasi by local ngangas. Kimpasi teaches youth, both male and female, how to endure in impossible situations, how to become moral fighters for the community.
