Paraguay
In 2006, The Grail International Movement arrived in Paraguay through Cristina Dos Anjos from Brazil in connection with Modesta Arévalo from Paraguay. The initial members were five women. In 2007, there was participation in a meeting in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and in 2011, participation in The Grail of the Americas in Mexico. These were the first experiences of international gatherings.
In 2013, four women joined, initiating a process of reorganization and group strengthening. In 2017, we participated as observers at the Grail International Council meeting in Fatima, Portugal, and in 2019 at the International Council meeting held in Tanzania, Africa, where Paraguay’s admission to The Grail International Movement was unanimously approved. Ten years later, the decision was made to open the group to other women. In 2024, 12 women joined, forming a total of 18 active members to date.
The experience of participating in international Grail meetings has allowed us to identify with its mission, vision, objectives, and lines of action. In all cases, these gatherings were characterized by a unique opportunity for interaction with other women from other countries and experiencing different cultures and activities.
Our Logo
The CIRCLE represents the circular model that does not hierarchize, compare, or judge participants, but rather enhances the wisdom and growth of each one through open dialogue and respectful listening.
The ÑANDUTI background represents the handmade crafts of the women of our country; the WOMAN within the circle as creator and nurturer of life and as the center of transformation and development of skills and potentials, holding in her hands is a CHALICE/GRAIL that represents the path of self-discovery, spiritual transcendence, and connection with divinity. Additionally, it is the name of the organization that embraces us – The Grail International Movement. And the BUTTERFLIES that emerge from the chalice represent personal transformation and transcendence.
About Our Community
The Grail Paraguay community is currently made up of 18 women who meet systematically for personal and spiritual development activities through Circles of Trust. Meetings are held in members’ private homes, and workshops are conducted in rented halls. We can summarize that The Grail Paraguay group is characterized by a strong sisterhood of support and mutual aid among women.
