Description
Dear Adventurous Souls,
Are you yearning for a life far away from the chaos of the urban jungle? A place where nature's beauty and cultural exchange intertwine harmoniously? Welcome to our sanctuary in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil!
Let me introduce myself. I am Pedro, a dreamer and a believer in the power of community and the wonders of nature. Born and raised in Frederico Westphalen, I embarked on a journey that took me to the bustling cities, only to realize that my heart belonged to the countryside. So, I returned to my roots, and here, amidst the embrace of nature, my vision took shape.
Our little piece of paradise is a multicultural haven, a place of knowledge, art, culture, and love. Over the years, our doors have welcomed volunteers from all corners of the world, and together, we have experienced incredible cultural exchanges, shared knowledge, and formed lasting friendships. Our space is a canvas for growth and transformation, a place where dreams are nurtured and realities are shaped.
As we continue to grow and evolve, we find ourselves in need of passionate souls like you to join our journey. Are you intrigued? Let me share with you what awaits.
Our project is rooted in permaculture, sustainable practices, and a deep connection with the land. From tending to lush vegetable gardens to caring for our beloved animals, every task carries a sense of purpose and fulfillment. The warm embrace of the community here will envelop you, and together, we will explore the wonders of forest management, bioconstruction, and holistic therapies. And fear not, if you're new to these practices, we are more than willing to provide basic training to nurture your skills.
In addition to the enriching experiences within our sanctuary, the surrounding region offers a treasure trove of natural beauty. Countless waterfalls, thermal waters, and picturesque villages of the Kaingang peoples are just a stone's throw away. The city of South Amethyst beckons with its amethyst stones and awe-inspiring caves turned into wineries and breweries.
So, if you seek refuge from the chaos of urban life and yearn to reconnect with nature, we invite you to join us. Here, time flows peacefully, and moments of self-discovery and reflection await you. Embrace this unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a cultural haven, learn from each other, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
All we ask for is your commitment, respect, and willingness to participate and assist in our ongoing projects. Whether you choose a long-term stay or a sporadic volunteer opportunity, your presence will be cherished.
Come, be a part of our story, and let us be a part of yours. Together, let's create a world where sustainable living, personal growth, and community spirit thrive.
With open hearts and a warm embrace,
Pedro and the Nature's Embrace family

Abraçando a Natureza: Junte-se à Nossa Jornada
Caras Almas Aventureiras,
Você anseia por uma vida longe do caos da selva urbana? Um lugar onde a beleza da natureza e a troca cultural se entrelaçam harmoniosamente? Bem-vindo ao nosso santuário em Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil!
Permita-me me apresentar. Eu sou Pedro, um sonhador e crente no poder da comunidade e nas maravilhas da natureza. Nascido e criado em Frederico Westphalen, embarquei em uma jornada que me levou às cidades agitadas, apenas para perceber que meu coração pertencia ao campo. Assim, voltei às minhas raízes e aqui, em meio ao abraço da natureza, minha visão tomou forma.
Nosso pequeno pedaço de paraíso é um refúgio multicultural, um lugar de conhecimento, arte, cultura e amor. Ao longo dos anos, nossas portas receberam voluntários de todos os cantos do mundo e juntos, vivenciamos incríveis trocas culturais, compartilhamos conhecimentos e formamos amizades duradouras. Nosso espaço é uma tela para o crescimento e a transformação, um lugar onde os sonhos são nutridos e as realidades são moldadas.
À medida que continuamos a crescer e evoluir, nos encontramos necessitando de almas apaixonadas como a sua para se juntar à nossa jornada. Você está intrigado? Deixe-me compartilhar o que o aguarda.
Nosso projeto está enraizado na permacultura, práticas sustentáveis e uma conexão profunda com a terra. Desde cuidar de exuberantes hortas até zelar por nossos queridos animais, cada tarefa carrega um sentido de propósito e realização. O caloroso abraço da comunidade aqui o envolverá e juntos, exploraremos as maravilhas do manejo florestal, bioconstrução e terapias holísticas. E não se preocupe, se você é novo nessas práticas, estamos mais do que dispostos a fornecer treinamento básico para nutrir suas habilidades.
Além das experiências enriquecedoras dentro do nosso santuário, a região circundante oferece um tesouro de beleza natural. Inúmeras cachoeiras, águas termais e pitorescas aldeias do povo Kaingang estão a apenas um passo de distância. A cidade de Ametista do Sul seduz com suas pedras de ametista e impressionantes cavernas transformadas em vinícolas e cervejarias.
Portanto, se você busca refúgio do caos da vida urbana e anseia por reconectar-se com a natureza, convidamos você a se juntar a nós. Aqui, o tempo flui tranquilamente e momentos de autodescoberta e reflexão o aguardam. Abrace esta oportunidade única de mergulhar em um refúgio cultural, aprender uns com os outros e criar memórias que durarão para sempre.
Tudo o que pedimos é o seu compromisso, respeito e disposição para participar e ajudar em nossos projetos em andamento. Seja para uma estadia de longo prazo ou uma oportunidade voluntária esporádica, sua presença será valorizada.
Venha, faça parte da nossa história e permita que façamos parte da sua. Juntos, criemos um mundo onde a vida sustentável, o crescimento pessoal e o espírito comunitário prosperem.
Com corações abertos e um caloroso abraço,

Before pandemy we used to have events like shammanic weekend, reiki degree, hipnosis, yoga class etc...Now we are more on the path of having people and interacting with them deeply in order to create a singular process for every volunteer we have, its very good to see people going home with a better perspective of the world and leaving us also with a deep understandment of other places and cultures.

Excentricidades culturais
Trabalhar com hortas e plantas
Trabalhar com árvores

Nós também trabalhamos com algumas medicinas da selva' como o rapé não estupro, pesquise no Google se você não.
Antes da pandemia, tínhamos eventos como fim de semana xamânico, grau de reiki, hipnose, aula de ioga, etc ... Agora estamos mais no caminho de ter pessoas e interagir com elas profundamente, a fim de criar um processo único para cada voluntário que temos, é muito bom ver as pessoas voltando para casa com uma perspectiva melhor do mundo e também possibilitando-nos termos uma nova perspectiva cultural que a mesma traz consigo.Help
We basically need help with the maintenance of the house and dogs, as well as the gardens and outdoor areas.
I have been working in the city, and it has been quite difficult to give the necessary attention to the space without volunteers, the tasks would be quite basic at first and according to the volunteer's interest and will we can include more complex activities and specific courses from those listed above.

Precisamos de ajuda basicamente na manutenção da casa e dos dogs, assim como dos jardins e das áreas externas.
Tenho trabalhado na cidade, e tem sido bastante dificultoso dar a atenção necessária ao espaço sem voluntários, as tarefas seriam bastante básicas a principio e conforme o interesse e vontade do voluntario podemos incluir atividades mais complexas e cursos específicos dos listados a cima.
