Description
We are a beatiful community located near one of Brazil's biggest cities, Salvador. Surrounded by the Atlantic Forest, here you can get in touch with Nature. Our community was created over 30 years ago by a group of women. We honour and treat the elders and the feminine with utmost respect and care.
We are a vibrant and lively community, with events, gatherings, celebrations and many other activities. Living here is daily being reminded of the dream of a life where humans and nature can be fully integrated.
We are a NGO and we're able to offer lodging in individual room and lunch. For other meals we have a collective kitchen but the volunteers must be able to afford and prepare them by themselves.Types of help and learning opportunities

Our voluuntering program is focused on maintenance of the community life, focused on two specific things: kitchen work and cleaning of spaces. There is ample possibility for other talents and passions to be explored, but those are the two main pillars of the volunteer work.
We have a weekly routine where each day we focus on specific spaces, including: collective house and kitchen; temples to the 4 elements; edible gardens; herbs gardens.Languages spoken
