  Description

  (English)
  We are a family of 3 (Marina, Ronny and 4 year old Lume) experimenting with an alternative lifestyle at a very small traditional city in a countryside full of nature. We are also enthusiastic travellers and we love to discover new cultures through meeting people. We host friends all the time, in our starting farm. Here, we don't establish preset cohabitation rules, rather than believe in free interaction, based on mutual trust, lots of dialogue, taking care of the common rooms and respecting every person´s limits. In this way, we construct environments where love becomes inevitable. We are a child-centered family that holds play, affection and gentle parenting as core values.
  
  We need help keeping the house and our farm projects on a day to day basis. We have chores in yard keeping, house organising, general maintenance and children caring. We work with bioconstruction, permaculture, agroforestry / organic farm, small animals, holistic therapies, artsy hand-made projects, non violent comunication study groups, slow and functional food, and permaculture events.
  
  It will be a pleasure being able to share our space and our lives with you all! Call us!

  Somos uma família (Marina, Ronny e Lume, de 4 anos) experimentando um estilo de vida alternativo em uma cidade de interior pequena, tradicional e cheia de natureza. Também somos viajantes entusiasmados e amamos descobrir novas culturas conhecendo pessoas. Recebemos amigos o tempo todo em nosso novo Sítio. Aqui, não estabelecemos regras predefinidas de coabitação, mas acreditamos na livre interação, baseada na confiança mútua, muito diálogo, cuidado com os espaços comuns e respeito aos limites de cada pessoa. Dessa forma, construímos ambientes onde, inevitavelmente, o amor se manifesta. Somos uma família centrada na criança, que leva o brincar, o afeto e a parentalidade muito a sério :)
  
  Precisamos de ajuda para manter a casa e nossos projetos na fazenda no dia a dia. Temos tarefas de manutenção do quintal, organização da casa, manutenção geral e cuidados com a criança. Trabalhamos com bioconstrução, permacultura, agrofloresta/fazenda orgânica, pequenos animais, terapias holísticas, projetos artesanais artísticos, grupos de estudo de comunicação não violenta, alimentação lenta e funcional e eventos de hospedagem.
  
  Será um prazer poder compartilhar nosso espaço e nossas vidas com todos vocês! Escreva para nós!
