Beschreibung
Olá, we are Ale and Tissy.
In 2019 we left São Paulo in search of something more. We found a special place, in the middle of the Mantiqueira mountains, in a small village in Monteiro Lobato, and started building our little piece of paradise: a permacultural yoga retreat center.
We fell in love with the amazing views, the civilization is distant, and we appreciate the silence. We've been planting a lot of native trees and gardens to bring back the biodiversity that belongs here. We love our community, our neighbors are mainly artists and organic farmers.
We love making things. Creating, drawing and building. We have been on this journey for 5 years almost non-stop. Our main goal is to materialize places where people can connect with themselves, others and with nature.
Throughout our projects we really connected with bioconstruction and building with wood. We've created two domes, one being a yoga hall, a COB house, small structures and we love doing green roofs.

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Throughout the last years we accumulated knowledge and experience on buildings (specially bioconstruction), maintenance and water systems.
Also restoring the land, planting trees, and food, identification of eatable plants. An ongoing challenge is to always test new preserving food techniques with our crops.
Arbeit
We will be focusing on COB small structures to host more volunteers. Little cozy rooms with a simple project that uses only materials that we already have (pallets and dirt from our own land). Bioconstruction is a lot of fun, and very empowering because we reconnect with the tradition of centuries of communities building their own houses. It will be extra special for the volunteers to build the house for the next volunteers.

Unterkunft
The volunteers are hosted at the same rooms that we host our retreat guests.
We provide rooms with amazing hot shower, a lot of personal space and also a stunning view of the mountains. It's a great place to connect, rest and restore.
Since we are in the mountains, the village is 40 minutes walking, the place is more suited for quiet and chilled activities such as reading, resting, writing and contemplating.
Was noch ...
Some important rules are that we have a veggie space and no alcohol or drugs of any kind are allowed in our land.
We are currently 2h15 away from São Paulo center, and 2h away from Guarulhos International Airport (GRU). It's easy to get an UBER directly to our farm (we have some good contacts that we recommend). Also, it's possible to come by bus, from the city of São José dos Campos to Monteiro Lobato center. From there you can take a taxi from the bus station of Monteiro Lobato depending on the time you arrive (20 min from our land), or if we're already there, we can give you a ride.
Our volunteers work for 5 hours per day, 5 days a week. We really like to start early to finish the working day by lunchtime.
We'll provide all ingredients for you to take care of your meals.
Let us know if you know good vegan recipes! :)
