Beschreibung
We are a French Brazilian family, building a center for relaxation, self-development, meditation, yoga, detox, Qi Gong.... and all kind of holistic methods on an island in Brazil, four hours away from Sao Paulo. We are creating a space to host spiritual retreats in the middle of the wild forest and mangrove that you can reach only in crossing the river with our own boat or canoes. We are also opening a little Montessori school in the small city next to our center. We have been long time travelers and went all around the world, now we decided to create roots and to bring all what we learnt and received through all our travels into one place. To create a place for an alternative international community to explore new ways of living, new ways of thinking and opening our mind to others realms of consciousness.
We are surrounded by the river where lives wild sweet water dolphins that you could meet almost everyday on kayak and phosphorescent plankton during the new moon night that shines like stars in the water.
We also have many animals with us: dog, cats, chickens, rabbits, birds, peacocks.... and would like to bring more of them here to create a true magical atmosphere.
We already build few alternative buildings: 3 yurts, 2 domes and collective dry toilets
