    Description

    We are a small community currently made up of two families, united by simple and meaningful values: friendship, honest exchanges, connection with the land, real food, presence, and lightness of being. Our doors are open to deep conversations, the laughter of children in the yard, and the joy of cultivating a more intentional life — together.

    The volunteer will be hosted at the casa, either staying in the mezzanine room (as shown in the photo) or camping in the backyard.

    Somos uma comunidade que atualmente é formada por duas famílias, unidas por valores simples e profundos: amizade, trocas verdadeiras, conexão com a terra, comida de verdade, presença e muita leveza. Aqui, as portas estão abertas para boas conversas, risadas com crianças correndo no quintal, e o prazer de cultivar uma vida com mais sentido — juntos.

    O voluntário será hospedado na casa, ficando no quarto mezanino (como mostrado na foto) ou acampando no quintal.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are a small community of two families living in connection, simplicity, and collaboration — and we love welcoming others into our daily lives with open hearts.

    In one home, you’ll meet Bruna, a yoga practitioner who loves animals and the ocean; André, a creative artist and woodworker who plays guitar and cooks delicious, nourishing meals; and little Violeta, a sweet 4-year-old who brings joy through her playfulness, presence, and love for books.

    Next door lives Bhavana, a meditator and spiritual seeker who brings depth to conversations and prepares heartfelt meals with care and intuition. Her partner, Zara, is deeply attuned to the rhythms of life — she plays the drum, radiates love for all beings, and is a guardian of birth. Currently pregnant, she is preparing to welcome a new soul into the world. Their son Nila, age 3, is pure presence and spontaneity — he loves cars, stories, and exploring the world with intensity and joy.

    Staying with us means living close to nature and engaging in a rich cultural exchange that includes:

    Music, yoga, meditation, and mindful living

    Heartfelt cooking and shared meals

    Time with children and family life

    Deep, authentic conversations

    A slower, intentional rhythm — guided by simplicity, presence, and joy

    We believe we all have something to teach and learn — through simple gestures, shared tasks, stories, or even silence.

    If this resonates with you, you’re warmly invited to join us in this meaningful exchange.

    Somos uma comunidade de duas famílias que vivem em conexão, simplicidade e colaboração — e adoramos acolher pessoas em nossas rotinas com o coração aberto.

    Em uma das casas, você vai conhecer a Bruna, praticante de yoga, amante dos animais e do mar; o André, artista e marceneiro criativo, entusiasta do violão e das comidas deliciosas e nutritivas; e a pequena Violeta, uma doçura de 4 anos que encanta com suas brincadeiras, presença e amor pelos livros.

    Na casa ao lado vive a Bhavana, meditadora, estudiosa da espiritualidade e das conversas profundas, que também prepara alimentos incríveis com muito carinho e intuição. Sua companheira, Zara, é conectada aos ritmos da vida — toca tambor, tem um amor imenso por todos os seres e é guardiã da chegada dos bebês. Atualmente grávida, está se preparando para receber um novo ser. O pequeno Nila, de 3 anos, é pura presença e espontaneidade: ama carros, histórias e explorar o mundo com intensidade e alegria.

    Estar conosco é viver perto da natureza e mergulhar em uma troca cultural rica, com:

    Música, yoga, meditação e uma vida mais consciente

    Culinária afetiva e refeições compartilhadas

    Convivência com crianças e a vida em família

    Conversas profundas e verdadeiras

    Um ritmo mais lento e intencional — guiado pela simplicidade, presença e alegria

    Acreditamos que todos têm algo a ensinar e a aprender — por meio de gestos simples, tarefas compartilhadas, histórias ou até mesmo do silêncio.

    Se isso ressoar com você, será muito bem-vindo(a) para viver essa troca conosco.
