    Description

    We are a natural family from Paraty / RJ. I Grazzielle, having the Forestry Engineer as professional training and postgraduate in water resources management, with environmental consulting office in the city for years. My husband Zeca, an agricultural technician and boat owner, worked almost three years in Paraty as a tour boat master. Today, both committed to living with nature (with-live), we devote ourselves to rural life, with a small raising of goats and chickens. We produce cheese and milk, in addition to other organic products such as vegetables, sweets, jellies and glycerin soaps with goat's milk. Everything starting! this is a private property belonging to the Zeca family of more than 60 years. It has been dormant for almost twenty years and now we are taking care of the earth, developing sustainable family agriculture and tourism project. We are gradually renovating old buildings on the property to welcome tourists who are interested in rural life and natural therapies. Besides the professional training in the field of Forestry I also have training in Yoga, Reiki, Deeksha, as well as initiations as Guardian of Sacred Fire and Benzedeira. I am also an independent and independent scholar of spiritual sciences that contribute to human knowledge and development in an integral way, such as Anthroposophy and others. Throughout my journey, I discovered that it was not nature that needed care, but humankind. So I resolved to align the qualities offered by this Sacred Place and put all knowledge acquired with plants, therapies and spiritual sciences in the service of human balance, in order to contribute to the sustainable and harmonious development of life on Earth.

    Somos uma família natural de Paraty/RJ. Eu Grazzielle, tendo a Eng. Florestal como formação profissional e pós-graduada em gestão de recursos hídricos, com escritório de consultoria ambiental na cidade por anos. Meu marido Zeca, é técnico agrícola e dono de embarcação, trabalhou a quase trina anos em Paraty como mestre de barco de turismo. Hoje, ambos empenhados em viver com a natureza (com-viver), nos dedicamos à vida rural, com uma pequena criação de cabras e galinhas. Produzimos queijos e leite, além de outros produtos orgânicos como hortaliças, doces, geleias e sabonetes de glicerina com leite de cabra. Tudo começando! é uma propriedade particular que pertence a família de Zeca a mais de 60 anos. Ficou quase vinte anos adormecida e agora estamos retomando os cuidados com a terra, desenvolvendo projeto de agricultura familiar e turismo sustentáveis. Estamos aos poucos reformando construções antigas na propriedade para receber turistas que estejam interessados na vida rural e em terapias naturais. Além da formação profissional na área da Eng. Florestal também possuo formação de Yoga, Reiki, Deeksha, além de iniciações como Guardiã do Fogo Sagrado e Benzedeira. Também sou uma estudiosa autônoma e independente, de ciências espirituais que contribuem para o conhecimento e desenvolvimento humano de forma integral, como a Antroposofia e outras. Ao longo de minha jornada, descobri que não era a natureza que precisava de cuidados, mas a humanidade. Então resolvi alinhar as qualidades oferecidas por este Lugar Sagrado e colocar todo conhecimento adquirido com as plantas, terapias e ciências espirituais a serviço do equilíbrio humano, a fim de contribuir com o desenvolvimento sustentável e harmonioso da vida na Terra.
