Description
My name is Marnene, and together with my husband, Luis Sergio, we have been the guardians of this space for the past five years.
Our space is nestled in the lush nature of Cavalcante, right in the heart of Chapada dos Veadeiros 🌄. Here, we welcome people who are committed to ecological practices, who wish to live more consciously and contribute their skills in alignment with the principles of sustainability ♻️.
We are guided by a regenerative purpose of reconnection with the Earth 🌱, while encouraging personal, spiritual, and professional growth and care.
Our space is surrounded by beautiful landscapes, waterfalls, and hiking trails.
Renata also lives here with us — she recently moved into one of our chalets and has been helping us care for the space. We also have a staff member who come on some weekdays to help out. We have several exciting projects about to begin.
We welcome people from all over through our conscious accommodations, as well as through experiences and retreats.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
If you enjoy being close to nature and living simply, this might be the place for you. We’re located in a beautiful natural setting surrounded by many trails and waterfalls in the surrounding area. Within our space, there’s a small creek and little paths that invite connection with nature.
Here, we live in harmony with nature: I’m Marnene, guardian of this place and a psychologist with a background in integrative psychology and ecopsychology; Luiz, a physician, social activist, and my life partner; and Renata, an engineer, land activist, and connected to the paths of awakening consciousness, who shares with us this way of living more consciously, regeneratively, and sustainably.
We love spending time together, sharing knowledge, experiences, food, and integrative practices. We also value quiet moments and our individuality.
I’m a psychologist and integrative psychotherapist. We’re in the process of starting activities related to meditation, self-knowledge, ecopsychology, and spirituality.
This place is in constant movement and expansion, opening up experiences in meditation, ecopsychology, spirituality, and reconnection with the Earth.
We warmly welcome people and volunteers who wish to contribute to the space, bringing new ideas, exchanges, and learning in this flow of regenerative co-creation.
Life here is about community. 🌱

Help
Come lend a hand, tasks are varied and depend on the needs of the project and your own skills, and may include:
🌿 Gardening and Cultivation
📷 Social Media Content Creation
🧹 Cleaning and organizing the spaces
🛠️ Light Repairs and Improvements
🧑🍳 Support with Daily Collaborative Tasks
🎨 Eco-Friendly Painting and Decoration
In our daily routine, we usually have lunch together most days, except when life calls for a different rhythm — on those days, everyone can prepare their own meal.
We provide the food for lunch, but we ask each person to take care of their own breakfast and dinner expenses and preparation.
On some days, we also share dinner together, enjoying soups and other simple meals cooked over the fire.
Languages
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Spanish: BeginnerThis host offers a language exchange
I, Marnene, don’t speak English very well, but my husband, Luis Sergio, and Renata do. We would love to welcome people from around the world and enjoy this rich exchange of cultures and languages.
Accommodation
We offer accommodation in a shared room. If it happen to host an event, we might need to use that room. In that case, we’ll do our best to arrange a temporary room for you for sure.
What else ...
We are located 2 km from town. You can easily walk or catch a ride into town or to waterfalls.
Our lunches are shared meals with us and volunteers, and we kindly ask for help with either preparing or cleaning up afterward — every bit of help is appreciated. If, for any reason, we’re unable to cook together, everyone is welcome to prepare their own meals.
This is a space for hosting and shared experiences, but it is also a place of deep introspection and quiet. There is very little movement of people here, the rhythm is slow, and nature is your main companion.
Because of that, it’s important that you feel comfortable spending time alone, connected to the environment and to yourself.
It’s also essential to be at ease with the animals that live in the area — since we are surrounded by nature, different creatures may appear, and part of the experience is welcoming this with calm and respect.
