  • Description

    Description

    This space has been developing its work for 25 years. Throughout this period, it has hosted retreats, courses, workshops, and immersions that have transformed the space into a vibrant hub for the exchange of knowledge, holistic care, and awakening of consciousness. More than 6,000 people have already passed through here, experiencing holistic practices, deep contact with nature, and experiences of reconnection with themselves, with others, and with the Earth.

    This is an oasis where people reconnect with purpose, cultivating personal and collective growth, while putting into practice new ways of well-being, with more simplicity, presence, and respect for natural cycles. We are not a fixed community. We are a space in motion, which shelters processes, encounters, and experiments with more integrated ways of life.

    Currently, we are implementing an agroforestry and medicinal plant cultivation project, focusing on soil regeneration, water care, and strengthening local biodiversity. We welcome volunteers who already have some experience in agroforestry, gardening, or land management, and who bring a genuine purpose to experience a natural and simple life, with a spirit of collaboration, mutual learning, and care for the common space.

    If you feel called to learn from the land, contribute to an expanding project, and live days more connected to what is essential, this could be the place for you.

    Este espaço desenvolve seu trabalho há 25 anos. Ao longo desse período, acolheu retiros, cursos, workshops e imersões que transformaram o espaço em um polo vivo de troca de saberes, cuidado integral e despertar da consciência. Mais de 6.000 pessoas já passaram por aqui, vivenciando práticas holísticas, contato profundo com a natureza e experiências de reconexão consigo, com o outro e com a Terra.

    Este é um oásis onde pessoas se reencontram em propósito, cultivando o crescimento pessoal e coletivo, enquanto colocamos em prática novas formas de bem viver, com mais simplicidade, presença e respeito aos ciclos naturais. Não somos uma comunidade fixa. Somos um espaço em movimento, que abriga processos, encontros e experimentações de modos de vida mais integrados.

    Atualmente, estamos implantando um projeto de agrofloresta e cultivo de plantas medicinais, com foco em regeneração do solo, cuidado com a água e fortalecimento da biodiversidade local. Recebemos voluntários que já tenham alguma experiência em agrofloresta, jardinagem ou manejo da terra, e que tragam um propósito genuíno de vivenciar a vida natural e simples, com espírito de colaboração, aprendizado mútuo e cuidado com o espaço comum.

    Se você sente o chamado para aprender com a terra, contribuir com um projeto em expansão e viver dias mais conectados ao essencial, este pode ser o seu lugar.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Life on the farm is a synergistic project that fosters engagement, the exchange of knowledge, and the convergence of ideas and ideals, benefiting everyone involved in the shared purpose.

    When individual purpose is aligned with the collective vision, along with commitment and clear expectations, harmonious and sustainable solutions naturally emerge for the overall project. We seek people who encourage one another to be their best and to take on a meaningful role in building a self-sustainable way of life.

    Outside of volunteering hours, volunteers are welcome to enjoy experiences of connection with nature, such as hiking trails, waterfall swims, sunset watching, campfires, meditation, mantras, and other mindful activities.

    Free time is managed by the volunteers themselves, as well as the organization of playful and therapeutic activities, respecting each person’s rhythm and the collective harmony of the group.

    A vida na fazenda é um projeto sinérgico que promove engajamento, troca de saberes e a convergência de ideias e ideais, beneficiando todas as pessoas envolvidas na causa.

    O propósito individual, quando somado ao coletivo, junto ao comprometimento e ao alinhamento de expectativas, cria soluções mais harmoniosas e sustentáveis para o projeto como um todo. Buscamos pessoas que se apoiem mutuamente para expressar o melhor de si e ocupar um papel significativo na construção de um modo de vida autossustentável.

    Após o período de voluntariado, os voluntários podem vivenciar experiências de conexão com a natureza, como trilhas, banhos de cachoeira, contemplação do pôr do sol, fogueiras, práticas de meditação, mantras, entre outras atividades.

    O tempo livre é organizado pelos próprios voluntários, assim como as vivências lúdicas e terapêuticas, respeitando o ritmo individual e a convivência coletiva.

    The program aims to preserve and expand sustainable projects that integrate care for the land with ecological awareness, such as agroforestry, organic gardening, and the cultivation of medicinal plants.

    Volunteers are invited to support the maintenance of the organic garden, including soil preparation, planting, and weeding, as well as the implementation of syntropic agriculture practices. The activities also include general farm maintenance, such as cleaning and conserving the houses, caring for the gardens by watering plants and mowing the grass, and helping to keep the guesthouse organized. Volunteers cook for themselves and share in the daily care of the space, cultivating an atmosphere of cooperation, simplicity, and mindful presence.
