Description
Welcome to our centre dedicated to integrating traditional knowledge with modern technologies, fostering a harmonious relationship between humanity and nature. Located in southern Brazil, in a region rich in biodiversity, our space is a living example of environmental regeneration and preservation, social innovation, and sustainable practices.
Our History
Since 2013, we have transformed from abandoned land into a hub for cultural and regenerative gatherings. We have hosted over 80 people from 17 countries over the years, creating a vibrant community of volunteers and visitors who bring and take new perspectives and learnings.
However, recent storms have damaged part of our infrastructure, and we are now focused on rebuilding with resources from the land itself. The wood, stones, and soil we use come from our land, making the entire process a deeply rooted experience in sustainability and indigenous construction.
Our Purpose
Imagine a place where agroforestry, natural building, and sustainable technologies coexist, creating a model of sustainability and regeneration.
We aim to restore the connection between humans and their natural environment, integrating science and nature in every project.
We seek to provide educational opportunities through hands-on experiences and volunteering, with partnerships with local universities and researchers such as UFSM and URI. It’s exciting to merge empirical knowledge with the academic world and create innovative ways to interact with our surroundings.
We value community connection, creating spaces for exchanging ideas, experiences, and promoting collective well-being.
Our Current Activities
We are currently in a rebuilding process, repairing damage caused by recent storms and expanding our capacity to accommodate more people and projects. The construction is done with sustainable materials and natural building techniques. We are looking for volunteers willing to contribute to this effort, offering an immersive experience in a natural environment in return.
Our Future
Looking ahead, - is expanding as a research and innovation center, promoting partnerships with universities, schools, and individuals interested in learning about the local biome, agroecological systems, and the integration of ancestral and modern technologies. Our goal is to serve as a model for sustainable living and environmental regeneration.
Come Be a Part of It
Whether as a volunteer, researcher, or visitor, - is open to those seeking a unique experience of connection with nature and personal development. Together, we can continue building a more sustainable and conscious future.

Nossa História
Desde 2013, Sítio-passou de uma terra abandonada a um porto de encontros culturais e regenerativos. Recebemos mais de 80 pessoas de 17 países ao longo dos anos, criando uma comunidade vibrante de voluntários e visitantes, que trazem e levam consigo novas perspectivas e aprendizados.
Entretanto, recentes tempestades danificaram parte da nossa infraestrutura, e agora estamos focados na reconstrução com recursos naturais do próprio local. A madeira, as pedras e a terra que usamos são provenientes da nossa terra, o que torna todo o processo uma experiência profundamente enraizada na sustentabilidade e na construção autóctone.
Nosso Propósito
Imagine um local onde agrofloresta, bioconstrução e tecnologias sustentáveis coexistem, criando um modelo de sustentabilidade e regeneração.
Trabalhamos com a visão de restaurar a conexão entre o ser humano e seu ambiente natural, integrando ciência e natureza em cada projeto.
Estamos buscando oferecer oportunidades educacionais por meio de vivencias e voluntariados sobre temos algumas parcerias com universidades e pesquisadores locais também, como a UFSM e a URI, é muito legal poder unir conhecimentos empíricos ao meio acadêmico e gerando formas criativas de interagir com o mundo a nossa volta.
Valorizamos a conexão comunitária, criando espaços para a troca de ideias, experiências e promoção do bem-estar coletivo.
Nossas Atividades Atuais:
Estamos atualmente em um processo de reconstrução, reparando os danos causados por tempestades recentes e expandindo nossa capacidade para abrigar mais pessoas e projetos. A construção é feita com materiais sustentáveis e técnicas de bioconstrução. Buscamos voluntários dispostos a colaborar nesse esforço, oferecendo em troca uma experiência imersiva em um ambiente natural.
Nosso Futuro
Com um olhar no futuro, Sítio - se expande como um centro de pesquisa e inovação, promovendo parcerias com universidades, escolas e indivíduos interessados em aprender sobre o bioma local, sistemas agroecológicos e a integração de tecnologias ancestrais e modernas. Nosso objetivo é servir como um modelo de convivência sustentável e de regeneração ambiental.
Venha Fazer Parte

We basically need help with the maintenance of the house and dogs, as well as the gardens and outdoor areas.
I have been working in the city, and it has been quite difficult to give the necessary attention to the space without volunteers, the tasks would be quite basic at first and according to the volunteer's interest and will we can include more complex activities and specific courses from those listed above.
