Description
We are a beatiful community located near one of Brazil's biggest cities, Salvador. Surrounded by the Atlantic Forest, here you can get in touch with Nature. Our community was created over 30 years ago by a group of women. We honour and treat the elders and the feminine with utmost respect and care.
Living here is daily being reminded of the dream of a life where humans and nature can be fully integrated. We are a mature and silent space where one can find the time to search themselves, their goals and calling. We have a spirituality connected to Nature and welcome the work of volunteers who want to support taking care of this sacred house.
We are a Foundation that lives off of donations from kind people from all around the world; we're able to offer lodging in individual room and lunch. For other meals we have a collective kitchen but the volunteers must be able to afford and prepare them by themselves.
P.S.: The support we need in the community is directly related to the maintenance of the space: cleaning, cooking, washing, wtc.. There's space for hollistic therapies to be practiced but we're not looking for this for the volunteer vacancies.

We have a weekly routine where each day we focus on specific spaces, including: collective house and kitchen; temples to the 4 elements; edible gardens; herbs gardens. Volunteers are encourage to pursue their interests amongst the communities medicines outside of their helping hours.
