Description
Our projects in the mountains of Serra da Mantiqueira is already running and there are a lot to develop yet! This place will be a center of learning and healing process trough natural therapies, arts and connection with nature. At the moment we are working at the structures (building and planting) and all help on these areas are welcome! It is not necessary to have previous experiences, only disposition and good health, as the work is phisicaly demanding!
On days-off there are beautiful places to visit: climbing mountains, trekking, waterfalls and all the wonderfull things of the local culture!
O projeto do Sítio Iananda, nas montanhas da Serra da Mantiqueira já nasceu e ainda há muito o que desenvolver! Estamos caminhando para que o sítio seja um espaço de vivências terapêuticas e de revitalização através do resgate do contato com a natureza, artes e terapias naturais. No momento estamos trabalhando nas estruturas físicas (bio-construções e plantações) e toda ajuda nessas áreas são bem vindas, sem que seja necessário nenhuma experiência prévia, apenas disposição e boa saúde, pois a demanda física é intensa!
Nas horas vagas tem bastante lugar bonito pra conhecer na região: escaladas, caminhadas, cachoeiras e tudo o que há de bom da cultura mineira!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travelers will learn about Cob building and see some parts of the house finished. The land is located in Serra da Mantiqueira, a touristic place in the midle of the moutains, with nice small cities, climbing practices and waterfalls.
Dentro das inúmeras e inesperadas trocas que podem surgir do convívio, voluntáries conhecerão o universo da bioconstrução, permacultura e irão compartilhar de um contato mais próximo da natureza.
Help
The help is basic with bioconstruction (building with mud) or planting and taking turns to prepare meals. Travellers don´t need to have previous experiences in building.
A ajuda é basicamente com bioconstrução (seja construindo estruturas ou ajudando nos acabamentos, como reboco e pintura.) Às vezes também precisamos de ajuda com as plantações. E na cozinha sempre há um revezamento no preparo das refeições.
