Description
I am an artist (painter), art therapist and Alexander's Technique teacher. After finishing my doctorate degree in Fine Arts I fell in love with the Permaculture and Agroecology principles and took 3 years off to live in a farm and learn/ practice these principles.
Now that I have my own land I need help to work the land and to finish the house.
The idea is to have a place that intertwines land working and art working in the future.
Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are located at Serra da Mantiqueira, a beautiful mountan range on the border between São Paulo and Minas Gerais.
We practice the Permaculture principles and the Sintropic Agriculture farming principles as well.
The travellers will have a chance to learn about thse principles.
Also, the main house is my art studio ( I have been a painter for 30 years and hold a PhD in fine arts) and I am willing to show and talk about art with my guests.
Help
The main house at Sítio Pedregulho is finished, and we have 3 bedrooms.
We have two small Cabins that I rent through Airbnb.
My son Leo, that built the main house and the Chalet, lives in his small house on the rocks.
We need help with everything, from planning the land project, to keeping our vegetable garden and general gardens - so any skill or help is very welcome!

Accommodation
Private room / shared room/ camping at the main house, where I live.
The type of accomodation will depend on how many guests I have at the moment, but it will be discussed in advance with the workawayer.
I will provide basic vegetarian food and the meals will be prepared together. Any other costs for different foods will be shared.
If there is any special dietary need we can discuss it in advance
What else ...
We have waterfalls, hiking and bike trails in the area.
Public transportation is available but is scarce.
The nearest town (Toledo, MG) is 6km away.
