Farm life and art exchange in Pedra Bela, São Paulo, Brazil

  Descripción

  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.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  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.

  Ayuda

  The main house at Sítio Pedregulho is finished, and we have 3 bedrooms.
  We have a small Chalet that I rent through bnb.
  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 building our new Chalet, to keeping our vegetable garden and general gardens - so any skill or help is very welcome!
