Description
It was a thriving community for 12 years, widely recognized across the region and in Brazil for its dynamic volunteer programs that drew people from near and far. After a three-year hiatus, we are excited to be starting fresh, bringing this beloved project back to life.
Located in the heart of the Atlantic rainforest, the community is surrounded by stunning natural beauty: an abundance of fruit trees, lush greenery, and the breathtaking Rio de Contas flowing nearby, with clear waters perfect for swimming and connecting with nature. This is an inspiring environment for those who love the rainforest, with its endless sounds, scents, and textures.
Our current focus is on restoring and enhancing our housing and shared spaces, and we are looking for skilled volunteers with experience in sustainable building, bio-construction, and renovation. Although our long-term vision includes reactivating our permaculture gardens and potentially chocolate production from our cacao orchards, for now, our priority is building solid, sustainable structures to support these future plans.
But beyond that, we also welcome those who can bring creative skills to share! Whether your talents lie in handcrafts, music, dance, painting, sculpture, or even storytelling and theater, you can help shape both the atmosphere and the community here. Art and culture have always been central to this place, and we’re excited to welcome those inspired to add their creativity to our project’s rebirth.
Accessible by boat from the vibrant surf town of Itacaré, Bahia, the heart of Brazilian Afro-culture, the community offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a meaningful project in a breathtaking natural setting. If you’re passionate about sustainable living and ready to join us in this inspiring phase of renewal, we welcome you to be part of this journey!
**************************************************
Foi uma comunidade próspera por 12 anos, amplamente reconhecida na região e no Brasil por seus programas de voluntariado dinâmicos, que atraíam pessoas de perto e de longe. Após uma pausa de três anos, estamos animados para recomeçar e dar nova vida a este projeto tão querido.
Localizada no coração da Mata Atlântica, a communidade está cercada por uma beleza natural deslumbrante: uma abundância de árvores frutíferas, vegetação exuberante e o magnífico Rio de Contas, com águas perfeitas para nadar e se conectar com a natureza. É um ambiente inspirador para quem ama a floresta, com seus sons, aromas e texturas únicos.
Nosso foco atual é restaurar e melhorar nossos espaços de convivência e moradia, e buscamos voluntários qualificados com experiência em construção sustentável, bioconstrução e renovação. Embora nossa visão a longo prazo inclua reativar os jardins de permacultura e, possivelmente, a produção de chocolate dos nossos cacaueiros, por enquanto nossa prioridade é construir e renovar estruturas sólidas e sustentáveis para apoiar esses planos futuros.
Mas, além disso, também recebemos de braços abertos aqueles que podem trazer habilidades criativas para compartilhar! Seja seu talento em artesanato, música, dança, pintura, escultura ou até mesmo contação de histórias e teatro, você pode ajudar a moldar a atmosfera e a comunidade aqui. Arte e cultura sempre foram parte central deste lugar, e estamos animados para receber aqueles que se inspiram em contribuir com sua criatividade para o renascimento do projeto.
Acessível por barco a partir da vibrante cidade de surf Itacaré, na Bahia, o coração da Afro-cultura brasileira, a commidade oferece uma oportunidade única de contribuir para um projeto significativo em um cenário natural de tirar o fôlego. Se você é apaixonado por vida sustentável e está pronto para se juntar a nós nesta inspiradora fase de renovação, seja bem-vindo!

Autres infos...
As a volunteer, you’ll receive accommodation, meals, internet, and transportation to/from town (a pick-up point under the bridge over Rio das Contas), all by boat. In exchange, you’ll contribute five hours a day to project work and help keep the shared living and kitchen areas tidy.
*IMPORTANT:* Organizing transport to and from our remote rainforest location and providing housing here requires a lot of resources. Please book your arrival only if you’re 100% sure you can make it, as last-minute cancellations cost us valuable time and resources and prevent others from joining.
**************************************************
Como voluntário, você receberá acomodação, refeições, internet e transporte de/para a cidade (ponto de embarque sob a ponte sobre o Rio das Contas), tudo de barco. Em troca, você contribuirá com 5 horas de trabalho por dia no projeto e ajudará a manter as áreas comuns de convivência e cozinha organizadas.
*IMPORTANTE:* Organizar o transporte para nossa comunidade remota na floresta e fornecer alojamento aqui exige muitos recursos. Por favor, só reserve sua chegada se tiver 100% de certeza de que poderá vir, pois cancelamentos de última hora nos custam tempo e recursos valiosos, além de impedir que outra pessoa que realmente poderia chegar no horário tenha a vaga.
