Eu só tenho a agradecer por cada segundo que passei no projeto, esse foi o meu primeiro voluntariado e foi como um presente da vida, que eu não fazia ideia que precisava. Fui pra aprender sobre bioconstrução, mas a experiência sem dúvida alguma foi para além disso, e foi transformadora!! Gratidão demais à toda equipe (incluindo os de 4 patas), aos voluntários que pude conhecer, vocês fizeram o dia a dia ser muito especial 🥹🩵🙏🏻 E em breve estarei de volta!!

Se tiver a oportunidade de ter uma experiência lá, separe pelo menos 2 semanas para ficar nesse lugar incrível! Os anfitriões e toda a equipe me receberam de braços abertos. Lá não existe acepção de pessoas, é um lugar onde todos se ajudam Victor e Taís estão sempre à disposição para conversar. Dias de quarta sempre tem um espaço seguro para expressar nosso sentimento e estudar um pouco de CNV. As atividades do dia a dia são tranquilas, e tudo muito bem organizado, sempre mantendo uma boa comunicação. Foi os melhores 48 dias da minha vida, me senti em casa, com certeza irei voltar um dia!

A Vila foi minha primeira experiência com voluntariado e atendeu todas as minhas expectativas! Consegui aprender bastante sobre a bioconstrução que era o foco da minha viagem e também aprendi a viver coletivamente com as pessoas e a natureza. O lugar e o pessoal são todos muito queridos e prestativos me fizeram sentir a vontade e livre pra interagir nas atividades propostas além de ser um ótimo espaço tanto pra introspecção como para se conectar com várias pessoas. O projeto deles é incrível e fico muito feliz de fazer parte dessa história, espero voltar algum dia e ver a evolução da vila!

I had a wonderful time at the Vila ! Victor and Tais , but also the team are really nice. They speak English very well so it's easy to have a real conversation. The tasks weren't difficult at all, even if you don't know how to do it, they will always explain it to you ! I felt really confortable there, everything is so well organised , it's one of the thing I most appreciate. Thank you so much for everything you've done for us 😁

This was an incredible experience even in the Brazilian winter (that isn't really one). Victor and the whole team are so nice and understanding, they made me feel very confortable. I liked the fact that everything was organised and clear, they were no surprises. I did many different things and learn't so much, I was never bored. This week really allowed me to reconnect with nature and empty my mind. Thank you for everything, I will never forget this experience.

Breakfast and lunch are prepared and enjoyed together, while dinner is flexible for individual or collective cooking. Meals nourish both body and environment with intention and care, prepared without the use of animal products or processed foods (however, you are welcome to bring your own non-vegan or processed options if desired.)
Orientation à l'arrivée
Travelers can arrive via São Paulo’s GRU Airport and take a train to the local bus station, followed by a short bus ride that stops 2 km from the project. Pick-up from the final stop is included, and direct pick-up from the airport can also be arranged in advance for an extra fee. The traveler will recognize the driver by a marked sign, and the journey continues straight to the ecological center. A short orientation upon arrival helps everyone settle in and connect with the group’s purpose.
Worry not: we will provide you with specific directions and transportation advice on your Program Guide so you can get to the project without a hustle!

À propos de la destination
Located in the lush region of Piedade, in São Paulo state, this destination is surrounded by preserved Atlantic Forest, rivers, and small rural communities rooted in traditional Brazilian culture. The area offers hiking trails, waterfalls, and organic farms, making it a haven for those seeking peace, reflection, and reconnection with the earth. It’s the perfect backdrop for travelers eager to slow down and live in harmony with nature.
Sorocaba is the closest large city 40km (50min) away and São Paulo is 100km away (1h50). With a population of over 12 million people and the largest international airport in South America, São Paulo is the world's 5th largest city, where you can find everything you can imagine. With that in mind, our place is also a nature sanctuary just a couple of hours away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis.
Impact & Objectif
This project is much more than just a space; it's a dedicated mission to environmental preservation and community awareness. Volunteers are the heartbeat of this project, fueling it with their energy, refreshing spirit, and transformative force. Since 2019, we've cherished the opportunity to learn from these human connections, finding that the overwhelming majority have brought beautiful and transformative experiences. Beyond the direct and indirect impact of our activities on community preservation and awareness, volunteers contribute to other projects during their stay. They renew hope within the local community, demonstrating the goodwill and commitment of individuals worldwide to creating positive change.
