Building the ComUnafloresta

Poland

5

My experience at Comuna Floresta was amazing. This experience has not much in common with actual work, but mostly with sharing time, days, meals and exchanging knowledge with each person there. Ananda and other volunteers made it feel like home. He also took me on many boat trips with tourist where I would assist him. He also shared a lot of knowledge about permaculture and eco tourism. Sometimes children of one of the volunteer would come and visit which made it even more wholesome as there are so adorable. Playing with them and sharing the time all together made it feel like a family.

For great adventures around Paraty Ananda is the man! He introduced me to great people, took me to collect rare berries and we rowed through the only tropic Fjord in the world. We had some heavy rains that took out the power and the accomodation was basic and a work in progress but it was a great experience I recommend to anyone who wants to get the know the area and do cool tours and activities.

Ananda is really a great person with a very nice soul, is extremely kind and sharing. His idea to build an eco village in Paraty is a beautiful project and it really shows that is ready to da lot to make is dream of leaving in a more ecological way come true. He's a trip guide in Paraty and he gave me the opportunity to come with him to all the trip that he had organized, that was fantastic. The only thing is that when I applied to this experience I thought that I would stay in the eco villa of Paraty but it's not finished and I stayed at Ananda house. Except that it was a beautiful.

I came to Paraty mirim and wasn't provided with promised accomodation. The host offered me to stay at his friends' houses and I felt uncomfortable. The tours were included, but that's it

Was a beautiful experience. Connection with nature and learning about sustainability was really present and something that everyone should experience and learn from. There were few people in the community but we had quality time together. There are beautiful beaches, lakes and waterfalls to go to in the free time that are at easy reach. The hygiene from the tents could be a bit better, as in maybe take your own bedsheets or wash them before using them. Would totally recommend this experience to anyone !

It was a great experience I had at the community. I met amazing people from different places, I had a real connection with nature, I ate really good vegan food, the hosts are amazing too and are on hand for any help you need. I really recommend this experience to anyone who needs to reconnect with nature and themselves.

A ComUna é um lugar de imersão total e cumpre exatamente a proposta. Tem o que é realmente essencial. Nos dias que estive por la, o Ananda teve alguns compromissos pessoais e não tivemos oportunidade de trabalhar juntos. Mas é uma pessoa realmente incrível. A internet não funcionou enquanto fiquei por la e precisei sair antes do combinado pois dependo dela para trabalhar. Mas o Ananda foi incrível e me alocou durante as 2 semanas na casa dele, com todo carinho do mundo.

O Ananda é um ser espetacular, muito educado e sempre pronto a te ajudar com o que for! Ele nos disponibilizou a casa que estava alugando para trabalhar pois lá a internet era melhor. A comuna está crescendo, é um lugar grande e muito lindo, então precisa construir algumas estruturas mas só detalhes! Ela realmente entrega a proposta de imersão e viver no simples.

Foi meu primeiro voluntariado, e eu amei a experiência. Para quem está buscando uma vivência bem natureza, vai gostar muito. Dormi em uma barraca que o Anderson me disponibilizou, a poucos passos da praia. Fui muito bem recepcionado, e o Anderson também me levou para fazer passeios incríveis. Recomendo muito para quem quer viver um estilo de vida diferente da sociedade tradicional. Paraty tem muitos lugares lindos que valem, com certeza, a pena conhecer. A comuna e o projeto de agrofloresta têm um propósito incrível que o Anderson compartilha com a gente e nos faz ver a vida de outro ângulo.

Meus dias foram muito tranquilos. A região é muito linda. Tem uma magia especial. O anfitrião oferece passeios em barco, e, quando há lugar disponível, a gente pode fazer gratuitamente :) Ele é bem tranquilo e flexível com relação às tarefas. Eu aprendi muito sobre sustentabilidade, sobre como trabalhar com os ingredientes locais. Experiência positiva, de muito contato com a natureza!
