The experience

Program Details

The initiative is now happening for 15 years, and there are a lot of small projects to take ownership. Some of the projects required are: beekeeping of native and apis bees, garden with medicinal plants, taking care of the nursery and food garden, bioconstructions that are being built, improve, manage and expand our agroforestry system, optimize our plant's garden, manage the life cycle process of the honey and cashew nut and all its byproducts, create strategic partnerships, support our program with local communities.

This place is being made to reflect what we believe it is a healthy life in community on this planet. We believe that the real and healthy human connection comes from the combination of a pure mind, body and spirit, so we have three little rules that we want to share with you. The three basic rules are: (1) always vibrate love, treat any being the way you would like to be treated; (2) in order to have a clear mind, we need clean and organized spaces; (3) for the purity of the body, mind and spirit, the possession of illicit substances for the Brazilian territory or the consumption of alcohol within the Institute's areas are both strictly prohibited.

The volunteer experience has a workload of 30 hours per week. Usually, the distribution of daily hours is from 7am to 12am, lunch from 12am to 2pm and returns from 2pm to 3pm. In this way, a 6-hour working day is completed, which continues during the 5 working days of the week. The weekends are free for everyone to rest and explore the region.

We understand that every individual is unique and sometimes there will be personal or professional issues to resolve. However, the organization of the volunteering program workload hours is thought to leave enough space during the day to deal with other matters.
