Minha experiência no sítio foi incrível. Aprendi, na prática, sobre permacultura e agroecologia e pude contribuir de verdade com a comunidade, além de viver momentos inesquecíveis nas horas vagas. Mesmo sem experiência na área, fui muito bem acolhida, todos tinham paciência para explicar as atividades e o propósito de cada uma delas, o que me permitiu aprender muito. no sítio, me senti em casa. Conheci cachoeiras, a comida foi maravilhosa todos os dias e a estrutura é excelente. Sou imensamente grata por essa oportunidade e recomendo a todos.

Eu amo tanto o sítio que já estive em outros momentos por lá e sempre parto com o desejo de voltar porque é um espaço acolhedor, de coletivo amoroso, alegre e de muita nutrição e aprendizados. Todos sempre muito receptivos e queridos, com as tarefas justas e bem distribuidas, com tempo de qualidade pra aproveitar a natureza ao redor. E com experiências e trocas tanto com pessoas de muitos lugares do mundo como com moradores locais. Pra quem está buscando uma imersão na cultura mineira, com boas doses de alegria, natureza e troca coletiva recomendo de olhos fechados! 🥰 e logo volto
