The Experience
Este programa é uma forma de integrarmos pessoas em busca da transição para a sustentabilidade, não se trata de um curso, mas garantimos um aprendizado profundo através da solução de questões básicas do dia-a-dia que um “Sítio de Permacultura Familiar” e Ecovilas vivenciam. É uma imersão de 6 a 8 hrs p/dia/5 dias p/semana, para conhecer na prática este tipo de vida, ter uma mudança de cenário ou ter uma idéia do que é ter o seu próprio sítio!

It's an incredible and tranquil place with amazing hosts, you can learn all aspects of permaculture from the bioconstruction, gardening and even natural soaps. Though there's not really a dinner and sometimes not even a bread.

I liked the general idea of the project, it inspired me a lot to continue studying similar topics of permacultura life. The people were lovely, everyone is more than a family. We had to stay for a few days:(but in general I like the focus of this project. Delicious vegetarian food. Sleeping facilities not so comfortable since there is no way to protect yourself from insects and there is a lot of humidity in the mattress. However, since it was our first experience, we liked it. only improve hygiene in the rooms and install insect screens. Envío un gran abrazo a los propietarios wilson&Eloína❤️
