Lidia, Igor y Mariña son anfitriones excepcionales! El trato fue espectacular y la conciencia sobre la sostenibilidad no tiene comparación. La verdad que lo recomiendo en gran medida. Se aprende de todo y eso que realice sólo una semana por cuestiones personales y aún así me llevé muchísimas cosas de un universo de cosas por aprender en la comunidad 😊

Minha experiência não poderia ter sido melhor, Igor, Varinia e Lídia, fizeram tudo para que minha estadia fosse a mais tranquila possível, pessoas incríveis é extraordinárias e eles tem muito a ensinar, o quarto onde fiquei era muito bom, cama quentinha e tudo muito limpo, as atividades eram pesadas mas bem administradas para que fosse feito de uma maneira prazerosa, a fazenda é incrível um espaço gigantesco e cheio de animais para se ter contato, cachorros, ovelhas, galinhas, cavalos, gansos, etc… Muchas Gracias a comunidade ❤️❤️

La comunidad fue un lugar de desarrollo atraves del amor, cuidado y trabajo en colectividad. Un hogar hermoso donde se vive como lo denominan, a traves del biocentrismo. Disfrute cada día, cada ser con el que co-habite, cada charla e instante compartido es una oportunidad de aprendizaje. Una gran referencia del equilibrio de mente, espíritu y corazón. Viví en dicha con la comida deliciosa 😋 que lidia preparo, con el conocimiento que Igor compartía en cada misión que hacia con ingenió, con Variña que siempre transmitía confianza en el andar de cada ser que vive (planta, animal o humano) ❤

The community foi uma vivência incrível e cheia de significado. Igor, Varinia e Lídia nos acolheram com muito carinho e nos incluíram no dia a dia deles. Aprendemos sobre a conexão com a natureza e a cultura local. As tarefas são bem tranquilas, sempre respeitando os limites individuais. Acomida da Lídia é maravilhosa! O Igor compartilha saberes com generosidade e Varinia é um doce. Nos sentimos em casa. Saímos de lá com o coração cheio e uma nova família. Pretendo voltar para visita-los. O lugar é incrível
