The Experience
Na cultura Kariri-Xocó, todos os integrantes desempenham papéis benéficos para a comunidade. Buscamos voluntários que queiram fazer parte dessa família e somar com seus talentos <3 Precisamos de ajuda para cultivar uma horta, bio-construir novas ocas e fazer manutenção/limpeza dos espaços. Estamos abertos a ensinar nossos costumes e saberes, mas também dispostos para aprender novas técnicas e conhecimentos!

It was an incredibly wonderful experience for me to spend the week with my family in the middle of nature. I had no network, no city nearby, no alcohol and no cigarettes, and I wanted for nothing. The family is very helpful and welcoming, they went out of their way to make me feel at home. Finally, I was able to take part in a ceremony and that was the crowning glory. I took everyone to my heart in no time at all. Many thanks to the Aldeia Tekoa. Bukuia!

This experience was not as described. There was no effort for us to work with nor learn about the land and its practices. The space seemed entirely dedicated to sacred medicine ceremonies, which we respect very much, however we weren't informed until we arrived. We felt a lot of pressure to participate. The host had an emergency and we were unable to meet them, which was likely the reason for the miscommunication and disorganization. We recommend asking about specific projects and tasks. 1 person may have been from the local community & rest were non-Native “volunteers”.

Mesmo passando pouco tempo na aldeia, me senti muito acolhida e conectada. Foi um banho de tranquilidade, amabilidade e principalmente a hospitalidade genuína dos moradores dali :) Gostei muito de como a carga horário foi gerenciada e respeitada. Além do trabalho ser interessante, tive tempo pra descansar e fazer várias outras coisas durante os dias. O contato com a natureza ao redor e as práticas ancestrais, desde o sustento até filosofias de vida mesmo, me fez refletir sobre muuuuitas coisas. Muito obrigada ao Cacique Paruanã e a todos da aldeia pelas lições e aprendizados!! Bukuyá 💛💛

Nossa experiência na aldeia foi impressionante! o Cacique Paruanã e toda a família sempre foram super gentis e tranquilos com a gente. É um modo de vida muito simples, então mergulhamos na cultura e no estilo de vida deles. Aprendemos a colher troncos, folhas e materiais para construir uma cozinha tradicional, provamos pratos típicos a comunidade... Na aldeia tem um rio que fica a 5 min de trilha, tomamos banho lá e tiramos um dia e uma noite para acampar na praia naturista de Massarandupió! Aprendemos muito sobre as medicinas da floresta e sobre o respeito com o próximo. BUCUYÁ!!!
