Eric wasn't the warmest person and I wouldn't say I liked his personality or way of communicating very much but with that being said, once I got used to it and kept dialogue in a teacher & listener dynamic, he's an incredibly knowledgeable person who has achieved things like few have and can teach you a lot. To see what he has accomplished and how he gives back to people by sharing this knowledge is quite mesmerizing! The place is stunning. The works we did while I was there weren't too hard and hours were very fair!

A agrofloresta é muito maior, mais bonita e mais diversa do que qualquer foto pode mostrar. É um espaço incrível feito com muita paciência e carinho pelo Eric e os diversos voluntários que passaram por lá, e fiquei muito feliz por poder contribuir um pouco com esse lugar maravilhoso. As três refeições diárias, preparadas pelo próprio Eric ou pela Ana, sua esposa, eram sempre deliciosas, e deu pra aprender muito a partir das histórias do Eric, que é realmente uma pessoa iluminada. Poder explorar a floresta livremente após o trabalho foi algo que eu já estou sentindo falta.

Uma experiência maravilhosa! Eric e sua família nos receberam com amor e carinho desde o primeiro momento, um lugar para aprender e se desconectar, no meio da natureza onde você aprende sobre a variedade de plantas e como cuidar delas, também tem água mineral em todo o lugar. Esperando para ver os resultados do novo estúdio de dança que está sendo construído, obrigado por todo o aprendizado y que el camino nos vuelva a juntar! 💗☀️

Minha experiência no Ecociclos foi transformadora. Fui recebida calorosamente por Eric, Ana Paula e Pedro, e aprendi muito sobre agricultura sustentável e fitoterápicos na prática. Auxiliei na construção civil no estúdio de dança e na preparação da terra, conectando-me profundamente com a natureza. Também me conectei com voluntários internacionais e com os quatro elementos, especialmente durante uma fogueira feita por Pedro. O trabalho de Eric impacta muitas vidas e fomos tratados como família. Saí cheia de esperança e desejo retornar em breve.

O que posso falar no curto espaço que tenho, é que saio daqui hoje com o sentimento de extremo aprendizado, não só sobre agrofloresta, que o Erick domina como ninguém, mas principalmente sobre a vida, não tem caracteres o suficiente para listar o tanto de coisa que levo dessa experiência, mas deixo meu inbox em aberto para quem quiser saber mais sobre. Então aproveitarei o espaço apenas para agradecer. Erick obrigada por todos os ensinamentos e refeições maravilhosas, Ana obrigada pela paciência, você é uma mulher muito forte e por quem eu desenvolvi muito respeito, até algum dia 🌻
