The Experience

O nosso espaço está em meio à Mata Atlântica, onde estamos desenvolvendo um modo de vida mais sustentável, saudável, conectado a natureza. Começamos pela construção da nossa casa, que ainda precisa de finalizações e vamos dar início ao primeiro bangalô onde poderemos receber mais pessoas, e começar a desenvolver retiros e eventos ligados à permacultura e a sustentabilidade. Somos uma família amigável, Maysa (31), Giba (47) e Serena (3).

Es un lugar increíble. Cada día que viví lo disfrute al máximo. Son una familia hermosa Giba, Maysa y Serena. Me gusta resaltar que es un lugar muy sociable. Durante mi estadía conocí a muchos de sus amigos que venían a compartir con ellos, aprendí mucho sobre construcción, mejoré muchísimo mi portugués, experimenté mucha comida típica de Brasil. Conocí lugares bellísimos de la zona tanto playa como del pueblo. Es un lugar con mucha energía para conectar con uno mismo. Volvería mil veces a elegirlos y tengo la certeza que es un lugar al que voy a volver como un amigo <3

Minha experiência no projeto foi curta ma muito boa. Eu fiquei só 10 dias e gostaria de ter ficado mais. A gente se deu muito bem com as tarefas de construção, foi divertido e aprendi muito sobre. O Gibá é a Maysa são gente boa, gostei muito de conhecer eles. A casa é linnnda e acordar com o canto dos passarinhos não tem preço.

O projeto è um lugar incrível, cheio de energias boas è lindo de ver essa casa bio construída. Aqui todos dormem e acordam cedo, as paredes de barro não são isolantes sonoras, por conta disso respeitar esses horários são importantes. Serena è uma menina inteligente , cheia de energia, curiosa, e divertida… como toda criança ela tbm precisa de atenção e amor então algumas dicas: ela ama pegar tomates e comer eles também, ela adora artes e dançar então nem se fala… Giba e Maysa muito mais que hosts viram meus amigos aprendi muito com eles e tenho certeza que virei aqui muitas vezes ainda

Voluntariar no the project foi incrível, a Maysa e o Giba são anfitriões maravilhosos, sempre preocupados com nosso bem estar, diálogo aberto e flexibilidade em horários. A Serena é uma criança preciosa e tranquila. Tivemos a oportunidade de dormir em um quarto super confortável e todos os dias havia a possibilidade de pegar carona com a família até a cidade/centro. Trabalhamos na biconstrução do quarto dos voluntários, utilizando técnicas de bambu a pique, taipa de pilão e esterilhas. A alimentação ofertada era super saudável, com frutas, raízes e muitos frutos da grande horta que eles tem.
