Program Details

We value collaboration, respect, and connection with nature. We expect our volunteers to be proactive, responsible, and genuinely interested in learning about sustainable living. Your main tasks will involve helping in our organic garden — planting, harvesting, watering — and supporting the kitchen team in preparing meals that use what we grow. Keeping the spaces clean, organized, and harmonious is part of the experience.

In return, you’ll live surrounded by the Atlantic Forest, share knowledge with a small, passionate team, and enjoy homemade food made with ingredients you helped cultivate. You’ll have time to explore our forest trails, rivers, and natural pools. We provide comfortable accommodation, good food, and a calm atmosphere that inspires learning, creativity, and connection with yourself and others.
