Maintaining or creating Art Projects by Shankari

Brasil

1

Chegada marcada p/ domingo, mas me avisaram em cima da hora que só aceitavam voluntários segunda e terça até 11:30. Então teria que pagar estadia em outro local.O prédio era abandonado literalmente…banheiros sujos, mofo, poeira, roupa de cama imunda . A cama na varanda abert, sem energia. Reclamei e me deram um quarto que devia estar fechado a anos . O trabalho começou logo que cheguei, sem considerar se tinha cansaço do voo. Materiais em pessimas condições , além dos espinhos era perto demais da rede elétrica. Para usar a cozinha, tínhamos que comprar tudo água gás . Fui embora de manhã

Maybe this place and the work is just not for you. I am sorry for your experience and I wish you a peaceful journey ahead. It seems you are unable to appreciate the work and the place for what it truly is. We never pretended to be anything that we are not. Thank you for your time 🙏

From the very first moment I arrived at Shankari, I could feel the magic of this place. There is nothing else like it – it truly feels like a little piece of paradise. The hosts were so loving and welcoming, I felt at home straight away. The mosaic work was such a beautiful experience that allowed me to grow and express my creativity. I also enjoyed working in the garden, swimming in the river, and discovering the life of this sweet little village. But more than anything, I found a family here. Thank you, Shankari, for your kindness and for sharing so much with me. I hope to come back soon!

I volunteered at the project for two weeks. Tasks varied daily I did gardening, cleaning, and most memorably mosaic making with Shankari. Working with her was inspiring; her energy and story uplift everyone, and the mosaic-filled the project is beautiful. The 3h workday allowed to explore the nearby village, nature, and sea. A highlight was being invited to Shankari's birthday, which made me feel truly welcomed. The only downsides were cat pee odors in the rooms and one shared bathroom with no lock. The community atmosphere was very welcoming, and I felt comfortable and included there.

Staying at the project Artist Sanctiary was an experience I'll cherish for the rest of my life. I've never been to such an establishment filled with creativity, magic, and alchemy. Making beautiful art pieces and mosaics out of broken tiles, I really was able to apply these practices to my life. the project was an excellent role model, always sharing stories of her adventurous life and providing many lite lessons that made me think. I was able to create my own piece that I was able to take home and I am so happy with the outcome. A peaceful, minimalist, and slow life that l will never forget :)

My time at the project was great! Perfect for my first Worldpackers. I was there to take photographs of the jewellery and although that did not always work out I did not mind at all as doing the mosaic was creative and rewarding work. Shankai and her son (who helped manage the volunteers) were very interesting and welcoming people and the slow life in the village was beautiful.

I had a great experience here. The location and surroundings are stunning and if you love nature this is the place for you! Met so many locals and other travelers. This place is super peaceful. Shankari and the team are great to work with and very helpful, not only with tasks but also with any other guidance you need. Thank you🙏🏻

My stay at Shankari's was absolutely amazing. The people at Shankari were very welcoming. Meeting people from all around the was definitely my favourite part. I made some really good friends and shared some amazing memories with them that will be cherished forever @thesecertgroup. I would 100% recommend volunteering here, you'll learn so many life lessons and skills from the people. Thank you so much Shankari for everything, I can't wait to come back sometime soon. From Callen and Leah ❤️

Truly such an incredible experience. Shankari is an amazing inspirational woman. The spot is situated in such serene nature it's like a fairytale! Doing mosaic arts was so special and fun to get creative. The provided so much information for arrival it was very helpful. The only thing i would recommend to improve on was that the volunteer work itself was not what we agreed upon, we were confirmed to do content creation for the jewellery but when we got there we were told we weren't going to be doing that and had to fall in with other volunteer work. would love to return again, was amazing ✨
