Casa gaia

Hi, thanks for visiting this proposal. I am a small meliponiculturist. Since I was a child I have related to bees, animals and plants; this was one of the reasons that led me to create this small project for the conservation of native bees (stingless) when I moved to Florianópolis. Currently it is my main activity. I am an eternal learner of nature and today my practical study is through the cultivation of aromatic plants and the distillation of their essential oil. The space is located in the south of the island near the famous Armação beach, a very quiet place, in the middle of nature. The little house is small and simple, but cozy and has everything you need for a good stay. Private room for volunteers, fully equipped and separated from the house, as well as an ecological toilet (dry). Hot shower and wifi. I would like to make clear that here this is not a hostel/camping, holistic center, Ecovilla nor a farm. Although the land is large, the occupied area is less than half. This is a private project that I currently run alone, with the help of friends and volunteers. Volunteers are asked not to consume meat, eggs, products of genetically modified origin as well as ultra-processed foods during the stay. In my free time I offer gong meditations (Tibetan instrument) and whenever possible I like to go on hikes.

My experience was very special. I chose to leave earlier than planned because I didn't always feel comfortable. I perceived Jiddu as a deep, rational, and direct person. Respecting the rules and the sense of efficiency seemed important to me. We have very different personal structures and sometimes the clashes cost me. Despite that, our exchanges have always been with respect and maturity. Jiddu has many dispositions to teach, both his activity and his way of being. I am grateful for everything I have learned by his side, even about myself ✨️🙏

Tive uma ótima experiência no sítio, mesmo sendo a única voluntária no momento. Jiddu foi muito prestativo, compreensivo e atencioso. Aprendi muito com ele, não só sobre nutrição saudável e meio ambiente, mas também sobre a vida em geral e até sobre mim mesma. De certa forma, ele foi como um mentor para mim. O lugar é incrível, cercado pela natureza e cheio de vida selvagem. Tive a chance de ver tucanos, macacos e muitos outros animais de perto. É um projeto ecológico muito especial, perfeito para quem quer se desconectar, aprender e se conectar com a natureza.

Se a conexão com a natureza é seu objetivo aqui é o lugar certo o espaço é incrível, limpo e organizado. E sempre tem animais ao redor saguis, cotias, lagartos!! A lagoa do peri fica no quintal da casa tem mercado e praia proximo, a casa tem várias regras de convivência então terá que segui-las se não quiser ser chamada(o)atenção. O ji tem um conhecimento amplo sobre plantas medicinais, alimentacao saudavel e sobre a vida. Saio daqui muito mais consciente sobre um pouco de tudo !!! Sou grata a tudo que aprendi aqui e levarei comigo todo conhecimento !!! gratidaoo ♡

El lugar es muy tranquilo, las tareas son sencillas, la habitación es muy agradable, hay animalitos por todas partes, uno aprende sobre el cuidado de la tierra y a tener una vida más saludable. Justo detrás hay un lago que es básicamente privado.
