ComUna Floresta

We are a project in constant development, always in the process of building, learning, and improvement.
Currently, we are located in a seaside campsite in the city of Paraty, more precisely in Paraty-Mirim — a paradisiacal beach surrounded by natural beauty, where the Atlantic Forest meets the sea, creating a setting of deep connection with nature.
Community life, permaculture and ecotourism are the pillars that sustain our project, integrated with a proposal of self-knowledge and personal growth.
We believe that the act of serving, combined with communal living, is a powerful path of transformation that leads us to self-knowledge and development as human beings.
It is from this understanding that we open our doors to cocreate, share, learn and teach about our lifestyle, alongside people who walk in harmony with this same purpose.

Within our structure we organize ourselves by pillars that relate to the sustenance and harmonization of the spaces and guide us in our collective dynamics.
They are:
Community center - (food, kitchen and common space)

Harmonization of the Kitchen and common space, in this pillar we work on the cleaning and organization of these spaces, which includes waste disposal, for example.
Food, processing of foods, which includes organization, lists, reuse and preparation of meals

Structure maintenance

In this pillar we develop the works within bioconstruction, as well as the maintenance of existing spaces or the development of new structures

Agroforestry
Here we deal with everything that involves the environment in which we live (nature) and our relationship with it, such as collection, planting, disposal (composting and recycling), maintenance of the dry toilet, tracking of spaces, etc..

Ecotourism
Ecotourism is one of the ways to raise funds for our project. We offer some experiences of boat, kayak and Hawaiian canoe. The activities linked to this pillar involve equipment maintenance and support in conducting groups.

Care for our children
Caring for and raising children are responsibilities shared by the entire community. Within this pillar, we offer attention, presence and respect for the needs of these developing beings, ensuring a safe, affectionate and conscious environment for their growth.

Extremely grateful to the community. Bethania and Ananda are amazing hosts, always concerned with the volunteers' well-being. Clear about what needs to be done and always respecting what was agreed. The tasks range from cleaning and harmonizing the common spaces, through agroforestry and construction mainly with bamboo. Incredible food (carnivorous, vegetarian and vegan) according to people's needs. One manages to connect as a family with the resident volunteers, which makes it very hard to leave; in fact, I stayed well over two weeks! Thanks!

My experience in the community was incredible. I connected in an intense and real way with the people who live there and volunteer there, with the surrounding nature and with myself! The community vibrates with positive connections, with permaculture practices and a lot of interpersonal exchange! Gratitude!

I loved the time I spent at the community. The hosts were very kind and welcoming, making me feel very at ease, even when I was worried about the rain. The place is incredibly beautiful, looking like a small resort, and Paraty Mirim is the best place in Paraty. The food was delicious and abundant; the work was fun, and I could use my body and learn a lot. Thank you very much; this experience at the community was my favorite part of the trip to Brazil. All the best!
