Hello beloved volunteers and welcome - Resort and Retreat Center within an ecological nature reserve !

A private nature reserve in the Atlantic Forest with 400 hectares of amazing nature with 4 streams, springs, waterfalls, green lawns, 9 kilometers of ecological walking trails.
In the center of the land you will find a small lake with a boat, a swimming pool for leisure hours and a small gym.
Inside the reserve we have established a healing center and a retreat center that hosts spiritual retreats throughout the year. The center hosts people who come for healing processes and groups of various types of yoga, meditation, body cleansing, personal development work and shamanic work.

We are Maya and Orion, the founders of Sanctuary. For twenty years we have been working with natural healing tools, personal development workshops and sacred medicines. Together with our 3 children, we initiated Eden Sanctuary as a home for our family and for spiritual and healing work combined with ecological and natural living.

So where do you come into the picture?
We need help with maintenance and development of various projects:
In the gardening field - care for gardens, and ecological paths and the establishment of a Permaculture project.
In the construction field - we will work with wood, construction and renovation. Polishing, painting and drawing. A combination of ecological and traditional construction.
Sometimes there is also work in marketing, media, and event production.

You give 4-5 hours a day, 5 days a week of Volunteering work.
You get very high quality accommodation. Food. And an amazing living experience in a magical place with an approach of spiritual development and healing.

We encourage volunteers to share their knowledge in lectures to the rest of the team and in classes such as yoga, sports, capoeira, etc.
In nature you can meet dozens of types of birds, owls, butterflies, giant lizards and monkeys.

Where is the reserve and how to get here?
We are located in the south of Brazil in the state of Santa Catarina, an hour's drive from the city of Florianópolis. It is very easy to reach us by Uber or by going to the nearest town, Paulo Lopes, and from there we will pick you up by car.

The details of volunteering and matching your talents and needs to the needs of the reserve will be done in a WhatsApp video call.
When you contact us, please be sure to include some information about yourself - what your interests are, previous experiences, relevant skills, what you hope to learn, etc. Thank you!
In the conversation we will explain the rules of the place and our way of life and work.
Much love
Maya and Oryon
