Madre Hija

Our site is located in the heart of the Mata Atlântica forest. Our main spiritual practice is Temaskal, a ceremony to reconnect with the womb of Mother Earth. In addition, we offer as part of the experience for volunteers who feel open to other integrative therapies such as Ayahuasca, Rapé and Sananga. We live holistically in this sacred space.

If you are looking to reconnect with your inner nature through an immersive experience, this opportunity is perfect for you.

Regarding our experience here, we base it on the triad of body, mind, and spirit in balance.
Body: care for the Earth and natural nutrition
Mind: practices of silence for greater reconnection
Spirit: practices of meditation and purification through Temaskal

The aim is to look inside, not outside!

Hello, my name is Carol Ruiz, my heart and my roots have been on this property for more than 10 years. I am in the health field and in the last decade I have deepened my studies and experiences in ancestral therapies. I feel my calling is to share and guide people in this healing process, mainly through Temaskal.

We are expanding the work at the Madre Hija site and with that we saw the need for more people to extend our projects.

Currently our main demands are: construction, maintenance, garden, cleaning, organization, among others.

As for our routine, we usually start in the morning with breakfast preparation, earth care tasks and/or social media demands, we take a lunch break, in the afternoon we are free for personal demands, at sunset we meditate and perform spiritual rituals, and at the end of the day we gather for meals.

Here in our environment we have lodging for volunteers and we also have a camping area.

Here we are combining sustainability, non-destructive techniques with nature and taking care to preserve it even more! The most pleasant thing is to present people with something we have made with our own hands; yes, here we are committed to helping carry out every detail of the space with a lot of care.

I highly recommend volunteering with Carol from Madre e Hija; not only will you learn a lot about sustainability, but you’ll be immersed in both the local culture and the nature of Piedade. If you enjoy being in contact with nature, farms, and being outside of big cities, in addition to wanting to practice languages, this volunteering is for you :)

I highly recommend volunteering with Carol, she's not only a great host, but very committed to what WP community is. She's so kind and she's always talking care of volunteers, and let you choose what activities and what kind of meals do you like. Also, if you are looking for learning or improving your Portuguese or Spanish this is the place! Carol is fluent in both! The place is full of nature, there are birds and other animals, and also you can learn about ancient medicine knowledge and ecological practices. If you enjoy being in nature outside big cities this opportunity!💚💚

Nuestra experiencia en the farm fue muy bonita🥰. Carol es una persona muy amorosa y amable que siempre nos hizo sentir acogidos. Las tareas que realizamos fueron bellas, porque, al estar siempre en contacto con la naturaleza, el proceso se disfruta. A su vez, con Carol tuvimos algunas experiencias espirituales enriquecedoras. Estamos muy contentos de nuestra experiencia, 100% recomendado

Hola. Estuvimos con Carol en un ambiente muy paradisíaco. De relajarse y vivir. Trabajar a tu propio ritmo, sin los afanes de la ciudad. Nos recibió con amor en nuestro primer voluntariado y la verdad es que ya no nos queríamos ir. Disfrutamos mucho de su conocimiento en medicinas ancestrales. Volveríamos muchas veces más.

Carol fue muy amable al recogerme. La casa, la cocina al aire libre, la casa de voluntarios, es todo amplio y bonito. La finca es inmensa. Pradera, árboles de mangos, paltas, plataneras, cítricos, etc..., árboles y arbustos con bellas flores de todo tipo. Piscina!!!!.... Me sentí atrapada en la limpieza y preparación de la primera zona encomendada a mi cuidado. Me sentí en mi medio, disfruté mucho y trabajé muy agusto. Las terapias de Carol, relajantes. Por supuesto ven a conocer la granja-la granja, la calma y el silencio te esperan. Gracias Carol por dos semanas, de trabajo personal.
