Program Details
## 🌿 Volunteer Program – Chácara Kumbaya
The experience at Chácara Kumbaya goes far beyond lodging in exchange for work. Our aim is to create an environment of community, connection with nature, simplicity, and genuine exchange between people.
The volunteer will be part of the space's care and maintenance routine, contributing to keep the chácara a welcoming, harmonious and well-kept environment for all who pass through here.
Activities happen mainly outdoors and involve:
* care of gardens and lawns;
* support in general caretaking;
* care for animals;
* small maintenance and organization;
* assistance in the space's routines.
The routine is calm, but requires responsibility, commitment, and physical effort. We seek people who truly enjoy life in the midst of nature and understand the value of caring for a shared space.
Kumbaya is located in the Atlantic Forest, providing an experience of deceleration, silence, contact with the earth, and reconnection with the essential.
During the stay, the volunteer will have the opportunity to:
* experience rural tourism;
* learn about maintenance and the daily routine of a chácara;
* coexist with animals and nature;
* meet people and different cultures;
* enjoy an environment of peace, simplicity, and mindfulness.
More than technical skills, we value people with good energy, respect, collaboration, and a genuine willingness to participate in the experience.
Activities & Shift
The activities will be carried out from Monday to Friday, in the morning and/or afternoon, according to the needs of the chácara's routine and prior alignment with the volunteer.
The workload will be organized in a balanced way, respecting rest times and time for social interaction.
The main tasks include:
- caretaking and conservation of the space;
- care of animals;
- basic garden and lawn maintenance;
- organization of outdoor areas;
- assistance with small maintenance routines and general care of the chácara.
A large part of the activities takes place outdoors, in direct contact with nature, making physical fitness, responsibility and commitment to the proposed routine important.
Rules
Holistic shamanic space; no alcoholic beverages or illicit drugs are allowed.
