We are a family-run rural project based in a former Benedictine monastery in the Serra da Mantiqueira. Today it is not a religious institution, but a space for simple living, ecology and community. Volunteers contribute to farm work, maintenance and daily tasks, including kitchen support during events. The routine is structured, with shared responsibilities, simple accommodation and vegetarian meals.

Living there, even if only a little, at the center was an incredibly rewarding experience in every way! I learned about a variety of topics and formed connections that I will carry with me for life; I wholeheartedly thank Samanta for all the warmth and care, I hope to return soon. The space is amazing and there's a waterfall nearby, many little animals, trees, nature overflows and that makes you feel at home. Only gratitude and lots of light ✨

We were very warmly welcomed by Samanta and Gui. The place is simply breathtaking, with a view of the valley that looks like it came from a postcard: a true refuge of peace, far from the bustle of daily life.
The days are busy and varied: gardening, cooking, and we even participated in the construction of a staircase!
Each activity brought something new to learn, and time flew by.
I recommend this experience for anyone seeking a connection with nature, teamwork, and genuine moments of exchange. Thank you!

This was our first experience as volunteers and, without a doubt, it was the best way to begin this journey. The Center is a magical place; its location amid nature makes it perfect and imbued with a unique energy. We can only express our deepest gratitude to Samanta, Marcelo and Gi. Each of them, with their unique personality, shared knowledge that will be kept forever in our hearts. We already miss you and the place 💗

Romina is kind, friendly and always ready to help in the best way. She supported me a lot at the 1st event of Super Saúde. She made me feel calm and safe. An exemplary yogi. Gratitude Romina and Martin, you are amazing and I really wish to meet you again. Hugs Samanta

The center was very important to me. It is a place with a lot of peace, ideal for reconnecting with oneself, great for doing meditation, yoga and being in contact with nature. Samanta is a lovely person, I am very grateful to have met her. From the beginning, she cared about my routines and schedules, and we managed to establish a good exchange in volunteering. The tasks were varied, according to what the center needed, but they were very calm. The food was also delicious; together with Marcelo, I learned a lot about Minas cuisine. I am grateful for the opportunity to have stayed there :)

Dai is a dear, committed person, willing to help at all times. Proactive and disciplined, she is certainly missed wherever she goes. Unfortunately I missed the deadline to evaluate her due to recent events and demands here. But I hope she returns and that I can evaluate her as she deserves. Dai, I hope you are well and at peace. Miss you.
