Nestled among lush green hills, our home is an 18-hectare preserved paradise crossed by crystal-clear waters from the nearby Serra do Tabuleiro State Park. Surrounded by native forest, birdsong, open spaces, clean water, and starry skies, this is a place full of possibilities. Help us transform different corners into gardens, gathering spaces, children’s adventure areas, and new projects while connecting deeply with nature. ✨🌌

While the long-term vision of this project is held by the two founding families, everyday community life is already being enriched by other families and close friends who are gradually drawing nearer to this dream. Some join us regularly for shared meals, ceremonies, celebrations, children's play, and collective care. Others are exploring the possibility of becoming part of this future village.
So although the village is still in its early stages, you won't simply encounter two families building in isolation. You'll experience a living and evolving community field — woven slowly, intentionally, and through genuine relationships.
For us, community is not something that suddenly appears once the infrastructure is complete. It is built day by day: through shared work, laughter around the table, children running freely together, difficult conversations honestly held, celebrations, spiritual practices, and the willingness to care for something larger than ourselves.
Because children are at the heart of our village, volunteers also play a meaningful role in their learning journey. We believe children learn through real life — by observing, participating, asking questions, and engaging with people of different ages, cultures, and experiences. Rather than separating education from daily life, we see the village itself as a living learning environment.
You are invited to share whatever gifts, passions, and knowledge you carry: music, storytelling, woodworking, gardening, languages, crafts, cooking, photography, ancestral knowledge, or simply the stories of your own life and culture. Often, the most valuable learning happens naturally — around the dinner table, while planting in the garden, fixing something together, or exploring the river.

We ask for around 4–5 hours of contribution per day, 5 days a week, always with flexibility and mutual respect. Tasks may include:
• Garden and agroforestry care
• Natural building and land maintenance
• Cooking and sharing meals
• Support with children's activities
• Creative or communication projects (photography, video, social media)
• General care of our shared spaces
Following the practices we cultivate within our community, we also create regular check-in moments throughout your stay. Every few days, we set aside time to reflect together on how the exchange is unfolding: what is working well, what could be adjusted, what support may be needed, and how everyone is feeling within the experience.
We see these conversations not as evaluations, but as opportunities for mutual learning, honest communication, and shared care. They help us co-create an experience that feels nourishing, meaningful, and aligned for everyone involved.
This experience is probably not for you if you're looking for tourism, beaches, and nightlife — Garopaba is nearby, but the invitation here is for presence and roots.

We are a community in the making, guided by self-direction, conscious living together, and connection with the land. In shared spaces, food is vegan/vegetarian and free of ultra-processed items — anyone wanting to eat differently is welcome to do so in their own private space. We don't smoke in common areas, and there's no alcohol use at the Aldeia. Power plants are treated with sacredness — sometimes held in collective ceremony, sometimes individually, always with responsibility and awareness on the part of the person using them. Children move around freely and with autonomy — we ask for respect toward their presence, without imposing unsolicited authority, and quiet during their rest hours. Participation in circles, ceremonies, and spiritual practices is always an invitation, never an obligation — but whoever joins commits to what's agreed upon. We value truth and each person's self-responsibility to bring forward their needs — asking, expressing, and showing up is part of how we live together. Whoever makes a mess, cleans it: washing dishes and keeping shared spaces organized is everyone's responsibility. We care for the land through waste separation/composting, conscious use of water and energy, and no chemical products. Community work days (mutirões) are part of the exchange, not extra labor. In daily life together, we value nonviolent communication, shared responsibility for common spaces, giving notice when absent, and mindful phone use during collective moments.
