Program Details

🌿 We are a guesthouse and hostel on the Costa da Lagoa, in Florianópolis, a special place where nature is part of daily life. Our access is via trails or boat, in a quiet area, but close to Lagoa da Conceição's town center.

🏡 We offer volunteers accommodation in a shared room, basic internet, a stocked kitchen and facilities for day-to-day tasks.

We are going through a transition period due to the change of owners, and the space is currently undergoing renovations, maintenance and improvements.

We are working to renew and improve the guesthouse's structure, making the environment increasingly welcoming and pleasant. Therefore, some areas and amenities may be temporarily adapting. We appreciate your understanding and willingness to be part of this new phase with us! 🌿✨

✨ We want to build a warm, pleasant, and constantly evolving environment that respects nature and encourages a closer connection with it, valuing simplicity, coexistence and everyone's well-being.


Activities & Shift

🧹 The volunteer will collaborate with the routine and care of our guesthouse and hostel, Floresta & Magia. The activities include cleaning and organizing the rooms and common areas, assisting at the reception and in guest services to keep the space pleasant, functional and welcoming for all.

🕒 The workload will be 18 hours per week, with 2 days off per week, in shifts previously arranged with the team.

🌳 Life on the Costa da Lagoa is a different experience from urban routine. Surrounded by the forest, by a rich biodiversity - including our companion Hanu 🐒💚 - by the waters of Lagoa da Conceição and by villages in the region, it has a slower pace, access mainly by trails or boat and a strong connection to nature and the local community. Here, the aim is to slow down, coexist and enjoy a simpler and more natural lifestyle.


Rules

🤝 We expect respect for shared spaces, for nature, for the team and for other guests and volunteers. It is important to maintain the organization and cleanliness of the common areas, have good communication and fulfill the activities agreed.

🌿 We value autonomy, responsibility, collaboration, and care for the environment. Coexistence should be based on mutual respect and the building of a positive experience for all. Embracing the process.
