Program Details
🌿 We are a guesthouse and hostel on Costa da Lagoa, in Florianópolis, a special place where nature is part of daily life. Our access is by trails or boat, in a quiet area, but close to the center of Lagoa da Conceição.
🏡 We offer volunteers accommodation in a shared room, internet, equipped kitchen and facilities for day-to-day tasks.
We are going through a transition period due to ownership change, and the space is currently undergoing renovations, maintenance and improvements.
We are working to renew and improve the guesthouse 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 welcoming, 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, gardening, help with space maintenance and minor repairs.
🕒 The working hours will be 18 hours per week, with 2 days off per week, in shifts previously agreed with the team.
🌳 Life on Costa da Lagoa is a different experience from urban routine. Surrounded by 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 with 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 agreed activities.
🌿 We value autonomy, responsibility, collaboration and care for the environment. Living together should be based on mutual respect and on building a positive experience for everyone. Enjoying the process. ✨
