The Experience

Aqui vivemos em comunidade e temos como missão a reconexão do ser humano com a natureza, por meio da convivência em comunidade e da experiência permacultural. Nossa sede é um Casarão de 1790 e estamos cercados pela Mata Atlântica. Para essa vaga buscamos pessoas que nos ajudem em todas as nossas atividades: agrofloresta, cozinha, infra estrutura e projeto educacional!

There's a really welcoming atmosphere at Sitcom, and its a very nice place to spend a while! I was treated very well by Bel, Leo and Caue. I don't speak Portuguese, which made it a bit more difficult at times, but Isabel speaks English, and I could speak Spanish to Caue who speaks 'Porteñol'!. The food's very tasty and the yoga classes are really great. Thank you very much for having me!

Fui para o projeto para fazer o PDC, um curso de Design de Permacultura. A comida era maravilhosa (toda vegana!!!) e todos os dias tive aulas sobre bioconstrucao, agrofloresta, manejo de água sustentável e muito mais. O Júlio e a Bel foram os hosts que me acolheram, uns amores que me fizeram sentir em casa. Toda a galera foi bem empática, divertida e com uma capacidade profunda de escuta. Sinto que aprendi mas também tive espaço para compartilhar, principalmente sobre questões de raça, gênero e classe. Para quem está afim de aprender sobre permacultura, suuuuper recomendo o projeto!!! 🌳💚🌎

Minha experiência no projeto foi maravilhosa, realmente não dá vontade de ir embora .. O pessoal foi super receptivo ,me senti em casa. A comunicação é aberta e ficamos bem a vontade para nos posicionar sobre nosso dia a dia lá. O trabalho era tranquilo, fiquei em várias áreas o que me permitiu conhecer um pouco de cada; e mesmo quando não sabia como fazer as tarefas , sempre foram bem pacientes em ensinar e mostrar os projetos; aprendi muito! Sou muito grata a Bel e a todos que conheci lá; espero voltar em breve
