Staying this days with Tania at the eco village was a life changing experience. She is full of knowledge about life and nature, and I really learned a lot with her and with the environment itself. We worked hard, but it was worth the effort. The place is also really beautiful and peaceful, I just loved it.

Thank you, Fernanda, for your presence and the energy you brought to each activity. I write on behalf of Tânia, who at that time was your host (she is currently on retreat). Sorry, as we recently understood how this other part of comments works...
Everything is transformed with every passage here within the group or among individuals, who receive from the transformed corners and in the houses the good intention and care of the previous travelers who rolled up their sleeves. Thus, you were inside a continuous cycle that represents a sound in this 'Canção do Ser,' as Arawikay means. We recommend to others your search and dedication, your sound! Warm regards, Ely (on behalf of Tânia).

La experiencia fantástica, Eli y Tania son dos anfitrionas súper amorosas, con la mejor disposición y una energía divina, el lugar también es mágico al medio del morro, el trabajo es un poco pesado pero justamente por eso las horas de trabajo se pasan volando, lo único a tener en cuenta, llevar mucho repelente y ropa adecuada para el trabajo porque hay muchos mosquitos

Great experience with you all!!!! Very dear!
As we have 6 types of applications (6 different activity titles: some very outdoorsy, others in semi-open locations and others inside physical structures), the WP can search on the page for each of the possible activities within these different environments to choose the right one.
It is important that each worldpackers choose, according to the season that comes, what would make for him an outdoor activity more enjoyable or less taxing if he wishes.
Summer is a humid subtropical climate in this region of Brazil, so mosquitoes and heat are normal at times of the day. Winter is already cold. For that reason, we do not stay in the sun for five hours, or in the cold, never in the rain. Yes we divide the time with other activities different or similar in other areas.
Appropriate clothing is necessary to avoid discomfort from bites in rural areas. (fabrics that do not generate heat and avoid bites and legs and feet covered)
There are guidelines within each application, such as: bring repellent, ointments for those who are allergic, field clothing. There are several times of the year without mosquitos.
The agro-forest activity always requires more stamina and more dynamic physical effort for those who want to have daily practice and to contribute to the maintenance of this area. If choosing other activities, you can always spend a few shorter moments on this activity as well.
Just like you, every WP on arrival can opt to be open to many other activities and thus we can rotate more, according to local physical needs and adapt to weather-related issues.
Thanks for your beautiful flexibility from both of you and attention to the whole proposal. A big hug!!!

Viver com a Ely e a Tânia foi um presente, grandes mulheres com muito conhecimento sobre permacultura, agrofloresta, horta sintropica e meio ambiente, desde que começaram o projeto conseguiram restaurar 4 nascentes de água do terreno, é realmente incrível e admirável. Lá você vai ter uma imersão na natureza, eu por exemplo não tive sinal por todos os dias, outros voluntários tinham, fui no verão então enfrentei muitos mosquitos mas também vi muitos pássaros. É um lugar de conexão interna e com a natureza e as anfitriões ajudam muito nisso! São ótimas companhias e vivemos grandes momentos!

Grateful to Dedé for your presence and contributions! Birds are inspirations and truly lead us to contemplation and a sense of peace.
Moments of mosquitoes in the summer challenge us anywhere and disperse us the moment we are connected. Life is this: mosquitoes serve to learn to defend ourselves from what is persistent and poke us, taking us off our focus (an analogy... haha. You know what I mean about what we exchanged one day)
Regarding the signal, here we only get TIM in the region (as the pages say). Others don't (or if the device is good, sometimes there may be some network).
But it is also a place for purification; we always suggest avoiding use, disconnect more to connect with nature and let leisure be different, giving more meaning to the passage through Arawikay.
We can always send a private message from our cell phone to a family member or they can call us if they need something urgent. Or, with a car, go to stable network points.
I noticed you made a connection with the waters of the river, with reflections, with coexistence, with the practice of the garden (among others). Take this forward in your life project. A big hug and gratitude; we appreciate your presence.

A partir do primeiro dia eu senti bem recebido na casa da Eliana e Taiane. Elas são pesssoas muito simpáticas com personalidades fortes. Estar hospedada numa comunidade com objetivos e opiniões similares me deixou sentir como numa família. Ser parte essa comunidade fortaleceu o meu ponto de vista acerca da uma vida ecológica e consciente. Estou muito grata por essa oportunidade e quero agradecer para essa semana dentro da natureza. Amei!!

Tânia e Eliana são anfitriãs maravilhosas, compartilhamos muitas conversas, pontos de vista, trabalho, musica e comidas boas. Aprendi muito sobre permacultura, agrofloresta, e ainda pude por a mão na massa em tarefas como marcenaria e roçada. Eliana me deu indicações musicais maravilhosas. Vou levar a experiência para a vida toda! Indico para todos que queiram a experiência de viver contato com a natureza como uma alternativa de vida mais sustentável.

Between different generations it's very good to share archives of music and what it produces in each generation. Even good music we must preserve on this planet! In the end... Everything is vibration. Gardens vibrate, handcrafted objects vibrate inside the house, social interactions vibrate. Nature is pure vibration.
Arawikay means "Song of the Self" or "Song of all beings." We people vibrate in feelings, in movement, in thoughts. We are a sound. The unique, life-attuned musicality of each person is what makes up a good society. Keep making music out there, Henrique! Safe travels. Gratitude for your time with us.
