The project is an incredible community for locals and travelers alike. You will have the chance to enjoy all sorts of tasks (e.g. planting, composting, cooking, cleaning), and activities (e.g. kayaking, hiking, meditation, visiting the nearby town). Most importantly, Miriam is incredibly accommodating and promotes a work philosophy centered on individual needs and traits. The result is a fantastic community where all members (i.e. guests and volunteers) feel included and respected. I hope to be back soon!

My experience at the project was absolutely perfect; Miriam is a wonderful being that makes you feel at home in a heartbeat; everything works in very organic way with an amazing flow of energy. I am only grateful for the experience and hope I'll be able to make it for the one year anniversary of the Vila in a couple of days :)))

Foi a primeira vez que viajei como voluntária e minha experiência na ecovila foi incrível! A Miriam é uma super anfitriã e faz de tudo para que voluntários se conectem com o espaço e entre si, dá total autonomia para que cada pessoa desenvolva a atividade que deseja (dentre as prioritárias para a Vila) e é extremamente acolhedora. Tive oportunidade de contribuir com meus conhecimentos, me conectar com a natureza, aprender sobre agrofloresta e experimentar uma alimentação deliciosa. Também construi relações que levo para a vida toda! a ecovila é um oásis nesse mundão. Recomendo conhecer! <3

Foi a nossa primeira experiência de voluntariado na Wordpackers. Nos sentimos muito bem-vindos e confortáveis. Chegamos numa altura em que havia poucas pessoas e tivemos a sorte de ter um quarto só para nós. Obrigado por isso!! O que dizer da comida? Deliciosa, saudável, abundante, variada, feita com bom humor e bom amor. Na Vila as tarefas e horários são distribuídos com muita flexibilidade. A ênfase é colocada na construção do coletivo e em uma outra forma de viver e conviver. Foi um convite para olhar diferente. A convivência com os outros voluntários foi ótima, e fizemos novos amigos.
