The Experience

This is a private project that I started 7 years ago, where my focus is on the conservation of native stingless bees and environmental education: I receive visits from schools and volunteers. Currently I care for approximately 100 hives. Regarding the volunteers' days, there are five, with five hours per day; the days off are taken after having fulfilled the 25 hours of weekly service.

My experience was very special. I chose to leave earlier than planned because I didn't always feel comfortable. I perceived Jiddu as a deep, rational, and direct person. Respecting the rules and the sense of efficiency seemed important to me. We have very different personal structures and sometimes the clashes cost me. Despite that, our exchanges have always been with respect and maturity. Jiddu has many dispositions to teach, both his activity and his way of being. I am grateful for everything I have learned by his side, even about myself ✨️🙏

Casa Gaia gave me the space to be in silence and connect with myself in a very deep way; it was not easy to be in the silence of nature at the beginning, but it is an experience I would recommend to anyone who feels the need to disconnect in order to reconnect. Yi is a respectful, calm person with many experiences to share from which to learn. I had the opportunity to expand my knowledge about vegetable gardening and horticulture, mindful eating, and even to see and be accompanied by dreamlike animals ✨ I recommend this experience!

Tive uma ótima experiência no sítio, mesmo sendo a única voluntária no momento. Jiddu foi muito prestativo, compreensivo e atencioso. Aprendi muito com ele, não só sobre nutrição saudável e meio ambiente, mas também sobre a vida em geral e até sobre mim mesma. De certa forma, ele foi como um mentor para mim. O lugar é incrível, cercado pela natureza e cheio de vida selvagem. Tive a chance de ver tucanos, macacos e muitos outros animais de perto. É um projeto ecológico muito especial, perfeito para quem quer se desconectar, aprender e se conectar com a natureza.

El lugar es muy tranquilo, las tareas son sencillas, la habitación es muy agradable, hay animalitos por todas partes, uno aprende sobre el cuidado de la tierra y a tener una vida más saludable. Justo detrás hay un lago que es básicamente privado.
