The Experience

We are creating a sustainable space in the Atlantic Forest with agroforestry, bioconstruction, and off-grid living. Volunteers help regenerate the land, build with bamboo and earth, and care for the space. Activities include planting, pruning, soil cover, a garden, composting, and support on the construction, as well as playing with the baby, if you like children. It is a simple, practical experience guided by permaculture.

Spending these two weeks with Yanka, Leo, and the baby Francisco was enriching in many ways. I learned and experienced the importance of respecting nature and its processes, I also learned basic concepts of permaculture and agroecology, and I was deeply touched by the social dimension of the experience. Participating in community work days with groups from the local community showed me, in practice, the importance of collectivity and the strength we are capable of moving when we have a well-aligned purpose. Gratitude to this special family that welcomed me with open arms. I honor and respect your story! 💚
