"Mais um lugar pra chamar de meu". Foi assim que me senti no Refúgio. Fui muito bem recebida, me senti acolhida, participativa e integrada As tarefas são bem tranquilas, o Andress, com toda sua sabedoria, nos deixa bem à vontade e assim, tudo flui com muita tranquilidade. Super recomendo.

Ótima experiência, anfitrião muito prestativo, tudo combinado foi cumprido, lugar onde o respeito pelo indivíduo é o padrão, a troca de informação e experiência de vida do anfitrião ótima para reflexões, equipe e filho também muito amigáveis e acolhedores, gratidão pelo convívio

O Refúgio o projeto é essencial para todos, tanto pela marcante experiência em meio da natureza preservada como pelas boas lembranças com André e a família dele, inclusive com belos animais de estimação. André gentilmente me levou a vários lugares durante minhas folgas, por exemplo: a Gruta do Poço Certo. Toda a alimentação é saudável, pela primeira vez na vida (talvez jamais) comi chimia de camapu! O serviço é simples e sem complexidade para a execução. André tem livros raros, a Internet é muito boa e há oportunidades de ir a Alfredo Wagner durante o meio da semana. Muito obrigado; WP!

A experiência no Refúgio o projeto foi maravilhosa. O André, assim como as pessoas que habitam o Refúgio, são pessoas flexíveis, simpáticas e receptivas. A casa é um lugar aconchegante e o espaço é pura natureza, com bosques, montanhas e alguns cursos de água ao redor. Há vacas por toda parte e não podemos esquecer dos bichinhos que habitam o espaço, entre eles o Alfredo e o Wagner, que certamente serão sua companhia quando você for passear pelos arredores. E não posso deixar de mencionar a Morena, a gata mais trilheira que já vi. Recomendado para qualquer WP! 🌲🌿

Eu vivi por um mês e meio no Refúgio the project, e foi um feliz encontro! O Andres e a Lila me acolheram com muito amor. Foram dias curativos, divertidissimos e de muito aprendizado, em todos os sentidos! Uma proposta de the project verdadeiramente nossas verdades. Agradeço imensamente pela amizade e pela oportunidade de ter dias tão felizes! Muita luz ao Refúgio e seus membros queridos! ❣️
