The Experience

O Vida Desperta é um programa de voluntariado comunitário voltado ao autoconhecimento e despertar da essência. A proposta reúne práticas contemplativas (meditação, yoga, silêncio e mantras), vivências interativas (dança, jogos de conexão, massagens e partilhas) e espaços de cocriação e expressão autêntica, incentivando a descoberta de dons e talentos. O trabalho é visto como prática de presença no cotidiano, com o convite de viver com consciência

A cada passagem pela the Center, sinto minhas raízes se aprofundarem um pouquinho mais nesse lugar tão especial. É bonito perceber como os encontros vão tecendo uma teia de afeto, aprendizados e conexões que seguem vivas mesmo quando estamos longe. Sou muito grata por essa família de alma que encontrei pelo caminho. Cada pessoa, cada troca e cada vivência deixa um fio nessa teia e um pedacinho em mim. Que nossas raízes continuem crescendo e nossos caminhos se cruzem muitas outras vezes. Até breve, meu paraíso na Terra! ❤️

Voluntariar no centro é sempre uma experiência incrível. A cada passagem, sinto que fortaleço ainda mais minhas raízes com esse espaço e continuo desenvolvendo meu autoconhecimento, minha espiritualidade e minha conexão com a verdade do meu ser. Sou profundamente grato a todas as pessoas que fazem parte dessa linda comunidade, por cada troca, aprendizado e momento compartilhado. Espero muito em breve retornar a esse lugar tão especial, que, para mim, é verdadeiramente um paraíso na Terra. Muito, muito obrigado por tudo e por cada momento vivido. Até breve, o centro! ❤️

Estar no the Center foi uma experiência incrível. Além do espaço ser lindíssimo, cercado por natureza e com cachoeiras exuberantes, tem uma ótima estrutura. Fui muitíssimo bem acolhida pelo Caio e Giti, além das demais voluntárias com quem compartilhei esses dias. Esse lugar, e as pessoas com quem me conectei definitivamente ficaram no meu coração. Um the Center muito amor, conexão e diálogos. Espero ter a oportunidade de retornar a este local fantástico.

The Center María es un espacio mágico, cuando no hay retiro se disfruta de una paz, silencio y conexión muy linda. Los días de retiro son tareas específicas, que siempre fueron leves. La comida es increible desde el desayuno hasta la cena, un punto muy destacable. El lugar queda entre ríos y cachoeiras, y es perfecto para quien quiere desconexión de la ciudad y conectar con la naturaleza y consigo mismo. Giti y Caio son anfitriones muy amorosos, siempre dispuestos. Sin duda recomiendo este lugar para voluntariar!

O centro foi sem dúvidas, a melhor experiência de voluntariado que já vivi. Essa vivência transformou minha vida de uma forma que levarei para sempre. Saio daqui com mais clareza, presença, consistência e uma nova visão sobre muitas coisas. O espaço é incrível, cercado pela natureza e por lindas cachoeiras, trazendo muita paz e conexão. Miho, Caio e Gite são pessoas extraordinárias que tornaram essa jornada ainda mais especial. A alimentação também foi um destaque, com algumas das melhores refeições que já provei. Sou muito grato por tudo e espero voltar um dia!❤️❤️
