The experience

We are a couple who work from home (Ana/Índigo Ayer is a writer, Luis is a translator) and we offer Writing Retreats in a standalone chalet on our property in São Lourenço da Serra, 60 km from the city of São Paulo. We are looking for volunteers who can help us in the intervals between retreats. Here you can enjoy contact with nature and the silence, in a tranquil environment valued by people seeking retreat and introspection.
