We are an eco lodge with two wonderful treehouses and other funky eco-chic accommodation options starting to receive guests for maintaining its sustainability in the heart of the Brazilian savannah.
We operate within the principles of Permaculture throughout everything we do; planting organic; recycling materials to the maximum; bio-building and bringing body; mind and spiritual healing through retreats that happen in this super special jungle positive vibration location on the world’s largest crystal bed surrounded by hundreds of waterfalls. There is a conservation project in action whereby we are finding nice neighbours to populate the valley instead of cattle farmers that deforest and deplete the valleys vegetation for pasture. We love Permaculture; animals; planting our own food; agroforestry; art; music; health; spirituality; medicinal plants; treehouses; community; ecology and aiming for a different future for us all; co-creating and co-existing in harmony with Nature.
We are looking for people to volunteer here for a minimum of 4 weeks; preferably 8 weeks or more. You can decide to extend your stay while you are here; just let us know so we can sort it out. The work routine is 5 hours a day; 6 days a week; having Sunday as a day off. It consists of helping with the general running of the place; which includes cleaning; maintenance; preparing the space to receive guests; caring for the gardens; vegetable patches; agroforestry; planting; helping with eco-building; painting and creative projects; whilst learning about Permaculture and a more sustainable way of life in the country-side. These priorities could change from one day to another; even during a single day; since we have flexible routines; but we try to keep communication going as much as possible; so everybody knows what they are doing.
Also; we participate in weekly group activities; which are optional. That includes practices such as yoga; potluck; movie night; parties and even a whole day dedicated to silence. These activities are important to strengthen group unity; develop human connection and create and environment of gathering and well-being. We are always open to new ideas; so anyone can suggest new activities and share their knowledge.
