Milton Marchesoni
"These were unique moments, I really felt like being a child again. Many things I've never done in my life I actually did here after 40 years. I even get goosebumps to imagine how rewarding and how enjoyable it was to stay here. To get to know Santiago and Mafê, to come to the Ecovillage and learn how it works, how we can actually manage to live only with what nature brings us.
The movement aspect was wonderful for me because I played sport for a long time, but never the real sport, now in my point of view after this week, when I saw that real sport is in contact with nature. It's riding a bike on the beach, which I've never done, surfing, which I've never done before, kayaking, running, but not running on the treadmill or on the asphalt, running among the coconut trees or on the beach... Again I get goosebumps when I remember and it's so that I want to come more and more often, I hope I can have more opportunities like this one. It was wonderful, I really appreciate it!"
Fernanda Raposo
"It's impossible not to have my heart overflowing with gratitude and already missing this wonderful place. (...)
I joke that I am crazy about retreats, I do a lot of retreats and this one for me was a very special one and very different retreat. I think that Santi and Mafê's proposal, putting movement, the body, together with nature, relating with self-knowledge, was the big difference. (...) I realized that when we put our bodies to move, in this beautiful proposal they have here, when you ride a bike, you run, then you go kayaking, you do a lot of things... when you STOP there is a connection, something incredible, indescribable that happens very different from the retreat proposals I've been doing in my life. (...) Surpassed my expectations! I'm already wondering which day I'll be back.
The group was wonderful, being in an ecovillage is a differential because we make friends not only with the group, we leave fro here with new friends. (...)
I just have to thank you! An amazing experience, I definitely want to be back. It was something transformative on my journey! Namaste!"
Ana Carolina from SM Chã
"It was an incredible immersion. Santi and Mafê are incredible people, sensitive, dedicated. They made these days here, which seemed like months, magical! For me it was a profound experience, but with lightness. They let everything be easy , light. Here I rescued my child and things I've wanted to do for a long time and I've been procrastinating. It was delicious! It was great! If you have the opportunity, come!
