If you are looking to reconnect with yourself through nature, community life and meaningful farm activities, in a calmer environment, this experience is for you.
About
Eco Caminhos is a self-sustaining Eco Farm and international community located in the mountains of Rio de Janeiro. Our mission is to create a more sustainable, grounded and connected way of living through Permaculture, Agroforestry, Organic Farming and Community Life.
Wellbeing & Rehabilitation Experience
This program is designed for people who feel the need to slow down, reconnect with themselves and develop healthier routines through nature, community life and meaningful daily activities.
Eco Caminhos offers a supportive environment focused on emotional wellbeing, structure, simplicity and reconnection with nature.
The experience is suitable for people going through different emotional or mental health challenges who are looking for a more balanced, grounded and supportive lifestyle.
We maintain a respectful, supportive and substance-free environment inside the farm and community spaces.
Location
Located near Nova Friburgo, about two hours from Rio de Janeiro, Eco Caminhos is surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, rivers and the biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest.
The peaceful environment and slower rhythm of life create the perfect setting to reconnect with nature, wellbeing and community.
Daily Life & Activities
Participants become part of the daily life of the farm through a more structured and balanced routine.
Activities may include:
Agroforestry and gardening
Bioconstruction activities
Cooking and community tasks
Nature walks and hikes
Workshops and presentations
Community activities and cultural exchange
The experience combines practical activities, routine, community support and time in nature.
Participants usually collaborate around 24 hours per week, generally organized across 3 working days, always respecting the rhythm and wellbeing of each person.
Support & Community Life
The program includes regular support conversations and guidance focused on wellbeing, adaptation and personal development throughout the experience, while gradually encouraging more autonomy, responsibility and independence over time.
Life in community is an important part of the process, encouraging respect, communication, responsibility and meaningful human connection.
This program is not a medical or psychiatric treatment facility, but rather a complementary environment focused on wellbeing, structure, reconnection with nature and gradual personal transformation.
Outside activities, participants can rest, enjoy nature, join community events, visit waterfalls and experience a slower and more intentional lifestyle.
