Uma Nova Fase Do Ecolibrium<\/h2>\r\n<\/div>[vc_single_image image=”30835″ img_size=”1000px” alignment=”center” css=””]
<\/div>
\r\n

On May 2, 2026, we celebrated the completion of Phase 1 of the Ecolibrium Permaculture Hub, a significant milestone in our collective vision. <\/span>After years of dedication and hard work, the space became fully operational, providing the infrastructure needed to support regenerative education programs and community development initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Phase 2 is already underway, bringing new improvements that will further expand the project’s impact. Ecolibrium represents our long-term commitment to regeneration, hands-on learning, and community empowerment. <\/span>We also published our 2025 Annual Report, highlighting the key achievements, lessons learned, and impacts generated throughout the year. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

We are deeply grateful to all the partners, sponsors, and supporters who make this work possible. Together, we continue building a more sustainable future.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/div>

From Bangkok to Eco Caminhos<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

The cool winds of May didn\u2019t just bring the dry leaves of autumn. They also brought a very special family to Eco Caminhos.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

We had the pleasure of welcoming a family from Bangkok. Sakhi is Indian, while Peter, her husband, was born in France. Both passionate travelers, they met in Spain and, after a year of friendship, got married and eventually welcomed two wonderful children, Ayaan and Uma, in Thailand.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

They arrived eager to explore nature, learn about permaculture, agroforestry, and natural building techniques, and they made the most of every moment of their experience here. Meanwhile, the children had an amazing time with everyone on the farm. They played on the swings, enjoyed chess matches, created art with clay, and absolutely loved the treasure hunt. <\/span>Uma and Ayaan left Eco Caminhos with more than just chocolate coins. They took home new knowledge, beautiful memories, and a little piece of each one of us.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This family participated in our Family Experience Program, a unique immersion designed to strengthen family bonds through connection with nature, farm life, and shared experiences. Through hands-on activities, meaningful learning opportunities, and exposure to a more sustainable way of living, parents and children have the chance to slow down, create lasting memories, and experience a truly transformative journey together.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Watch the video below and hear what the family has to say about their experience. <\/span>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yJzG7LF32xQ<\/span><\/a><\/p>\r\n

Eliza’s Return<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

Some people visit Eco Caminhos. Others become part of our story.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

That is certainly the case with Eliza, a German volunteer who returned to Brazil for her third experience at our eco farm over the past seven years.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

During her two-week stay, she reconnected with familiar landscapes, friends, and special memories, spent time with our volunteers, explored local trails, and captured the beauty of Eco Caminhos and the Nova Friburgo region through her incredible photography.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Welcoming back visitors who choose to return is one of the greatest signs of the impact our community can have. It was a true pleasure to have you with us once again, Eliza. Our doors will always be open for your next visit!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/div>

Welcome, Caterina!<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

Ciao, Caterina!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

That\u2019s how we welcomed the newest member of the Eco Caminhos family. Named after a very special Italian volunteer who stayed with us in April, little Caterina the calf has just entered the world. <\/span>Her birth is another joyful moment in the life of the farm and a reminder of the meaningful connections we build with people from all around the world. Now, in addition to being part of our volunteer Caterina\u2019s memories, her name has also become part of the Eco Caminhos story.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

If you visit the farm in the coming months, you\u2019ll likely spot our little calf exploring the pastures, discovering the world around her, and receiving plenty of love and attention from the community.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Welcome to the world, Caterina!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/5″]
