A Place for Becoming Whole
Our Mission
To create a sanctuary where people can reconnect with nature and heal holistically.
Traditional mental health treatment has become increasingly medicalized and bureaucratic, often isolating individuals in clinical settings with purely pharmaceutical interventions. We believe there is a better path forward.
We combine immersive farm and garden experiences with evidence-based therapeutic practices, including the guided indigenous medicine practices. Through active participation in a living ecosystem and carefully facilitated treatments, our clients gain the tools to transform their lives and achieve lasting wellness.
The Island Of Magic
Florianopolis, or ‘Floripa’ for short, is known throughout Brazil and worldwide as a premiere vacation destination because of its natural beauty and relaxed island life.
128 acres of pristine jungle overlooking the island's largest freshwater source, the Peri Lagoon, as well as sunrise views of the Atlantic Ocean and beyond.
Surrounded by thousands of acres of protected forest, of which we will be stewards, this sanctuary provides all that is needed to live in pure connection with nature.
