In times of pandemic and uncertainty, one thing is sure: our relationship with Mother Nature must change! Eco Caminhos, an eco-farm located in Nova Friburgo, Brazil, connects people from around the world with nature, to exchange energy and knowledge. The ultimate goal at Eco Caminhos is to establish an exemplary lifestyle based on simplicity, activity, sustainability, and, above all, wellbeing.
Spending time at Eco Caminhos provides the opportunity to live a healthier, more sustainable life through working with and learning about permaculture, agroforestry, natural building (bioconstruction), organic farming, and other ecological practices.
The end result of such an ‘eco-experience’ positively impacts the individual. Experiencing an alternative lifestyle based on health and sustainability in this post-corona world, however, could be more important than ever before as we start to construct a path to a ‘new normal’ for ourselves. This is a rare opportunity to ensure that sustainable practices focused on the health and wellbeing of people and the environment are woven into the fabric of our society for us and future generations to enjoy.
