Serra Grande is a magical and sacred place, known for
its natural beauty, ranging from the forest and its
compositions to the beaches that brighten your eyes
and warm your heart.
Located in the south of Bahia, on the Cocoa Coast, Serra Grande, known for its natural beauty and tranquility, is a district of the city of Uruçuca, a region surrounded by great biodiversity. This place preserves 20km of primitive beaches with clear and warm waters, and one of the most important national parks in the region, which is the Serra do Conduru National Park with an area of approximately 8,500 hectares of Atlantic Forest reserve. The park is home to a wide variety of species, including many threatened with extinction, such as the jaguar and the black-faced lion tamarin.
The Village Community is very welcoming and hospitable and its cultural and spiritual roots tend to be very present in everyday life. The cocoa culture is still very strong and brings with it processes of great wisdom and ancestral clarity. Furthermore, the region has a very rich alternative scene, with local artists who arrive and express their art through music, dance, cuisine, therapies...

In this experience, which will take place on the newest farm at Sítio Semente, you will understand from a deeper and spiritual perspective why practicing Syntropic Agriculture is, above all, about honoring the land. A patient and loving work that teaches us in so many aspects of our lives, as we contribute to the regeneration of the planet
There will be four days of transformative experiences, where we will study Regenerative Syntropic Planting, Herbalism, Distillation of Medicinal Herbs, production of Phytocosmetics and Live Pharmacy. Parallel to these events, we will also have a species recognition walk through the forest, night experience in the forest, herbal bath, singing ceremony, tours of local waterfalls, mangroves and a paradisiacal beach in Barra do Tijuípe.
This is a unique opportunity aimed at those seeking to understand the Syntropic Principles and their aspects, curious people or students in the area, interested in accessing the wisdom of plants in a subtle and profound way, with love and respect as the main tools for Healing and Regeneration of everything that exists.
