A month off-grid on a mountain in the Brazilian jungle. Work mornings. Rest after. Eat and drink cleaner than you ever have — and help build the place while you're here.
No grid. No bill. This is the power running the mountain right this second — solar coming in, battery bank, the whole place off 28 panels and the sun. (Showing sample readings — live feed connects soon.)
A health reset and a build project at once. Come to get well. Leave having made something real.
We live off-grid on a mountain in the Atlantic Forest. Our own springs, our own power, our own animals, our own food. A month here does something to your body that's hard to explain until you feel it.
Right now there's one guest room. The plan is bigger. I'd rather build it with people than pay a crew — so you get the full reset in exchange. Mornings we work together. The rest of the day is yours.
A few hours, five days a week. You bring a real skill; you'll pick up the rest of off-grid living as you go — power, water, soil, animals.
Train, swim, read, sleep, eat, do nothing. Come down from whatever you came here to leave behind. This is the part that resets you.
To be straight about it: you give a few mornings. You get a month of clean food, a place to live, skills you keep for life, and a real taste of off-grid living. It's meant to be a gift, not a trade — the kind of month most people never get to have.
Five projects, in order. For each one I'm looking for someone who knows that trade — and wants to learn the rest of off-grid living while they're here.
Right now it's Phase 1: the first guest house. If you can build — carpentry, masonry, general construction — and you want a month on the mountain, this one's open.
One room today. We're raising the first standalone guest house so two can stay at once — and the next person has a bed. This is what we're building right now.
Upgrading how the mountain turns falling water into power. More independent, more reliable — for the person who wants to understand off-grid energy end to end.
More housing again. Room for more people, more hands, more of this. Every build makes the next one possible.
A proper open-air place to cook and eat together — fire, grill, a table under the trees. The heart of where everyone gathers after a day's work.
An independent gym built into the mountain — cool year-round, off-grid, a serious training space carved underground. The most ambitious build on the list.
Off-grid isn't roughing it. It's a set of old, clever systems that feed themselves. You'll live inside them for a month — and learn how they work.
This is a working homestead and a real build site. Not a hotel.
Deep jungle means real quiet and real stars — and also real bugs, real weather, and no shop around the bend. The work is honest and sometimes tiring, never brutal, never alone.
Want a resort? Not this. Want to be tired for the right reasons, sleep hard, eat food that left the ground that week, and point at something and say I built that? You'll fit right in.
Tell us who you are.
We mostly want a feel for you, what you'd like to help with, and when you'd come.
