Our first experience open to public took place in March. It was funny, neither Diogo nor I felt very confortable in publicizing a lot. The house was still a zone, we lived in tents, without bathroom, a shower, construction work scattered everywhere, floors still with bamboo slats...Finally, we felt like we were a hurricane. Constantly IContinue reading “As primeiras mãozinhas que construíram aqui”

"I have already built 3 clay ovens with garbage"
It was one of the phrases that marked me in my living with Diogo. I got to know Diogo's work through Rede Permaperifa at Casa Ecoativa in Grajaú. Returning to talking about stitching and networks, this network supports the development of permaculture on the outskirts of São Paulo. I was very surprised at this meeting at Casa Ecoativa,Continue reading ““Já construí 3 fornos de barro com lixo””
"I came from there, I came from there, little, little
But I came from there when I was little! Someone warned me, to step on this floor…slowly.

Sabijam Samadhi steps
The first chapter of Patanjali's Yogasutras describes the states of consciousness traversed by the mind until it reaches the state of Samadhi and, later, Kaivalyam
Who is the "Self"?
A philosophical journey about the states of Ahamkara, or the “fluid of consciousness” that we call ego, from the dense and physical plane, to the mental and supramental plane
Wild fabrics and spirals
Life's spirals are many; often it seems we go round and round and return to "almost the same place," a place very similar to another from another time, but with an added touch of knowledge. When we return to these places, that's when we can observe our patterns and use our...Continue reading “Tecidos e espirais selvagens”
Learning to speak is learning to listen
To see in Spanish, click here. As Mirra Alfassa said: “to truly be able to express oneself for 10 seconds, a person would have to remain silent for an entire day. (…) Thus, to be able to speak for 10 minutes, a person would have to remain silent for an entire year.” In recent years, I have reflected a lot on “knowing how to speak,” “knowing how to communicate,”,Continue reading “Aprender a falar é aprender a escutar”
How we want to build in the world
We are building the first spaces of the Portal now. The first hands to touch the earth here – and also the cement of the old house – were Diogo's, Wesley's, Cauã's, Talitha's, Fá's, mine, and the two little ones, Maria and Yara's. Diogo is a curious being, his thoughts swirl in his mind, but his eyes...Continue reading “Como queremos construir no mundo”
The influence of prenatal life on an individual
Does the period before birth really influence our lives?1 We now know that each stage of our lives influences the subsequent stage. Psychiatrists have demonstrated this, and we have all had the opportunity to observe it in our lives and in the lives of those around us. This now obvious fact is the result of a long process.Continue reading “A influência da vida pré-natal sobre um indivíduo”
Yoga Sutras de Patanjali
Patanjali's Yoga Sutras are one of the most concise and precise texts on the philosophical system of Yoga, also presenting aspects of its psychological approach. The word "Sutra" comes from the root "siv," meaning to sew together; thus, they are characterized by being linear and linked to the previous sutra. There are 196 sutras distributed across...Continue reading “Yoga Sutras de Patanjali”
Prāṇā
Prana can be understood as the vital energy that exists throughout the Universe, that is, the principle of life, the primordial energy that assumes all forms. Everything in the material world with life is considered to possess prana. In some Vedic texts, Prana is understood as a cosmic web of "light," vibration, as a...Continue reading “Prāṇā”
