En: In the lush green hills of Mantiqueira, the cold winter air mingled with the sweet aroma of boiled corn and the distant echoes of music and laughter from a Festa Julina. Pb: O retiro espiritual estava sereno, com cabanas de madeira e caminhos que serpenteavam pela vegetação exuberante. En: The spiritual retreat was serene, with wooden cabins and paths winding through the lush vegetation. Pb: Gabriel caminhava lentamente por entre as árvores, sentindo o vento fresco no rosto.
