    Beschreibung

    This is a regenerative restoration/reforestation project in its early stages situated in Alentejo, Portugal between Alcácer do Sal and Montemor-o-Novo.

    We are inspired by, experiment and apply multidisciplinary techniques taken from ancient practices around the world as well as many others including holistic management, re-wilding, permaculture and others.

    We have a diverse background, having have and lived and worked in different countries, ultimately choosing Portugal as our base.

    We both come from the arts/culture field and are newbies at working with the earth. We make up for that by being incessantly curious and avid learners . We consult with local and international experts regularly as we try to bring our vision for this place to life and ultimately create a safe haven for creative types.

    As former Workawayers , we look forward to hosting and welcoming kindred spirits who can lend us a hand along the way.

    Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

    We are a multicultural couple with an extensive and diverse background, especially in arts and culture. We've been studying permaculture and other regenerative disciplines while living and volunteering in different countries for a few years and now we finally have a chance to try it all in practice.

    We hold regular workshops and discussions on different relevant subjects as we design and implement these concepts around the land which volunteers can benefit from while experiencing the Alentejo way of life at its finest.

  • Arbeit

    Arbeit

    There are established buildings, trees and vegetation and a big pond on the property that all need some love in one way or another.

    General help is needed in all areas and physical fitness and agility is a must .

    Priority is given to volunteers with experience or strong interest in the following fields:

    - Regenerative farming activities/ tree care & management
    -Carpentry
    - General repairs
    - Natural building techniques/material prep
    -DIY Projects
    - Wood working
    - Healthy cooking for groups

    There are also lots of other tasks around the place for those who cannot contribute to the above.

    Volunteers are expected to work at least 5 hours per day 5 days a week. Working hours vary with the season. Early mornings are a must in the warmer months and are arranged so that the heat can be avoided as much as possible.

    Projects and schedules change constantly depending on what we need to focus on.

    Please get in touch with us even your skills are not listed above.

    Be sure to name your favourite movie in capital letters at the beginning of your message, so that we know you've read this description!

  • Unterkunft

    Unterkunft

    We have different options available for volunteers. There is a 1 bedroom with a queen bed and 2 single beds, a shared bathroom with a tub and shower, and a shared kitchen for 3-4 volunteers.

    There’s also ample space on the land for more volunteers with their own campers/tents.There is a working cold outdoor shower and the other facilities are shared with others.

    We provide breakfast and dinner, and a lighter meal around lunchtime. The food is simple and healthy, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian , often featuring international recipes.

    Laundry and shopping are done once a week.

    Was noch ...

    This project sits on a beautiful abandoned property in Alentejo, only 75 minutes from Lisbon and 40 minutes from the beautiful Comporta beach. There is a stunning lake about 7 km away from us that they can easily drive/bike to on their days off and many charming Alentejo villages, towns , trails and hikes nearby to explore. Evora, the cultural capital of Portugal, is also only 40 minutes away and well worth a visit.

    This is an eco project in its infancy. We expect volunteers and visitors to respect the intricate water/wildlife system that we are trying to restore. That includes avoiding the use of commercial/chemical shampoos/cleansers/sunblocks and other personal care products and managing their plastic waste responsibly and off premises.

    We also expect everyone to handle things with care and be mindful of keeping both the indoor and outdoor spaces clean, tidy and pleasant for everyone. This is common courtesy, not part of the chores and the working hours.

    We suggest a one week trial for those intending to stay longer.
