  Beschreibung

  I'm building a sustainable community in rural central Portugal. This I want to share and co-create with like minded individuals.
  
  This project is about healing ourselves and our planet. We are open to long and short term stays but are not able to offer visas.
  
  I am a non denominational Reverend of Metaphysics, talking therapist and medicine Woman
  
  I offer and teach Reiki, Energy medicine, Ho'oponopono and mindfulness.
  
  I am completely off grid where the aim is for zero waste. I also teach humanure composting and have mentored communities globally teaching basic permaculture design and Composting.
  
  Part of our zero waste is to combine Art and recycling. We reuse, recycle and repurpose everything we can. Art can speak many languages and say more than words.
  
  Therefore anyone with a creative streak may find themselves able to immerse themselves in their art.
  
  There will be animals here and they roam freely working the land so all visiting animals must be neutered and socialised so we can maintain the balance
  
  There is a van park for campers. We also have a camping spaces for those wishing to camp.
  
  Because we are a Permaculture project there is no room for discrimination of any kind. It is a place for all people from all walks of life and belief systems to come together and live by the ethics, People care, Earth care and Fair share.
  
  People with disabilities are welcome, as are families and couples and those with animals. We are all unique individuals with something to give.
  
  Vegans and Meat eaters are equally welcome and we will prepare and cook accordingly.
  
  Every one is entitled to their opinions but no one has any right to force it on others and will be expected to work alongside each other for the greater good of mother earth.
  
  We are looking for people who wish to learn and share their skills to build a better place for all to share.
  
  Nothing should be a chore here. We both believe that happier people are way more productive.
  
  Anyone who stays must agree to live by the 7 co-commitments (please see requirements below). This way we all know we have a shared foundation in our community core beliefs.
  
  We work in daylight hours and wherever you are sleeping I need to be able to access tools etc while there is daylight.
  
  If you wish to get closer to nature, lower your carbon footprint and learn to tread lighter on our planet then come and join us.

When I offer a workshop, I take the full amount for my service unless it is a pre-agreed part as my role as a community member and part of my service to community.
