Description
Welcome to our place - a magical land in the south of Alentejo region in portugal.
A place where we create an alternative lifestyle - based on harmony between nature, humans & community.
~~~ we would love to find people that are interested to stay for long term ~~~
we are a family of four, Or (35), Noam (36), Nayo (5.5) and our little one, ya'ar (2.5).
Six years ago we started developing the land with a vision to form our own kind of paradise. A place where community lives in harmony and abundance with nature. co-living of people, all creatures and forest.
Community supports forest supports community.
Our paradise is based on three foundations - the individual, the community and the land.
LAND - our goal is to restore the native forest and create a diverse food forest within. Putting an intention of empowering the ability of the land to retain water. we belive that lush and healthy forest will lead to lush and healthy life. We wish to take care and bring love to the land that hosts us, help to restore all that was lost over decades of man interference. Over the years we have restored old wells, built a dam, planted big variety of trees, bushes & vegetables to achive a full ecosystem.
COMMUNITY - we choose to live life that is shared - where we are choosing in conscious communication and sharing from our hearts. Day by day we are working together, eating together jaming and exchanging life experiences.
We welcome guests and volunteers that wish to be part of our dream.
INDIVIDUAL - as same as every plant shines his beauty and thrive in his natural environment - so are we, human beings. we are aiming to create a peaceful and safe environment, a great playground for each individual to shine his/her beauty and to explore yourself.

This place is perfect for a cultural exchange, as it is a community with people from all places. The community life is super cool, if someone has a problem it will be communicated openly which is super important I guess.. It's a wonderful atmosphere here, working is fun and no one will put pressure… read more
