    Description

    My Name is Gesine and I live with my 3 dogs Paula, Puma and Lina in Portugal on my 2,7ha land in south Alentejo. 2021 everything burned down in a wildfire, many trees, 2 cottages incl. all installations for water and electricity ....
    Now I want to build a mudhouse and create an infrastructure again.
    This piece of Pachamamas land is a healing place and powerspot, everybody who was here confirmed that and loved to be here!
    I am working with plant medicine, so making extractions of the local healing plants is one of my favorites. Gardening, cleaning the land from the burned stuff, walking with my dogs and taking care of a healthy alimentation are keeping me busy, time to build a house is not much left.
    The soil here is ideal for housebuilding and I started already.
    If you like to join us and help building a mudhouse you are very welcome, you will stay in a big tent and food will be provided twice a day.
    I prefer vegetarian meals, but sometimes I cook with fish and chicken too....
