  Description

  Feedback with FeeDBacK
  
  I'm in the last bits of reclaiming a xisto building on the highest point of Benfeita, Arganil.
  The only space left that has to come alive is the kitchen (5×7), where the 270cm table can hold 10 people. All kind of skills are needed and can be explored. We do 2 to 4 markets a month for funds and networking. Also we do roadtrips when people need stuff being transported in the sprinter. When the weather gets better maybe more markets and festivals will be visired.Time is measured by the sun and work is regulated by the moon. The oranges need picking.
  The idea is that: When people eat together, they communicate, form transactions and alliences.
  Everything is possible is my motto and I look for people who'll give me a hand to bring the dream into reality. There is room for all kind of activities, small workshops, shared living, theater, music.
  I prefer long term stays and open minded people.
