Description
Hello beautiful beings,
we are Miguel, Dora and Harï,
Right now we need some help in august to finish this tiny house made by clay, will be an action of 15 days were tou can learn eco building techniques.
About us:
we joined 5years ago to this big family quinta da enterranha, to make one dream come true: live in harmony with nature and with each other, creating a little paradise to raise up our children. All these years we have been creating spaces - by now almost each family has built their house to live, and we even built a "homeschooling" school, 10 years ago where we make activities with the children on a daily basis.
The place where we live together is a very special place: it is big and wild, has an incredibly beautiful river, pure air and water, and is surrounded by only more wild nature. We are totally off-the-grid: our water comes from a nearby spring, we use only renewable energies as a source of electricity, and we have compost toilets.
So we are an eco village where together we bought a big land in the Beira Alta area of Portugal.
It is a very interesting project that energies flow from the individual towards the collective!!
So we arrived to one part of this eco village where we explore and create edible gardeners, agroflorest, food forest, eco buildings, etc, always with the principals of permaculture. I finish one living yurt to live between I project an house...
it’s the beginning, for now I’m projecting a COB house to be the bath house, and an summer kitchen with wood oven for bread and pizza party’s. I already start to plant some trees, agroflorest , and a small garden to grow food.
In this beautiful land we have a dome geodesic which it’s my workshop with a big Solar system where can I work. Can be also some accommodation.
