  Description

  We live in Alpedrinha in the heart of Central Portugal and are looking for people who would like to help and live with us for a while.
  We are a non-profit association that opens meeting places for peaceful coexistence. With us, you will find a vibrant meeting place shaped by community and mutual respect.
  We are primarily looking for volunteers or small families who speak German or English and would like to support us in the kitchen, with household tasks, and in the garden. In return, we offer you a large caravan as a cozy accommodation, a shared kitchen, a shared bathroom with hot running water, and a well-developed infrastructure.
  Our place is nestled deep in nature, very remote, and wonderfully peaceful. There are no drugs and no excesses here. Instead, we cultivate a peaceful coexistence and respectful interaction with one another. If you are looking for a nature-connected place where genuine community can grow, then you’ve found the right spot with us.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  At our home in Alpedrinha, Central Portugal, we offer a rich and authentic cultural exchange in a peaceful, nature-immersed setting. Our place functions as a living Begegnungsort - a vibrant meeting point where people come together to connect, learn, and grow.
  Three times a week we host an alternative kids project.
  
  By living and working together in our small community, you will experience daily cultural exchange through:
  • Cooking meals together in our large community kitchen
  • Sharing stories, music, and traditions around the table
  • Collaborative garden and land work
  • Joint organization of small meetings and community activities
  • Deep conversations in a calm, respectful environment free from distractions
  We cultivate a mindful and peaceful atmosphere where genuine connections can develop. There is space for both quiet reflection and meaningful interaction. Many of our guests describe their stay as a refreshing break that combines practical work with personal growth.
  If you are looking for more than just volunteering if you value community, learning, and authentic human connection in a beautiful, remote corner of Portugal, you will feel very welcome here.

  Our place is beautifully nestled deep in nature, very remote and wonderfully quiet. Surrounded by greenery and peaceful landscapes, it is ideal for those seeking a calm, restorative environment. There is plenty of outdoor space to relax, read, or simply enjoy the sounds of nature.
  The accommodation is simple yet functional, emphasizing community living, sustainability, and a mindful lifestyle. It is best suited for women or small families who appreciate a peaceful setting with genuine human connection rather than luxury or party vibes.
