Hi People
After some years of traveling i came to this amazing farm with my daughter to create a beautiful, harmonic & creative, green & self-sufficient homebase embedded with nature. I'm inspired by the many magical places I've visited in the World and dedicated to turn this Piece of Land into an Oasis and create Space for Plants, animals and People to heal , be and explore.
We two (36 & 14) are a young family accompanied by lovely animals: one Dog, 3 Horses, Cats and usually friends or guest's around at the land . It gets calmer towards autumn and silent in winter.
Here ( with us and in the Region) you will find Natural building, some permaculture, much openness to discuss mind altering substances as a tool, plenty of possiblities for good workshops or ceremonies close by, alternative ways of education & learning, lots of silence, starry Nights, animals, lovely people and the ocean is about 20 min to drive.the stunning wild coast of South - west Portugal and different amazing beaches, surf spots, typical south Portuguese small and bigger towns with lots of bars, cafes and an amazing, buzzing,international community around.
Close to my Land you can find an small lake to swim in the middle of old cork trees and gentle rolling hills.
The work on the land and I require physically and mentally stable people.
I expect help on 4-5 flexible hours on 5 days with a diligent workattitude.
A lot about my work happens on, with and around the land so I might be around the 2 hectar land mostly. Still I have things to Do, a daughter & a life and i won't be there all the time. sometimes I would love to show you some places or take you to events if you like.
We can enjoy some evenings beeing together and do whatever comes up,music or talking, fires or night walks or sunset beach or whatever and some evenings I will wanna spend on my own or only with my daughter.
Please feel into yourself and decide if you can enjoy yourself and be happy alone and independently sometime too.
When you apply please let me know which kind of help you offer. Thank you 💚
