Description
Olá, thanks for showing interest, let us give you a short introduction. We started this project in early 2022. Our idea is to build and provide a space for encounters and learning, a space in which people can share experiences and get new perspectives. In a not-so-distant future we want to host different cultural events, seminars and workshops. Along the way we want to build a community and a network of people around this idea, we are very curious about what else is to come…
The starting point for all of this, and hopefully much more, is a spacious old farm placed on gentle hills overlooking a valley full of vineyards. The farm is located close to Torres Vedras, about an hour away from Lisbon’s city centre and many beautiful beaches are within reach of a 30min car ride. About 12ha of land and a trio of an old main house, a little chapel and a barn make up the space. The houses have been abandoned for about 15 years before our arrival, now all of them need a full restoration. We want to maintain the old charm of the place, building on traditional and natural materials as much as possible. Ideally, the place will be cosy, comfortable, and reduced to what is crucial.
Who are we? We are Luna, Joas, Johannes and Julius. We appreciate everything pleasant life has to offer such as deep personal connections, honest discussions, a little party every now and then, and of course good food. We’re a very versatile team, have worked in different environments and organizations, and have managed our own little business projects. We have backgrounds in carpentry, innovation management, psychology and holistic health. This project has provided us with a lot of great learning opportunities so far, we're in a process of continuous experimentation and we invite you to experiment and learn with us.
Please let us know, if you have any further questions. We are very much looking forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Luna, Joas, Johannes & Julius

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
At the end of you stay you will hopefully feel the desire to return to this place. While you're here, we hope we can learn a thing or two from you and vice versa. We are interested in a lot of different things and are always keen to get to know new perspectives and approaches towards life. We believe learning is a mutual process, it's very much about a constant exchange of ideas. We are fluent in German, Dutch, English, and our Portuguese is getting better day by day.
Help
The list of potential tasks covers a variety of things. Daily tasks include building, gardening and all kinds of house chores, just to name a few…Currently we very focused on restoring some of the old wooden doors that need to be sanded and painted.
If you feel like being creative and see something that would enrich all our lives here, talk to us. Ideally you’re proactive, can work independently and you are handy. If you enjoy cooking every now and then, perfect! Let us know if there is anything else you that you like to do.
