Description
Marie-Claire and Eric, we both are from Belgium and we create this "Association". We have allready a communal house with 2 sleepingrooms, bathroom,toilets, and a big (8m) yurt for activities. We developped allready a big garden and a foodforest. Our aim is to co-create a livingspace for 8 people and a place where people can come for retreats. A little bit of help is always welcome to maintain the garden, refreshing the house, preparing a garden for flowers and medicinal herbs, and make artistic improvements on the land.
The area is known for their beautifull paths for naturlovers, to walk. There are nice riverbeaches around the area, and Coimbra is about 45 minutes from our place
