Description
This is a non-profit association that aims to promote environmental, social and personal and community development actions, in addition to the development of activities in the field of awareness, research, training, experimentation, promotion and production of artistic and cultural events.
The association develops a regular programme of interdisciplinary nature, meeting the wishes and needs of all members in a partnership work, promoting the territory and empowering its agents.
A movement
Based in Ourondo, Covilhã, Portugal , idealised and created by Luciano, it seeks to develop three fundamental axes of human growth and its relationship with the environment: ART, NATURE and WELL-BEING. Although our activity extends throughout the Portuguese territory, our roots - and our ambitions - will always be linked to Ourondo, where we want to work continuously on the development of a project, sharing knowledge across borders, gathering diverse cultural and social expressions, and fostering harmony with nature and the practice of environmentally sustainable activities.
We want to create and support groups that share the same energetic, agricultural, technological, artistic and healing vision, a human network united by the same principles and actions. To achieve this we rely on a team of professionals and the contribution of our associates, in addition to the work we do with volunteers.
We would therefore like to invite you to join our large family, showing you some of the projects we do and the structure of our association, always open to all who want to share this community spirit. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We organise retreats focusing on shamanism and physical and spiritual wellbeing, clown workshops, artist residencies...
There is no help with paying guests (retreats) or maintenance of spaces used by paying guests is requested from volunteers.
Workaway participants will benefit from a cultural exchange during their stay here in thenature reserve, through the opportunity to take part in the activities and retreats we organise every month. As part of this travelling community, they will also be able to meet and exchange ideas with the various people who visit us.
Whenever possible, they will be able to observe some of the processes and even take part in training sessions and retreats, ranging from art to shamanism, from permaculture design to its practical application, forming working groups that help build the place
Thus, through this communal way of living and working, you will be able to feel part of the family, working as a team, co-creating, whilst at the same time learning about Art and Permaculture, Shamanism and Community Culture – and those who visit us will always have something to teach! -
Help
Helping with permaculture design, watering the vegetable patch and garden, tidying and cleaning the house and other areas, etc.
