    Description

    We are at the beginning of our project. A regenerative laboratory, which is a base for projects with positive regenerative impact to launch, work within a growing network and thrive.
    Our aims are to regenerate the land here and extend the forest.
    Cultivate a thriving community.
    Assist in a transition in social, environmental and economical systems.

    At the moment we have a comfortable house to share on the edge of the forest.
    We are looking for people who can amplify our projects and who are looking for an experience in Spain.
    In the house we speak Spanish, English and sometimes Portuguese and German.
    Our background is in solar energy, impact investing, permaculture, massage and entrepreneurship.

    Upcoming and ongoing projects:
    - Planning and presenting the project to raise funds
    - Regular events to cultivate and grow the community
    - Permaculture design course, subsequent planting of Forest Garden
    - Compost toilets
    - Bioconstruction and reforming buildings
    - Aquaponics

    You´re welcome to join to help out in any of the projects. Depending on your skills we can talk about fair exchanges.
    Send us a message!
    We are previous workaway // WOOFers, so understand the importance of comfortable hosting and appreciate radical honesty.

    Looking forward to hearing from you!

    ** note our photos are from events, we are at the moment just 2 people living in the house, and many orbiting...who come and go sometimes staying a month or just a night!

    We are also looking for people to join our project long term and assist with the launch of the cooperative, planning for annual events, searching for solutions and assisting with documentation for finances, permissions on the land and working with a wider community. Get in touch for more info!
