  Description

  EN:
  Place of healing and transformation. Practices of healthy, sustainable life. earth regeneration.
  
  We are a famíly of 3.
  This is a place where the main family (Portugal/Ecuador) and other temporary inhabitants live. Place of ancestral healing practices, inspired by South America. With great focus on the regeneration of the territory, both physically and energetically.
  One of the focuses of this place is Regenerative Agriculture and natural construction. A much needed practice here in Europe. This is a very dry and malnourished place and we want, with your help, to prove that it is possible to have a regeneration of the soil using Permaculture practices and other disciplines. So the activities will be focused on the regeneration of the soil, internal and external (we have ceremonies with ancestral medicines). As well as on site maintenance (ecological construction), you will learn a lot about Permaculture, ecological construction, arts and crafts (one family member being a painter, another a Yoga and videography teacher).
  The days will be defined according to the volunteers, their interests, abilities and wishes. However, the tasks will be the basis of filling the soil with organic material, establishing irrigation systems, planting vegetables, trees, plants, flowers,... Taking care of the place, helping (if interested) to build/maintain some of the construction spaces natural and ecological. Participate in activities and therapies that regularly take place on site. To celebrate. With time to go to the beach, stroll through the beautiful places of the Algarve.
  Here we highly value the artistic dimension
  So music, crafts, painting, cooking are regular activities. At any time during the full moon, we join around the fire to sing, play instruments, do sauna therapies, yoga classes, Permaculture workshops, organic farming, agroforestry, conversations, circles, events in general. We will have a few things happening occasionally on site. Since we also value rest, silence, peace of mind. There is a time to laugh, there is a time to sing, there is a time to work and there is also a time to rest. It is possible to go hiking/running in the surroundings. Since the location is relatively close to other houses/roads/Village.
  
  Práticas de vida saudável, sustentável. Regeneração da Terra
  
  Este é um lugar onde vive a família principal (Portugal/Ecuador) e outros habitantes temporários. Local de práticas de cura ancestral, de inspiração da América do Sul. Com grande foco na regeneração do território, quer fisicamente quer energeticamente.
  Um dos focos deste lugar é a Agricultura Regenerativa e construção natural. Uma prática muito necessária aqui na Europa. Este é um lugar bem seco e desnutrido e queremos, com a vossa ajuda, provar que é possível haver uma regeneração do solo recorrendo a práticas da Permacultura e outras disciplinas. Então as atividades serão focadas na regeneração do solo, interno e externo (temos cerimónias com medicinas ancestrais). Bem como na manutenção do local (construção ecológica), vão aprender muito sobre Permacultura, construção ecológica, artes e artesanato (sendo que um dos membros da família é pintor, outro professor de Yoga e videografia).
  Os dias serão definidos em função dos voluntários, seus interesses, capacidades e vontades. Contudo as tarefas serão a base de encher o solo de material orgânico, estabelecer sistemas de rega, plantar vegetais, árvores, plantas, flores,... Cuidar do lugar, ajudar (se tem interesse) a construir/manter alguns dos espaços de construção natural e ecológica. Participar nas atividades e terapias que acontecem regularmente no local. Celebrar. Com tempo para ir a praia, passear pelos belos lugares do Algarve.
  Aqui valorizamos muito a dimensão artística
  Então a música, o artesanato, a pintura, a cozinha são atividades regulares. A qualquer momento na lua cheia juntamo-nos a volta do fogo para cantar, tocar instrumentos, faremos terapias de sauna, aulas de yoga, workshops de Permacultura, agricultura biológica, agrofloresta, conversas, circulos, eventos em geral. Teremos algumas coisas ocasionalmente a acontecer no local. Sendo que valorizamos também o descanso, o silêncio, a paz de espírito. Há um tempo para rir, já uma tempo para cantar, há um tempo para trabalhar e há também um tempo para descansar. É possível fazer caminhadas/corridas nos arredores. Sendo que o local se encontra relativamente perto de outras casas/estradas/Vila.
