Description
Hi there, we are Luisa and Ricardo an italian / brasilian family with 3 kids (8, 10 and 12) living in a land with 1.6 hectares.
We need help with regular phisical tasks like taking care of trees, vegetable gardening, cleaning the land and we are following as much as we can the principles of permaculture. Added to that, we have construction projects that change from time to time where you may learn different techniques.
Our land is situated inside a natural reserve in Algarve and we have a lovely caravan able to host 1 up to 2 volunteers ( a couple), at 8 minutes distance from Barão de São miguel, a tiny village, close to many beaches and walks in Mata Nacional. In this moment there are also 3 more people living in our land in 2 mobile homes.
Our background has intensive spiritual practice into meditation and we love to connect in a deeper level with people and maybe meditate together
