Description
PORTUGAL : looking for inspiring projects to join ! Farms, permaculture projects, herbalist tasks... I am feeling a call to visit Portugal (the nerd that I am is planning to learn Portuguese) to see if it might be the place to call home for the next few years (meaning buying a piece of land to care for and protect or restore its ecosystem). I have a lot to learn and am eager to join your project to get inspired and meet new friends :)

Hi there !
I'm Laura (34yo), coming from Belgium !

I am a trauma-informed yoga teacher, specializing in sharing movement as medicine - for holistic health. I am also a somatic coach and reiki healer+teacher.

I've spent 2025 in Latin America to dedicate myself to learning harmonious ways to live with the earth, taking care of the soil and the plants.

I'm looking to take part of projects that have to do with Nature and animals - with a profound sense of care. I have started a herbalism training and am dreaming about creating medicine with the plants.

Books and poetry changed my life in 2024, especially the writer Stephen Harrod Buhner who introduced me to the world of plant medicine, and the poet David Whyte who continuously invites to be in conversation with everything around us.

I am desiring to plant my hands in the soil and learn to listen to nature :)
I'm looking for learning permaculture and harmonious ways to be in partnership with the land.

Bit more about me :
- I've been solo traveling since I'm 21,
- spent 4 years (2020 to 2024 in Asia, mainly Taiwan,
- have done all the partying in my twenties, the thirties are dedicated to LOVE and commitment to meaningful projects,
- I could never fit in the city and office job lifestyle and feel like I've found where I belong when I put my hands in the soil,
- absolute dog lover,
- write poetry - and read it outloud (when I'm alone ha),
- and am a total nerd.

I'd be happy to share more about me and my journey,
so don't hesitate to reach out and ask.

Warmly,
Laura.

I am so very thankful to Maria for trusting me and opening to door of her lovely place.

I had a very good time at the hostel :) I taught yoga for a month, 6 days a week, and the rest of my time was free - just as stated in the profile.
This place is a little family. I fell sick the first week I arrived and everyone took care of me (mind you, I couldn't even stand up). The communication with Emma (the current manager) was easy and… read more

Estuve 3 semanas en el proyecto de Javier y Catu; fue una experiencia muy interesante. Como ya se mencionó, Javier sabe mucho de permacultura y regeneración de suelos. Me encantó sentirme tan cerca de la naturaleza. El espacio de voluntariado es sencillo pero enriquecedor. La oportunidad de dormir a la altura de los árboles de maracuyá y papayo,… read more

Mi estancia con Juan Manuel y Juanita fue increíble. Sus personalidades son de un corazón grandioso, muy generosas y atentas.

I am so grateful to Yenny. She trusted me taking care of her cats while she was away, for two weeks, and then let me come back for another week (she ended up coming back to her place as well and I'm very happy we got a chance to meet and have some nourishing conversations). Yenny is a very caring soul, very empathetic. She has a very cozy space,… read more

It has been a couple of weeks she already left but my family still remember her very well.

I just said goodbye to them but it doesn't feel like a goodbye - more like a "I'll see you again, and I'll be carrying you all in my heart !".
