Description
Hello,
If you want to spend some time on a small farm with a spiritual background ( ZEN ) you are mostly welcome by Emilia Carl and Annette. We live in beautiful nature, 8 Km from the atlantic ocean (southcoast) and 1 Km from a fantastic, colorful, multiculti little village, called Barão de São João. Annette´s main work is growing chilis. At the moment we have 25 diff. varieties of chilis from all over the world. We do oil, powder, pastes, remedies etc. All organic. Annette is selling the products on the local farmer market in Lagos. Byside the chilis we grow vegetables and we do our own vine. You would stay in a nice big caravan with an seperate kitchen and dining area. Warm shower with a great view and a compost toilet outside. We have two sympatic dogs and cats and some chickens. Carl is a Tai Ji teacher and you would have the possibility to practice with him. We like to share our place with you and it would be great receving your helping hands.

I spent about 10 days with Carl and Annette and enjoyed every bit of it. The whole experience of living in a farm with birds chirping , wind blowing and simply breathing fresh air away from the hectic city life is an adventure.

WOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!
This was really a great experience!

If you search for a good workaway spot in the Algarve, you can look futher, but it would just be waste of time :)

The first thing I should say is that this place is actually nothing special. Just a lovely family which can use some help in maintaining their garden. No big spiritual community,… read more no big organic farm, no special animals to take care of.
Buuuuuut....

- the hosts are amazing!. I met a lot of different kind of people in this world, but rarely I meet such natural people. I had a lot of interesting conversations with them, about...everything. There are no taboes are secrets, no masks or disguises. These down-to-earth and open minded people are ready to talk about all kind of things. From the first day on they really made me feel home.

- Since I am a person who also needs a lot of personal time, this was a perfect place for getting in contact with myself in the personal space I got.
First of all there is the caravan which gave me a lot of privacy to sleep, cook, read, sit, think,....
On the second place there is the zendo which is almost all the time available to do meditation, yoga,...
But on the third place, and probably the most important part is the contact with the hosts. It is very easy to establish a natural balance between individual and shared time.

- I didn't do an effort to learn Portuguese, but i do remember the word 'perfeito', which I can use to describe the location. It is very rural, which gives a lot of good opportunities to have nice and quite walks in the little villages around, the national park,....
But since it is only 8km to the city lagos, you can also spend a lot of time there enjoying the beautiful beaches, coastlines and old historic city.
It is very easy to get a hitch-hike, so no problems to get there.

- The work atmosphere is really great, because everything happens in such a relaxed and peaceful way. It is quite a big land, so there is always something to do. They expect you to work 5 hours a day in 5 days a week, but you have total freedom in the way you divide these hours throughout the days.
Please, don't go here for a super lazy holiday, and make it a fair exchange, because they deserve it :)

- Almost every morning they do zazen (a form of meditation) which happens often in a group. If you are familiar with this practice, join and enjoy :) If you are not all spiritual or interested in meditation, just stay longer in your bed. But I would suggest you to do at least one session together with them. So at least one time in your life you can experience how difficult it is for us to be in control of our own thoughts and emotions. (Which is exactly one of the reasons why a daily meditation can change your life)

There or so many positive things to say about this place, but you can discover them by yourself :)

Have a nice stay!!!

I spent about two weeks with Carl and Annette at their home close to Lagos. The community in the town is an interesting mix of German, French, and English expats together with Portuguese families of course. I was able to really relax and clear my mind working in the garden or reading in the caravan. I had the opportunity to go to the beach often… read more
