  Description

  Hello, We are Ami & Samy.
  
  Our project was born out of our mutual dream to live close to nature, completely off-grid, with a self-sustained but comfortable regenerative lifestyle. We found our dream land in Alentejo, between the picturesque hills of Cercal do Alentejo and the stunning beaches of Porto Covo. We started out from scratch, as there was nothing on the land, and planted thousands of trees and plants to regenerate the soil. We built some amazing structures like the Zome temple for gatherings, concerts, retreats and other events, as well as a specious Kitchen area and hangout space, a stage for bigger events and festivals, a few comfortable toilets and showers, and many wooden platforms for our glamping tents to host our guests. We use solar power as our energy source and we get water straight from the land. We installed smart filter systems ( for both gray and black water) in order to filter the water and recycle it all back to the land via the irrigation system.
  
  We are currently looking for three positions:
  1. A chef and/or sous chef to cook healthy meals for our retreat participants. You will need to have experience with cooking for at least 30 people. We offer is only relevant if you could stay with us from the 20th of September till November 1th. More details below.
  2. A qualified person who can help us with our bookings outreach to experienced retreat leaders around the world and particularly in Portugal. The idea is to curate our offerings in a way that will suit our project´s needs (more details bellow). We like to encourage and inspire our team to grow and expend their own talents during their time with us, and we love to share this magic land with others.
  3. An experienced person to help us around the house with cooking, cleaning and taking care of our 4 year boy. Driving license is required. This offer is for long term (the longer the better) starting immediately. More details below.
  This is a paid position, between 415-830€ a month, inline with the minimum wage and reflecting the working hours of full or part time work.
  
  Much more to say, but If what you read here resonates with you, please feel free to get in touch with us and we´ll take it from there.
  
  Looking forward to hear from you!
  
  Ami & Samy

  Our retreat center is open from Mid April till Mid November, however, this particular positions are reaching beyond our season and is more of an all year long type. Either way we only take long term people who can stay longer than 2 months. We hope you understand.
  
  The 3 positions:
  
  1. A talented chef to stay and work with us on the land, leading the kitchen and cooking healthy, presentable meals for our guests. Must have experience cooking for 30 people. Salary starts at 900€ and could get much higher depending on the working hours and experience. Accommodations and 3 meals a day are included.
  
  2. We would love to hear from good vibe and experienced people who can help us with curating our retreats by attracting the right kind of retreat leaders with strong followings, who are experienced with longer retreats and trainings, and who are long enough in the field to be able to fill up their retreats with around 20-22 people (our max capacity as a boutique retreat center).
  This position could include: Booking management, social media content outreach, newsletter outreach, personal targeted outreach by emails or phone calls, and any other creative ideas you might have to succeed in your role.
  This role could be done while staying with us and working on the land as part of our crew. However, we are open to other ways of working including long distance work with occasional visits and stays on the land with our crew.
  This is a paid position, between 500€ and 830€ per month (depending on your abilities and the time you are willing to invest as well as if you stay with us on the land or not) plus a big incentive which can be discussed on.
  
  3. Would love to hear from you if you have experience in taking care of a house hold as well as taking care of small kids (our son is 4 years old). The idea is that you will stay with us on the farm and take care of our household while we work. This position will require you to be able to clean, cook and babysit our 4 year old son (and occasionally drive him to kindergarten). Ideally you already have a car or at least have the wish to get one in the near future. Either way, driving license is a must.
  
  This is a paid position, between 415-830€ a month, inline with the minimum wage and reflecting the working hours of full or part time work.
  
  If you chose to stay with us you will be living in a beautiful countryside environment surrounded by nature and animals, just 15 min drive from stunning beaches, 20min walk from the lake, and if you surf, you will find some of the best breaks in Portugal very close by. We also frequently let our team join some of the activities that we host on the land. It could be taking part in some of the activities offered in the retreats or take part in some of the events we host (concerts, one day workshops of all sorts and others). However, this part is very much subjected to the leaders of the retreats, their willingness and invitation.
