    Description

    This is a new Ecovillage project near Nelas, close to the Serra da Estrela Mountains, North of Central Portugal.
    We are looking for people to help develop the project and also to join as resident members!

    If you want to come and get to know us as a volunteer and potentially are interested in joining the project let us know, we can send you our website with more information on the land, vision, principles, becoming part of our cooperative and more.

    The project has been initiated by me, Hari, 35 from UK, after living in Portugal for almost 6 years working and learning with other permaculture and community projects.
    The vision is to create a place that enables a sustainable way of living from the land as a mutually supportive group.
    The design includes a common area, with shared facilities, and individual houses suitable for 10 to 20 long term adult residents, plus their children.
    The common area will include a shared kitchen, gardens, food forest, event spaces, spaces for the children, forest school, health space, temple, workshops, ateliers, studios, offices and more.

    I started the project in Summer 2022 and have been holding gatherings to launch the project and attract people who are interested in joining the project as residents. Two residents have since joined, and we have some financial support towards buying the land.
    We plan to hold more gatherings throughout the year and are looking for volunteers to help with these, and also at other times.

    We ask visitors and volunteers if they can accept these boundaries:

    Please no alcohol or recreational drugs (unless agreed as part of a ceremony, facilitated to serve the group)
    Not at all on site, and also not being on site under the noticeable influence. Ceremonies should be proposed to the group first.

    Please no smoking anywhere on site. You can smoke on the road just outside.

    Healthy vegan kitchen. Please no animal product foods, caffeine, processed sugar/snacks in the shared spaces and at shared meal times. You are free to eat what you want in private in your own space.

    It is possible and welcome to stay with us for a longer period of up to several months if we match.

    There is some flexibility for how to do the work exchange. We offer space to camp and park a campervan, and a tent if needed + basic plant based food.

    Our preference is to ask helpers to pay around 35 euros per week for food and gas, with a work exchange of 15 hours per week.
    If you eat less meals with us, we can agree a lower price each week.

    Alternatively, for those who are able to work without guidance for some of the work hours, we can offer a full work exchange of 25 hours per week, food included.
