  We Andrea and Gopi both come from Austria, where we have already implemented a project in which we used everything that others threw away to create a large garden with much different plants and living space for insects and animals. We broke it all up and sold it, to start the project here in Portugal 6 years ago.
  
  Every day we continue to realize our vision of creating and expanding an oasis of well-being. In the meantime, we have created a place that is open to life in order to bring plants, animals and people back into harmony! Due to our sustainability aspect, we have transported several containers full of used materials, here from Austria during this time. With these materials, we have realized the construction and expansion and are always working on creating something new. A conscious, economical use of all resources is very important to us.
  
  In order to further expand the dream of our "island of life", we need your help and invite you to participate in our project in Portugal / Penamacor and to help us realize our vision!
  
  The land is about 3 hectares and in the last 6 years, with the help of volunteers, friends and helpers, the following has been realized and implemented: 3 wells built, 3 stone house ruins (completely renovated, only interior work to be completed), bathhouse (only interior work to be completed), running water, electricity, outdoor kitchen, indoor kitchen (to be completed), sauna, workshop, storage, swimming pond, outdoor pool & shower and much more.
  
  We live here with the following animals: 4 dogs, 4-5 cats, currently 5 sheep and 2 horses.
  
  Our extensive garden has: Vines, many different trees (such as olives, apple, pear, fig, almond, khaki), 2 greenhouses (the third is currently under construction), vegetable garden, herb garden and much more.
  
  We have now put a few new photos online to show you what we have created with a lot of support.
  
  We would also like to thank to all the volunteers, friends and energetic helpers who made it possible for us, to realize and make this all happened.
  
  THANK YOU SO MUCH!
