Co-create a magical, conscious place at our wonderful little farm near Vila do Mato, Portugal

  Descrição

  I am Pierre-Emmanuel and this project has been in my mind since I was 15 years old. It took about thirty years for the dream to become reality. The goal was nature, nature and nothing but nature.
  
  We are gradually settling on a 4 hectare plot of land in the middle of nature.
  The space is spread out in different terraces that go down to the Mondego river. We are located near the village of Vila do Mato, off the grid and completely autonomous in water and electricity. A spring provides us with drinking water and several wells ensure the reserves for the irrigation of future crops. The Seia River also flows below the property and offers a beautiful waterfall just a few minutes walk away. The beach and a cove for swimming are also nearby.
  The farm has three access roads via relatively chaotic tracks. It is possible to get to our house with a normal vehicle, but it can be a bit intense if you are not used to it.
  
  Our project is to set up a retreat centre to reconnect with our deepest nature through body practices (Yoga, Qi Gong, earth work...), spiritual and energetic practices (meditation, pranayama, shamanism...) and the magic of group work. The setting and the space of the place contribute to the return to oneself and to simplicity.
  
  We already have a good base with several renovated buildings, dry toilets, a nice bathroom for Workawayers, wifi, pure water, solar energy and nice accommodation spaces.

  Ajuda

  We are expecting 5 hours of help per day, 5 days a week
  
  In general, we are looking for help with gardening, grounds maintenance, ongoing construction, seasonal tasks (harvesting olives, pruning trees and vines, helping in the vegetable garden...), developing a playground, helping with the children and the house.
  
  Please take in consideration that farming includes physical hard tasks. So you should be prepared to work as hard as we do. If you have any reservation about intense physical work, this project is probably not for you.
  If you have any interest to put your creativity at the service of growing things, and if you are enthousiastic, we look forward to hear from your inspiration.
  
  Our place is drug free and if you are smoker, we will ask you to always smoke cigarets at specific spots and to be very careful with the risk of fire.
  
  (Please note: you will need to have your own travel and health insurance as we do not provide this)

  Acomodação

  Depending on how many persons are already there, this can be either in rooms or in tents.
  You have a bathroom with a shower and hot water.
  The 3 meals offered each day are taken together and are also prepared together.
  There are no snacks between meals.
  The dishes as well as the rest of the daily tasks are done together.
  The helping hours are fixed and start after the morning practices, which you can join, and the breakfast.
  
  The meals are healthy and balanced. Most of the products used are organic. We cannot prepare meals for special diets (vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, etc.). As long as this does not represent additional work or costs, we can make some slight adaptations.

  Algo mais...

  In your free time, it is possible to go for a swim in the Mondego River. You can go for a nice walk in the surroundings. It is also possible to rent a bicycle to visit an incredible megalithic site a few kilometres from the farm... or simply to discover the surroundings.
  
  If there is a course during your stay, you can also join in some activities in your free time (yoga classes, massages, Qi Gong...)
  
  It is possible to access the property with a vehicle. Several parking options are available. It is also possible to arrive via the railway station of Carregal do Sal (or by bus) where we can pick you up.
  
  We are about 20 minutes from Carregal do Sal, 30 minutes from Tabua and 10 minutes from Vila do Mato.
