DIY Sanctuary in Lago, northern Portugal

Detalhes

• 

  Descrição

  We're a little family of young dreamers:
  Diane, witch, the crazy one who bought the place, started the dream, and sustains it.
  Marc, dwarf, garden master and co-investor who made the dream bigger.
  Youen/Omali, booboo, architect and project manager who makes things real.
  Sam and Leonie, handstand expert and herbalist helping us on all manual fronts.
  Joy, refugee artist slowing down.
  Pipuú, sudoku bichon, refugee creature with big pony dreams.
  We also have Tito, Lula, and Pumpkin who actively do their part of cuddles.
  
  We live together in a not so small paradise of 2,5 hectares of trees, old stones, and water that needs a lot of love, care, and sweat. We want to make it a sanctuary, a safe and sustainable heaven for individuals, projects, and eventually events. We are still at the beginning.
  
  The land is composed of a lot of spaces, old stone houses and other modern structures that need renovating, a watermill on the river, ponds, orchards, weird buildings, and a big field where we have planted a big vegetable garden and lots of baby trees. It is very hard to get an idea of it without being here, its magical atmosphere needs to be felt.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Culturally we are not a good vibe only kinda place, we value open communication and vulnerability. We feel close to the Burn community, queer community, integralism, ecology, tantra, circling, yoga, etc.
  You can learn a lot depending on which project you'll partake in, this project has a lot of layers that we're happy to explore with you.
  As a non-particularly-important information about us: Diane and Youen are French, Sam is Dutch, Leonie and Joy are German, Pipuu is Czech, Marc is a Berliner from Luxembourg, the cats are German, the dog is Portuguese :) we speak English together but a lot of languages are possible.

  Acomodação

  We are currently rethinking and planning the accommodation options because we're losing the main house to renovations. Depending on who's here we might have a 'room' or camping/glamping options. TBD.
  Possibility of camper vans.
