  Description

  Hello EVERYONES!!
  
  We are LIGIA,TOMÉ, ZÉZÉ and PEPE!
  Our family is part of a group of 57 beings from all over the world, that got themselves together in an amazing valley to experiment a more conscious and cooperative action in this planet.
  2011 was the start of our big adventure, we start 17 people and together we bought 40ha of land in the Beira Alta area of Portugal. Slowly slowly we've been growing in our resilience!! Especially the KIDS :)
  It is a very interesting project, that energies flow from the individual towards the collective!! 
  We are still setting the physical, emotional and spiritual bases of our common spaces. ... Our foundations are pretty much settled on giving the space that actions start organically with the respect of everyones timings!
  We are Dreamers and life followers, having like everyone in everywhere big challenges :) but for sure doing our best!!
  
  We are a family of 1 adults (MAMA), 2 young adults (23) and a kid (11) , 1 dog (HiperiCÃO) and some chickens.
  We are now in the process of building a new nest in community!! and it has been a really nice experience!!
  We want to dedicate our time and energy on this family new beggining this year, thats one of the reasons we need your help a lot!!
  
  We arrived in 2016 in our sweet paradise, since than we been experiencing loads of challenges regarding peace and happiness. Trying out collective cooperations, nurture authentic relationships, and hold our true essence, in the middle of pure nature, where silence constantly asks for reflection! MEANS...a lot of inner work! But it's definitely worth it.
  Its not always easy as they say in the fairy tales!! I can tell you... but it is very important to remind us constantly that this is the DREAM and this is what we choose for ourselves :D
  
  The 40 hc of land is pure and wild, has 1,5 km of river that crosses the valley with one waterfall most of the year.
  We can count now 17 houses. 36 Adults and 21 children.
  The farm is 3 km away from the nearest village, which is very very small. So for shopping and different needs we go to "Sátão" the bigger village that is 11 km from us.
  We are in the mountains so sometimes is fresh :) specially after sunset, but it is possible to put a tent or arrive by campervan.
  
  We try as much as we can to be off-the-grid, so we have:
  - renewable energies as a source of electricity,
  - 1 compost toilets
  - nice hammocks
  - super cozy corners in the woods that's for sure!!
  
  I can tell you a little bit about our greatest gifts, but the rest you will have to come here and see, hear and feel for yourselves, hehehehehe
  One of my great passions (Ligia) is the collaborative work between different beings, so I have been deepening my studies and practices in Sociocracy 3.0, a social tool for the evolution of resilient projects where the tensions in the groups are always evaluated as collective wisdom that intends to emerge. It's an art of collaboration that I've applied in most of the projects I'm involved in, and I recommend it to everyone.
  
  Important info for you to know is that we check the messages only twice a day.. one in the morning to see if there is important stuff and other in the evening to reply what needs to!!"
  
  Now we have this missions:
  - Working in garden !!  :) we have a big beautiful garden! We do it biological and we try to do some biodynamic also!!
  - Help in the kitchen !
  - Prepare to transform fresh veggies to conserves so we have food in winter time also!
  - Start the structure for an Agroforest, so is ready for the next autumn.
  - A big beautifull forest to clean.
  - Building light straw walls
  etc...
  
  Our preferences are:
  To host 2/4 helpers at the time!! 
  That helpers stay minimum 1 week!
  Work 5 hours p-day (but we can always see the group dynamic, it changes all the time!! ) :) 
  
  If you think it might be an experience for you and you are willing to help us please let us know soon in order to make a more realistic and proper plan for all of us!
  You can arrive any day till 8pm to Satão that is 11 km from us and we can pick you up!

  Please communicate your intentions at least 1 week before you're coming.
  Thank you, even if only use your time to Read US :)
  with Love, 
  Li, Pepe, Zeze and Tomé
