A experiência

Our project is a sustainably built and functional off grid retreat centre located in a valley where 2 rivers meet and not far from the Serra da Estrela Mountain Range (the highest point of mainland Portugal) which makes for dramatic beauty in nature. 🌳

Since 2017 we have welcomed Volunteers, it has been a pleasure to meet so many beautiful people from across the globe and we’re really grateful for all the helping hands! 🌎

Atividades & Turnos

The main focus is on keeping the space clean & nice for the retreats.
A 4-week minimum commitment during these months is essential.


Regras

There is some separation between life and work since most of the work tasks will be done at the retreat center, 20 hours/week.
The additional 5 hours are done at the House, mostly maintenance, gardening, and sometimes projects that improve the property. Volunteers cook meals together and maintain the living space. It's a gorgeous place to be in nature. Often Volunteers play games together and enjoy the surrounding areas on their time off.

Note: Rory and I live a healthy and yogic type lifestyle and personally do not drink alcohol. We don't mind if you have the occasional drink, but we ask that people keep it to a minimum to maintain a healthy and peaceful environment for all staying.

This is an *off-grid life* so for example, things that use a lot of electricity cannot be used when the sun is not out, the house is heated with a wood-burning stove.
