About Us

hi,

Have you ever dreamed of living in a magnificent magical setting with like-minded/hearted people? I am creating a permaculture-based retreat sanctuary in Central Portugal where people are encouraged and supported to function at the highest level of their own potential. Here, people, plants and animals can live and to grow in harmony despite whatever is happening in the world around us. Emphasis is on consciously interacting in all aspects of (visible and invisible ) life with authentic kindness and consideration of self, other, world and Source.

“Vale d’Agua Viva” is becoming a gorgeous small retreat sanctuary /community in Central Portugal. It is located on a spit of land located between a river (Ciera) and a canal, where the Wisdom of the waters is an integral part of life.

The community is founded upon principles for psycho/spiritual existence which I have developed through a body of work I call “Living Inquiry”- living the inquiry of who we uniquely are and what we are doing on the planet at this time.
(See: Livinginquirymaui.com in the “about” section)

The Sanctuary will be hosting and producing workshops (Whole Human, mind/body/spirit) and events 1-2weeks per month. The remainder of the month is for building and maintaining the community and growing ourselves.

Applicants will directly respond to me as the founder/creator of this venture. Applicant will be housed in the workshop house - one of the three houses on the property. It is fully equipped and luxuriously comfortable in a beautiful setting.
