Olá, calling for some help in Central Portugal. We have a rural land next to a lake. Part of it I have been rewilding to protect the original Nature. I'm a Portuguese female in my late forties. I returned to Portugal after living in the UK for several years (to be honest, I'm still adjusting to living again in Portugal, not an easy country... :) After the big storm, the land became a bit of a chaos with fallen trees and branches. Most of the clearing of the branches is done. But still there is a lot to be done, to decrease the risk of fires. I need an extra pair of hands to help with the clearing of the land. I just need a person to come for the day to help for one or two hours, whatever you can give. The rest of the day you can enjoy yourself as you please, in the lake or walking around. The main tasks I would like help with: * Being present for safety * Moving branches around (to tidy them away or to give to me while I´m shredding them) * Moving the shredded material away (wi...

Hi my name is Jasmine, I am one part of a collective of soul aligned individuals, who are called to co create a nature immersive container for healing, celebration and connection. We are in the early stages of the volunteer program, but my personal experience from hosting volunteers over the last few years, in my previous eco project, means that I am well aware of the importance of valuing the team, making sure that you feel welcome, that you are well fed and that you have a comfortable space . I like to be clear in my communication, so that you know what is expected of you in regard to your hours of work and your time off. It is also very important to me that you have a good time and enjoy the beauty of the local area and have some good company. This an 11 hectare nature sanctuary, with beautifully constructed eco structures that have been built and lovingly cared for by the late Bob Dixon, who is now no longer with us, after passing into spirit in 2023.

We are a family living in the SW Alentejo, Costa Vicentina, running a small rescue horse sanctuary in the middle of a forest, 12km from the ocean. Our main passion is the care and rehabilitation of rescued horses, providing them with a safe and loving home for life. We also do pedagogical work with teenagers, and in the winter season we work with medicinal & entheogenic mushrooms. We are currently in need of immediate help during the rest of June and the first 3 weeks in July! Their involvement is purely in the day-to-day care of our rescue horses and general upkeep of the sanctuary. We welcome you even if horse work isn't your main focus, there's always something to do around the property. Horses will always be around, and you'll have plenty of opportunity to connect with them. We're looking for people who love being around animals and enjoy working outdoors. If you enjoy simple hands-on tasks like helping maintain fences, clearing paths, basic gardening or forestry work, you'll f...

Hello everyone, I'm Mick, 43 years old, originally from the Italian Alps. After many years of travelling, the desire to slow down and create my own little harbour became stronger than ever. Seven years ago, I decided to settle down and buy a small farm in Portugal, where I now live together with my dog, cat, geese, chickens and ducks. The project originally started with my ex-girlfriend, and today I continue the journey on my own. The land is about two hectares and offers plenty of space to share with good-hearted and like-minded people. A beautiful river borders the property, there are natural springs with excellent drinking water, and we are surrounded by native forest. The nearest town with shops and amenities is only a 10–15 minute drive away. My vision is to live in harmony with nature and create a simple and respectful lifestyle, following permaculture principles and moving step by step towards greater self-sufficiency. At the moment, I am deeply involved in restoring and co...

Could your hands be the ones to help us rescue our ‘Secret Garden’? Are you a van-lifer, camper or yurt dweller looking for a special spot to dwell, in exchange for a few hours of your time each week? Would you like to see HOW we are working to make the transition from surviving to thriving? Would you like to spend time in the beautiful Serra da Lousã region, with its many river beaches, walks, waterfalls and delicious local produce? Would you like to be the first to live in a new cob tiny house? If so, do get in touch with us, we’d love to hear from you… We (a couple from the UK with our 13-year-old son), have realised our dream of moving to Portugal and now we need your help to transform our land from overgrown garden destroyed by wild boar to the lush, productive, permaculture paradise we know it can be! You can see some of the damage they have done in the photos. We are building a cob tiny house too (see the photos) which will offer loads of interesting experiences for th...

Boy, we were so lucky to land this property and we may call this our home.......but it needs some TLC! So during the fires of 2017 basically everything was destroyed. Only the cork oak trees were resistant enough. We have beautiful old cork oaks on the property and one is crowned as the Kind Tree. It is a massive cork oak leaning into the valley. We built a yoga platform around it and the platform leans over the valley. The energy is magical. But that is just one thing and we are talking about a massive farm with 38H of land.......So we aim for the farm to be a stand alone in terms of water and power plus we also want to honor the virgin water springs and keep chemicals and plastics out. We have our own septic tanks and reuse the waist for regrowing the forest. The meadows are being reinstated and the houses (8 in total) will be rebuilt. In the meantime we do also enjoy what the property offers. Long hikes, a swim in our own lake, discovery of yet another beautiful ruin and how about ...

Helpers have their own bungalow by the ocean, with access to a kitchen where they can cook their own food, living room area with wifi, as well as bathroom area with a washing machine! In return we ask for help with two big dogs Bob and Bill, they need a lot of attention and long walks to the beach and around the trails by the ocean and the nearby forest area also, there are many beautiful places to walk with them and enjoy amazing sites and views around Azenhas do Mar which is a very charming area. With all the necessary conveniences. We also need help with cleaning the garden area and other chores. We always like to have a few voice calls with helpers before to make sure everyone feels happy and content with the situation and with each other's needs. Its has been a very interesting cultural exchange with also quite alot of opportunities to explore diverse sceneries and histories from Sintra, to Cascais to Lisbon which are all quite close making it a magical location!

Hi and welcome to Portugal! My name is Mike, a very active 55 years young, and I own 1.5 hectares of off-grid loveliness near Castelo Branco in central Portugal. It's a beautiful place - rugged, wild and free with great mountain views. This project was originally set up in the UK as a safe and chilled space at festivals to help people who may have done too much, lost their friends, or who were simply not up for a full-on party. A place were anyone can meet and make connections, and relax with people from all walks of life. We have travellers from all over the world and the dynamic is always changing, we love artists and musicians and anyone with a unique style or talent but as long as you're fun I'm sure you'll fit in and maybe you will learn something new and exciting! Our aim is to bring a little of that festival vibe here to Portugal, on a smaller scale. A haven to gather your thoughts, relax, and enjoy nature but at the same time have the opportunity to interact with others, exp...

Hey 🌞 Calling in conscious , aware, pro active , conscientious human/s who can take initiative and live and love this place and the animals that reside here , as their own . Essentially this is a long term opportunity that requires energy and input to improve the conditions and life for yourself and future generations. If the dynamics work then I would very much be open to a semi/ permanent situation. I am mostly not going to be here and so this is for those of you who envisage taking on a farmstead and all the things that come with it and so experience with horses goats dogs chickens etc would be a definite must . Plus the ability to live lightly as this is an off grid property . There is ample space for growing a garden , although t the storms earlier this year mean that new fencing is required . If you have building skills there’s potential for paid work and also the opportunity to build a space of your own ….if you are a creative feel free to make your mark … all good energy is ...

Hey there! This is a place where stray dogs get a second chance and you would be a major part of it! We are located in Portugal at the beautiful Algarve and are always looking for helpers who are experienced with dogs. The Experience Our private dog rescue started 15 years ago as a small foster home on our former horse farm. Over time, it developed into an organization that has helped more than 2,500 dogs find a new home since 2018. Our dogs live naturally in packs — around 60 adult dogs and about 20 puppies. Many of them transform within just a few days from fearful or traumatized animals into relaxed and social companions. This calm atmosphere is one of the biggest differences compared to many traditional shelters. As a true passion project, we are funded through our own resources, donations, partnerships, and government support. Program Details Our goal is to help as many dogs as possible find sustainable, loving homes. We work with eight municipal shelters across Portugal. Mos...

“The whole is more than the sum of its parts”. We are relaxed, open-minded and see life as an ongoing learning experience. Our project was born from the idea that ‘You have to be the change that you want to see in the world’ (Ghandi) and our approach is professional, based on respect, trust and integrity. To create an economical basis to live here and to maintain and develop the estate, we have created a unique, sustainable, artistic rural retreat, receiving guests from all over the world. Over the past period we have been investing in sustainability (heat pumps, more solar panels) and now (2025) we want to focus more on the development and regeneration of the 12-ha land and integrating aspects that we think are most important to life as we see it. Not in the last place in view of the current climate situation, it is not sufficient to be only sustainable, we must focus on water harvesting, regenerating the soil (regenerative agriculture, agroforestry). We have several gardens, orchard...

Welcome to my peaceful Quinta Vereda do Sossego in the rolling hills of central Portugal where the shepherds still walk their sheep through the olive fields! I live on 1.5 hectares of land with over 100 olive trees, amazing views onto the mountains, and a dream: to turn this place into a small, mindful sanctuary. Inspired by my time in a mindfulness community in Thailand (New Life Foundation, now closed), I’m slowly recreating that essence here. A space for presence, creativity, permaculture, simple routine and conscious living. I've build a guest building with compost toilet/shower/kitchen so I can accommodate some more lovely people here long term. From mindful volunteers to adventurous van-lifers to community seekers, I'm hoping to attract people who wanna connect and also love this kind of life. I practice mindfulnes, foraging, gardening, plant propagation, cooking, studying permaculture, and working to create a biodiverse ecosystem and welcoming spaces for guests and volunteer...
