Community of Avalon

We are a conscious living community in the beautiful province of Castelo Branco in Portugal and our mission is to remember…
We are not working with nature, we are nature. This means remembering our natural state. When we remember that we are as much part of this Earth and the Universe, as every atom in our body is part of us, we also remember that life flows through us like it flows through all living things.
CONSCIOUS COMMUNITY
Avalon is a refuge from the hectic society most people know, a place to slow down and remember your nature, and a project for new ways of living.
We are building a community of people who are constantly willing to grow, evolve, and learn with and from each other. We do this by constantly improving the way we communicate, relate to each other, state our needs and desires, and live in a democratic way where everyone has equal rights.
The Avalon community is built up out of permanent residents, the core community, and people who visit for shorter or longer periods.
OUR CORE VALUES

• Truthful and open communication;
• Acceptance and compassion;
• Co-creation and mutual support;
• Active participation;
• Zero waste living.

These values create the pillars which uphold our sense of togetherness in community.
THE VISION OF AVALON
The longer-term vision includes expanding our community to become a holistic retreat center. We’re creating this through a a blend of applied permaculture design and eco-building using a ‘use what we have around us’ approach.
