What we do

The Awakened Life Project is dedicated to the evolution of consciousness and culture in communion with the ecological web of life. The location is a beautiful secluded mountain valley above a dramatic gorge of cascading waterfalls in an ecological reserve in Central Portugal. Residents are currently the founders Pete (UK) & Cynthia (USA) and Bernard (Belgium), Lucia (Portugal), Sandra (Germany), Joel (France), Alice (Ireland), Marco (Italy) and Katrin (Germany).
The Project is our creative response to the crisis of our tipping point times with the intent of being a beacon for our evolutionary future. Thus the foundation is a shared commitment to spiritual awakening and conscious evolution that embraces every dimension of who we are and how we choose to live.
Our approach is non-traditional and non-sectarian. All that is required is a sincere openness and interest in what it means to live in unity and trust in a developmental context. We believe that the consciousness of our age calls for us to live in communion with Nature, grounded in the peace of our Being (hence meditation is a foundation of our lives together), and, most importantly, in alignment with the Evolutionary Impulse or Divine Intelligence that seeks for the transformation of ourselves, our relationships and our world.
Offerings here include:
Meditation Retreats, both communal and solitary
Evolutionary Awakening Courses & Retreats
The Awakened Life Transformation Intensive

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
