What we do

Environmental Nucleus of Associação Circuito Explosivo.
This project was born in 2016 with the desire to change some things in the world we live in!
We are a research center in the area of sustainability with training in permaculture, agroecology, regenerative agriculture, natural constructions, aquatic landscapes, personal development and much more.
The project is located in the municipality of Sintra, right on the border with the municipality of Mafra, close to Cheleiros.
When we got here we found a place, sad and abandoned, already with the marks of time. The peace and beauty of the place made us believe and well be with those who believe with us!
Our vision:
We believe in a better world!
We envision an ecologically balanced and abundant world respecting all forms of life.
We all believe that to see change we need to be part of it!
We believe that together we can make a difference in the environment around us.
Our mission:
By creating ecologically stable and abundant landscapes using agroecological techniques and principles we will have a healthy planet able to meet the needs of human beings (Water, food and shelter, energy).
Adequate training within the areas of agroecology, permaculture, and sustainability.
Our objective is not only to spread the seeds of what we believe in, but also to build a place that serves as an example of all these techniques that we use so that we can have a more sustainable life.
Our ethics and values:
take care of the earth
Take care of people

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.
