What we do

Our Origin & VisionWe are a conscious family pack of five—Alci, Lara, our young daughter Selva, Mango (our dog ), and Nana (our cat )—driven by a profound call to return to the land and live in deep harmony with nature. After years of individual paths in ecology, spiritual teachings, and art, we are ready to seed a regenerative, self-sufficient eco-haven in Central Portugal. We believe that true sustainability blends earth regeneration with inner human growth and deep respect for all living beings. We are not just looking for land; we are looking for a soul-family to co-invest, co-buy, and co-create a thriving ecosystem from scratch.
Our Pillars & Principles

  • Earth Care (Regeneration): We apply Permaculture Design (PDC) and Syntropic Agroforestry to heal the soil. Having previously managed a 4-hectare food forest in Catalonia, we know how to turn land into an abundant edible landscape.
  • Inner Care (Mindfulness): Guided by Lara’s background as a Vedanta and Yoga teacher, we prioritize self-knowledge, spiritual alignment, and conscious parenting to foster a peaceful daily life.
  • All-Beings Respect: Our animal companions are core family members. We build spaces where children, plants, and animals co-exist in safety and balance.
  • Creative Expression: We use art, bioconstruction, and professional photography to document our journey and celebrate community living.

What We Aspire To TogetherOur ultimate goal is to build a vibrant, off-grid community where children can grow up wild and safe, and where every member contributes their unique gifts. We envision an abundant space featuring collaborative housing, shared spaces for workshops and wellness, and a thriving syntropic forest that feeds us.
If you want to co-buy land in Portugal and partner with an active family that brings the practical, agricultural, and holistic skills to make it real—let’s join forces. Together, we can turn a piece of land into a sanctuary.

How to join

How to Join Our Journey.
We are looking for conscious, proactive families who want to pool funds (with a minimum budget of €50k+ per family) to co-buy a house to renovate with land in Central Portugal. If you resonate with our lifestyle—combining permaculture, syntropic farming, bioconstruction, and holistic wellness (Yoga/Vedanta)—and you want to co-create an abundant eco-community from scratch, we would love to meet you!Here are the steps to connect and join our project:
Step 1: The Initial ConnectionSend us an email or a message here on GEN introducing your family. Please tell us briefly about your background, what skills or energy you want to bring to the community, and confirm your alignment with our goal of co-purchasing and renovating a property together.
Step 2: Video Call & AlignmentWe will schedule an online video call to get to know each other, share our visions, discuss the legal structures for co-buying land in Portugal, and see if our energies and family dynamics match.
Step 3: The Gathering (In-Person Meetup)Before making any financial or land-purchase decisions, we believe it is vital to meet in person, share food, and spend time together (including our children and animals) to build true community trust.If you are ready to invest, step into a self-sufficient lifestyle, and co-create a beautiful sanctuary, please reach out to us today. Let’s make this dream a physical reality!

Festival en familia

Este año queríamos darle un toque diferente a nuestras jornadas de educación. Pensamos que encuentros centrados principalmente en un intercambio de información para adultos hay muchos, por lo que en esta ocasión pretendemos darle mucha importancia a nuestr@s hij@s. Queremos que vengan niñ@s de todas las edades por eso la inscripción hasta los 16 años es gratuita para ell@s; así que nos hemos puesto manos a la obra para crear un campamento familiar donde podamos disfrutar de realizar actividades creativas juanto a nuestr@s hij@s y en un entorno natural inigualable, todo ello sin dejar de lado la estructura de encuentro como la de años anteriores donde invitaremos a colectivos y profesionales para que compartan sus experiencias y visiones con nosotros. Tendremos una comida sana y casera (avisad vegetarianos, veganos, alérgicos…) durante vuestra estancia y el alojamiento sera en una amplia zona de acampada donde podréis montar vuestras tiendas, allí conviviremos durante 5 días. Traed vuestros cubiertos, platos y vasos por favor, a nosotr@s nos es de gran ayuda en los eventos en los que hay que atender a mucha gente. La Recepcion de l@s participantes comenzara el día 5 de julio a partir de las 16:00 ( no pasa nada si llegáis un poco antes) y el evento finaliza tras la comida del día 10 de Julio. Iremos colgando las novedades sobre el festival en nuestro blog para teneros informad@s. ¡¡ Nos vemos pronto en el valle!! Organizador km28 Email: co******@**28.org
