What we do

SatVillage is an intentional, nature-immersed community in Portugal created for families and individuals seeking a more conscious, meaningful, and connected way of life. The project emerged from a shared vision to move beyond the stresses of modern society and create a place where people can live in greater alignment with their values, their wellbeing, and their heart’s desire.
Our mission is to create a thriving nature-immersed community where families and individuals live a conscious and intentional life in connection with their heart’s desire. We believe that a fulfilling life is supported by meaningful relationships, connection to nature, personal growth, health, and a strong sense of purpose.
SatVillage is founded on principles of conscious living, community, authenticity, mutual respect, sustainability, and personal responsibility. We aspire to cultivate an environment where people support one another while honoring individual freedom and diversity. Through shared spaces, community activities, regenerative land stewardship, and opportunities for learning and self-development, we seek to foster a culture of connection, wellbeing, and belonging.
Together, we are creating a living example of a community where people can slow down, reconnect with what truly matters, raise families in a supportive environment, and contribute their unique gifts to a flourishing collective. Our aspiration is to demonstrate that it is possible to live in harmony with nature, with one another, and with ourselves while creating a vibrant, resilient, and heart-centered future.

How to join

If you would like to join SatVillage, the first step is to explore the project in depth through our website. We highly recommend reading our blog articles and listening to the podcast, where we share our vision, values, and how we envision daily life within the community.
When you feel aligned with the project, you can submit an application form directly on our website. This form helps us understand who you are, your personal background, and, if applicable, your family situation, as well as your motivations and intentions for joining SatVillage.
After reviewing your application, the next step is an introductory video call, which you can schedule through our website. This conversation is an opportunity for mutual introduction, to ask questions, and to explore alignment between your expectations and the vision of the project.
As SatVillage is currently in its pre-sale phase, this process is designed to connect with future community members before the physical construction of the village begins. It allows us to build relationships early and ensure that those who join are truly resonating with the lifestyle and principles we are creating together.
We see this as a co-creative journey from the very beginning, where connection, clarity, and shared vision are key.
