In our western civilised world we are educated to remain nestled within our comfort zones. We sacrifice an enormous part of our aliveness on the altar of so-called security. Because of this we don’t have access to the unlimited possibilities life offers us in every moment. Drilled and domesticated from childhood on, we have yet to experience our inherent power and potential. Gambia – A box expanding journey could be a personal step for you to make a radical change. Are you ready to embark on a challenging adventure? Do you want to know, what you truly need to be alive, creative and connected to yourself and the world? Would you like to discover, who you really could be, beyond your habits and routines? You may find more possibilities than you ever imagined at the edges of your comfort zone. By joining this journey, you embark consciously and in full self-responsibility to the edge of your well- known and comfortable world. You will discover a new self in a foreign environment, supported by a group of like-minded people. Due to the mixture of training and experiences taking place within a foreign culture, you have the opportunity to go through a deep transformation process, in a consciously and safely held space. We use the powerful and practical tools of Possibility Management with the intention to provide in every moment what is needed for every single participant as well as for the group as a whole to make the next evolutionary step. The purpose … On this journey we provide a consciously held space where many different possibilities arise. It is an invitation .. – for personal inner growth and transformation for every single participant no matter from which cultural context they come from – to meet the locals and to discover their culture – for an intensive exchange between cultures – to learn or to intensify the application o

Mount of Oaks/Monte dos Carvalhos has 10 week programs, in Autumn and Spring for 2 to 4 people, who would like to experience community living and deepen their knowledge and experience on off-grid sustainable living…you will also have the challenge to practice your design skills and present to us at least one design of either a new system or improvement of existing ones. The Regeneration process on this 5 hectar piece of land started in 2006, when the land was bought through a divine miracle and many people´s generosity before “crowd funding” was even a concept. The land has no private property as it became part of an Association and residents are guardians and part of the ecossystem. Back when I (Barbara) came here, I could only see plowed fields, a small stone ruin with half roof, some olive trees, some citrus trees and a few pear trees, a tiny little native forest at the top of the hill and a massive pond, and a tiny little forest at the bottom… Thank God, the seed bank needed to begin the restororation was still here, and with many human, animal, fungi and vegetable help, things started to improve… Now I can say it is an abundant, resilient and restored ecossystem :-) Our first 5 years were mainly filled with daily tasks, getting to know our neighbours and the region, observing the natural system and praying, as that was our main intention for this place…A refuge of peace, rest, healing and prayer that restores land. From 2009 to 2012 we hosted several PDC´s each year, with the great pioneer in Portugal, Lesley Martin… Today, besides the most important which is a restored healthy no tilled soil, we have already much to inspire others and much to develop still : – The only existing small ruined was restored to be our common working kitchen now filled with a lot of our delicious produce (olives and olive oil, aromatic herbs, teas, madicine in all shapes and forms and fermented food and drinks ) – different compost toilet systems; – hot shower w
