Portugal Part 3 At @libelinhaventure ❤️🌱🙏 Again, from the ashes a Phoenix is born 🔥🌹 Tasting the new baseline for people's life. Everything is there, we lend our hands in service to that.

A communal understanding, unifying devotion, harmonious dedication to foster a human way of living in harmony with nature. Scaling up the possibilities, meeting the limitless flow and offerings of life. We join, we trust, we are in it together. A network for the regeneration of our Earth, the regeneration of our Heart. ❤️ GRATITUDE ❤️ #devotion #dedication #healtheearth #permacultureportugal #reforestation #community #regenerativeagriculture #teepee #springwater #network #rewilding #agroforestry #permaculture #reforestationproject #permacultureproject

Portugal Part 2 DEFEND THE SACRED 🔥🌱🐝🍁🌲 It was dark already, the memory of the charcoal landscape penetrating my heart. A night of flames burning the old. Witnessing the astounding devouring fierce that flashes across the valleys and hills of attachment and fear. Let go. Let it all go. Just be, in the darkness. With the light comes the joy, the lush green of hundreds of new plants, specifically placed following a detailed regenerative design to heal the burnt skin of the Earth. Terraces, ponds, dams, swales, keylines, blessed rain. Water, essence of life. Thank you, family, for the birth, the learning, the growth, the letting go, the dream, the experience, the shedding of skin, the hope. Pounding the drum, hawling to the moon, flying across the trees I give thanks and welcome the grace. There where one new Earth Guardian was born, many now stand and many more will come. #defendthesacred #earthweareone #gaia #lovefortheearth #gravito #portugal #afterthefire #reforestationproject #reforestation #regenerativeagriculture #agroforestry #forestgardening #permaculture #permacultureportugal #purelove #drummingcircle #earthguardians #interbeing #restorationagriculture

Portugal Part 1 Family is something greater than parents and siblings. Family is an extension of the heart, the body, the mind, the soul. Family is reciprocal support, unconditional love, irrational excitement. In Lisbon area, a group 6 brotherly friends gathered togetger to support the conception of a new space where humans can grow, and learn how to grow, in harmony with nature and with the self. Thank you for the opportunity. Thank you for the connection. Thank you for the inspiration.

Many days full of magic, surprise and inspiration have passed. Super Teresa came to help finishing off the sowing and mulching of the last of the three swales - fantastic job! The swales fill up more and for longer with each rain, and all seeds have sprouted and the cover crop is growing vigorously! Then beautiful Nico joined us and the mushrooms hunt started 🙏 Abundance of edible wild mushrooms from the forest keeps us wanting to explore our connection with each tree, each plant, each den, each insect and, of course, each mushroom! 🍁 What a joy to feast on them cooked on a bonfire! ... and to write down our dreams, share them and burn them in the fire? Unforgettable... It's not so easy to put in words the depth of the experience of being out in the forest, meeting deers, badgers, eagles, spotting boars' tracks and feeling so replenished, at home, safe. And yet nature keeps providing. Harvesting firewood every day for the upcoming colder days. On this note we only harvest wood that has already been cut and left behind by 'forest management interventions' or from fallen trees after last years heavy storms. No need to fell trees around here for few years :) And last but not least the spectacle each day gifts us with at sunset. The last picture speaks for itself... #livinginnature #naturalliving #livingintheforest #mushrooms #swales #foodforest #forestgardening #temperateforest #volunteers #support #natureconnection #natureconservation #responsibleliving #sustainability #chainsaw #varsi #valceno #appenninotoscoemiliano #appenini #sunset #nofilter #reforestation #permaculture #sustainableliving

~ Long day, many rocks, opening the #Earth No tears from the sky ~ One day, three #swales (each approx 40m long, 1.5m wide, 50cm deep) Why? - To harvest #rainwater and passively irrigate what will soon become a Food Forest. To soak as much winter rain into the ground and store it as long as possible during the summer months. Looking forward for the first rains to observe the swales in function Next step? - Sowing ground cover, nitrogen fixing and dynamic accumulating plants We are transforming a degraded and compacted field into a self-maintaining #ecosystem rich in #biodevirsity. Now that this big job is done and paid, another big job is on the way: propagating and buying shrubs and trees. Any little help is highly appreciated. If you appreciate our work, play and commitment, and want to support us please follow the link in bio to either make a donation or to share the project with your circles :) Full of #Gratitude for having the privilege of doing what we are doing <3 #swales #earthworks #permaculture #rainwaterharvesting #foodforest #forestgardening #foodforestdesign #passiveirrigation #selfsufficiency #sustainability #sustainableliving #naturalfarming #healingthroughdesign #healingtheearth #gaia
