Come and help us get Myoho Valley ready for Gathering of Tribes 2027. We are an off-grid coliving collective near Castelo Branco, bringing people together to share skills, ideas and ways of living more regeneratively.
From March onwards, we will mostly be outside preparing the land and making it a really comfortable, welcoming space for the gathering in May, then helping hold that space. Depending on your role, you might be building, decorating, preparing vegetarian meals, documenting the preparations, caring for animals, keeping the site clean or coordinating the team.
You will gain practical experience in preparing a gathering, living together and sharing responsibility. Alongside your contribution, there is time to rest, reset, reflect and enjoy nature. We value both self-care and getting things done, with everyone managing themselves so we can work in harmony.
Shifts are planned in advance, with five hours of work and two days off each week. Kitchen volunteers might prepare and serve meals; building and decorating volunteers prepare the gathering spaces; social media volunteers document the build-up.
The animal care volunteer focuses on daily care routines agreed with us. The dedicated cleaning volunteer keeps shared areas and the site tidy. The site manager coordinates tasks, checks progress and helps the team know what needs doing. Everyone also cleans up after themselves.
Respect each other, the animals and the land. Be reliable, communicate openly and clean up after yourself in shared spaces. Use water and electricity thoughtfully, follow agreed task instructions and ask when you are unsure.
We value self-care and rest, and we also need to get things done. Take responsibility for your time and agreed tasks, communicate your needs and help us keep a good balance so everyone can live and work in harmony. Myoho Valley is queer friendly, and everyone needs to help create a respectful and welcoming environment.
Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
