The Experience

Hello! We are in the beginning phases of creating a Circus School and Permaculture Garden at the edge of a small Portuguese Village. It is a mix of hard work, beautiful nature & fun and laughter with the locals. In April/May 2024 we need strong, dynamic people who can operate a strimmer, help lay a drainage pipe, move furniture & assist in fumigating sections of house. We will also begin Tiny House construction lead by our carpenter, Anand.

I am grateful and happy for the opportunity to have participated in the school project. I learned to carpint, to paint walls, to swallow fire, I did a silks show and learned more poi. Flame was a great hostess, and was clear about what should be done, and had a good vibe! The house is very old but very charming too, I slept very well every day and ate very well too. the school is a project that involves the residents of the city who support the project, and some even participate in the show. They are very welcoming people that makes you feel home. Thanks for everything Flame!

My experience at the school was wonderful. The village of Alpedriz has a very welcoming neighborhood, Felicity is an incredible artist, a charming person, polite, fun, intelligent, kind, with a big heart, very attentive and understanding, always concerned with the well-being of the volunteers. The work was easy and fun and went according to plan, Frazer, the builder is an excellent professional. I lived magical days at the school and I am very happy to have been part of the team that took the first steps towards building this magnificent and grandiose dream.
