Once you cross the doors of the Center there is no way back, Peppi and Meli create and encourage community living which is for sure a Home experience rather than a volunteer. Their way of interacting and the carefullness they maintain while choosing volunteers makes this a space for learning, developing and inmersing within yourself.

Peppi and Melania really made me feel like part of the family. They both are not only talking the talk, but also walking the walking with so much dignity, love and dedication. Will be forever grateful for the beautiful shared experiences, for laughter, for deep and open talks, for heavenly food, for retreats, yoga and for all the teachings. Volunteering work was enjoyable and hands on - helping in the kitchen, doing field work, organising the place. We were given lots of independence to organise our own time, nevertheless, the job had to be done. Thank you and much love!

I felt welcomed from the very first minute. The hosts Peppi and Melania are very loving and carring people. They explain everything about the way the land works and how to complete the tasks. Living there I start understanding how to make a land sustainable. It's a calm place, perfect to grounding and to reconnect with ourselves, since is not in a touristic point. Althought, there are two beachs witin walking distance and some other not so far by car. And it's 15min by car from Ericeira. Sometimes there are évents nearby. My hosts invited me twice for life music concerts.

I had an amazing time staying at the Center; I felt at home from the moment I arrived. Meli and Peppi are truly inspiring people, deeply engaged in what they do to make the world a better place to live. The tasks were enjoyable and I would definitely recommend to volunteer there.
