Hi, I'm Hels. Myoho Valley is a hand-built, off-grid village in a reclaimed ghost village in central Portugal, with earth towers, cabins and lots of projects on the go. I'm looking for a practical, reliable person to live with us and help keep it all standing: repairs, building, painting, solar and water fixes, and making things better as we grow. A resident role for someone safety-conscious who likes to see their work last.

Every day in the community was different and unique. We started the day with a good coffee all together while we chanted with Hels. I really liked starting the day like this. I particularly had the opportunity to participate in the filming project of several communities. It was a unique and very fun group trip. Hels is a wonderful person who always makes you feel at home and has a lot to offer to their volunteers. I hope to be back soon! 🤍

Every day brought something new and exciting and i had such a great time. Definitely unlike most other volunteer projects ive worked on in the best way possible! if you go in the winter months prepare for some serious cold and maybe rain. if you are there in the summer months bring a bug net for flies and ticks 😉

I have so much gratitude for my time here. I loved living here and helping where ever I could. Being in nature. It was very relaxing, like a little retreat for my soul. The people were amazing the animals were amazing I loved it all. I think my favourite part of helping was getting to paint Hels little house with clay from the earth. And the food, everyone getting a chance to cook for everyone else, eating meals together. Great company, deep talks. I have nothing bad to say :)) Hels if your reading this Thankyou I appreciate you :)))

Words cannot describe the feeling I have after experiencing life with all of the beautiful souls I met during my stay at the community. All I can say is, thank you. From the bottom of my heart. I will cherish every moment we've shared, every challenge we've faced, every lesson learnt. Hels, if you're reading this, I wish you abundance in love and happiness, you're a beacon of light. 🌟 For future volunteers: This place changed me — come with an open heart and let it change you too.

Staying at the community was a truly meaningful experience! The people are very kind and open, the animals are super cute and the nature is just beautiful. Helios is a welcoming, inspiring person and a great host :) I'm very grateful for the time I could spend here. It's the perfect place if you want to experience off-grid living in nature within a peaceful community that feels like family 🫶🏼
