Who Are We?
We are a loose tribe of friends and family who choose to live a simple life, that respects this planet. We are united by a love for nature and a commitment to self-awareness. We mostly met when living in the commune of the enlightened mystic Osho. We are guided by his vision of living totally, with love and awareness; in the world but not of the world.
The horses brought us here to this land, as we sought a place where they could live a natural lifestyle and we could live together in freedom. The land was a traditional Portuguese montado (silvo-pastoral), that had been degraded over the last 40 years. Our main work is helping the soil come back to life and the eco-system heal.
The cork oak montado of Portugal is a unique eco-system, which is currently
struggling to survive. Our aim is to regenerate the forest through holistic management and integrated land use (ILU) for maximum carbon sequestration. Sustainable harvest and distillation of aromatic plants is part of that vision. It is important to us that our land thrives and we live in alignment with nature.
We dwell lightly on this land, with deep respect for all those that share the space here. From the dung beetles to the snake eagles, each one has his place.

The Intention
- To care for the land in line with nature so it thrives, and we can harvest native aromatic plants
- To live a life that gives more than it takes, and leave the planet more beautiful when our brief stay is over
- To live totally, love much and enjoy all we have been gifted
- To live closely with the horses and understand how to provide all their evolutionary needs in a domestic environment
- To become more self aware and centered with the help of the horses and each other
Our Inspiration
Osho
