Programmdetails
Seeking kind, grounded souls to grow something beautiful with us 🌱
Availability: Late May through Winter
We are a small, heart-led family tending a Waldorf-inspired, regenerative Quinta in the forested hills of Figueiró dos Vinhos, Central Portugal.
Since moving here in 2023, our long-term family vision has been gently clarifying and deepening. It is truly rooted in our passions: Waldorf Education, Permaculture, Biodynamics, and the Dances of Universal Peace—a way of life that honours the land, the sacred, and the unfolding of childhood with tenderness and intention. We are growing a place of beauty, healing, and deep connection—with the earth, each other, and spirit.
We are inviting individuals, couples or families who feel the call to live in rhythm—with the land, with family life, and with real, present-hearted communication. We especially welcome those who bring a sense of care, beauty and reverence into their work.
Outer work reflects inner work 🧡
We’re looking for people who:
• Feel aligned with conscious family living, simplicity, and shared responsibility
• Can offer steadiness, presence, and ideally a longer-term commitment (minimum 2 weeks)
• May have experience (or heartfelt curiosity) in Permaculture, Biodynamics, Waldorf/Steiner education, natural building, or soulful community living
A Little About Us
We’re Sarah, Mendel, and our 3.5-year-old son Mani—originally from the UK. Since arriving in Portugal in 2023, we’ve been tending both inner and outer landscapes: planting gardens, shaping play spaces, and dreaming a Waldorf initiative into being. The principles of Permaculture and Biodynamics guide our daily choices, and we’re gently weaving a long-term vision of community and co-learning here.
Aktivitäten & Schichten
25 hours per week in exchange for living well and eating well with us.
We have a structure to our week and like to plan ahead. We can be flexible, with prior communication and agreements.
At the moment it works best for us if the 25 hours are spread over 4 days, with three rest days.
Regeln
We expect people to drop into our family rhythm, have high standards of care taking and cleanliness, also being able to communicate clearly around needs and boundaries.
We have weekly check ins where we aim for clear truthful communication. All feelings are welcome! If there is a feeling in the air then we want to be able to talk about it.
