Our Mission
We're transforming a fire-ravaged landscape in Central Portugal into a thriving demonstration site for ecosystem and community healing. This land will be the home of our community, serving as the base of operations for all our actions to come.
Employing regenerative land practices and community-led initiatives, we're demonstrating how it is possible to not only restore resilience against climate extremes but also create a climate-cooling effect on a piece of land that, for many, would seem hopeless. Throughout the process, we are also learning and sharing our knowledge globally through workshops, courses, and online platforms.
What We're Building Now
In April 2026, we signed a promissory sales contract for an 11-hectare property burned in the 2025 fires—our flagship project, Miracle Mountain. We have until 23rd October 2026 to raise funds and complete the purchase (€111,000 total). Once acquired, the land will be transferred to a foundation, ensuring it can never be sold again and will remain protected for regenerative use forever.
Simultaneously, we're surveying the land, conducting soil analyses, designing a holistic regeneration plan, and establishing our base camp. By year-end, we'll have welcomed our first groups of volunteers and hosted our first on-site ecosystem revival workshops and camps, while preparing the land to absorb winter rains.
Three Funding Needs
We're seeking regenerative investors to support three critical needs: operational costs (€85,000/year), land acquisition (€ 90,840 remaining + € 12,750 borrowed, as of 30th May), and Phase 1 of the regeneration work (€900,000–€1,500,000).
→ This application focuses solely on the land acquisition costs, which total €111.000.
