ILha means Island in Portugese; we have a vision to save a very special Island of wild land in central Portugal
We invite you to support our fundraiser to bring this special place into collective guardianship and form a Rural School of Arts alongside the creation of The People’s Forest.
Together building skills of hand, land and heart.The creativity we need as we face the reality of a changing world.
The vision will create a living example of what’s possible if we come together in relationship with the land in circular systems. Creating nourishment, abundance, creativity and healing from soil to soul.

Who we are
We are a collective of tenders, makers, dreamers, teachers healers and friends with a shared vision; to promote and celebrate vital landscapes where people as nature thrive. In deep relationship with the elemental wisdom, stories and crafts of the land.
About
We are here because we fell in love with the land in the valley of the Gardunha mountains for its diversity of nature, dark skies and enchantment
