Our vision to seed; The Rural School of Arts and The People’s Forest on 24 hectares of wild land in central Portugal
We invite you to support our fundraiser.
To build skills of hand, land and heart.
The creativity we need as we face the reality of a changing world.
In a time of disconnection and separation The Rural School of Arts home within the People’s Forest will weave into one distinct place;
land based learning in arts, design and healing to create a unique circular model of being from soil to soul.
Situated between two villages where ancient land based practices and rituals are still alive.
Support our fundraiser
With a seed donation or partnership
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.
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. The perfect home for this vision.
