This project began in 2016 and is the environmental hub of CENEA, the Explosive Circuit Association, driven by the desire to provoke significant changes in how we live and view planet Earth.
We are a research center dedicated to regeneration, offering comprehensive training in areas such as permaculture, agroecology, regenerative agriculture, natural building, water landscapes, personal development, and much more.
Located in the municipality of Sintra, near the border with Mafra, in a place called Barreiros, the project encountered a sad and abandoned site marked by the passage of time. However, the peace and beauty found in this place inspired us.
Our Vision:
We believe in a better world! We envision an ecologically balanced and abundant planet, where all forms of life are respected. We believe that to see change, we need to be part of it, and together we can make a difference in the environment around us.
Our Mission:
We aim to create ecologically stable and abundant landscapes, using agroecological techniques and principles to promote the health of the planet and meet human needs (water, food, shelter, and energy). We offer specialized training in agroecology, permaculture, and sustainability. Our goal is not only to disseminate our beliefs but also to build an exemplary space that demonstrates techniques for a more sustainable life.
Our Ethics and Values:
Care for the Earth
Care for People
Fair Share
