Spirala is a young community, dealing daily with questions such as how to live ecologically, what does community mean, and how to act with fairness & kindness toward people and nature and how to interact and be part of the local (portuguese) society. We are a non-profit-driven organisation; instead, a large part of Spirala’s revenue is reinvested into the land, preserving and regenerating the surrounding environment and its biodiversity.

Our 10.4 hectares of land feature eco-friendly facilities that we built, including dry toilets, outdoor showers, and a communal kitchen, all designed to support a low-impact, sustainable lifestyle. While operating relatively off-grid, we provide some modern conveniences, such as electricity, drinking water, and Wi-Fi, ensuring a balanced experience of nature and comfort. Our land is home to a natural swimming pond, which serves as a habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, including snakes, turtles, frogs, and fish. Spirala offers from time to time different bodily and movement practices like Qi-Gong  Ecstatic Dance and Yoga, providing guests with opportunities for deeper physical and emotional engagement with the space.
