Conversations we're hoping to have

You know how to turn an idea into a gathering and a gathering into a memorable experience. You have organised retreats, workshops, festivals, educational programmes, or community events, and understand both the visible and invisible work that allows people to come together.

You enjoy working with complexity, coordinating moving pieces, and creating spaces where meaningful encounters can happen.

We are especially interested in someone willing to join us from October onward to help shape Mosaic's programme, partnerships, and events for 2027.

You believe food is one of the shortest paths to belonging.

You are passionate about healthy, nourishing, beautiful meals and inspired by the journey from soil to plate. You enjoy creating experiences around food, not just feeding people. You may dream about farm-to-table dining, communal feasts, fermentation projects, outdoor kitchens, or even a small pop-up restaurant rooted in the rhythms of the land.

If your love language is feeding people, we should probably talk.

You enjoy building things that do not yet exist.

You may work with wood, clay, stone, recycled materials, tensile structures, natural building, festival infrastructure, or experimental architecture. You are both practical and playful, equally interested in function and beauty.

We are looking for people who see construction not only as solving problems, but as an act of imagination — people who enjoy creating spaces that invite gathering, creativity, rest, learning, and wonder.

You have spent years sitting, breathing, fasting, observing, or simply learning how to be with yourself.

You understand that transformation does not always happen through intensity. Sometimes it happens through stillness, presence, and attention.

You are interested in helping weave contemplative practices into daily village life — not as a programme to consume, but as a culture of awareness that naturally emerges through how people live together.

You feel at home in the territory where nature, mystery, transformation, and ceremony meet.

Your path may have led through sweat lodges, rites of passage, movement practices, ancestral traditions, trance work, plant wisdom, sacred music, or earth-based spiritual practices. You understand that ritual, at its best, is not performance but a doorway into deeper relationship with life.

We are interested in exploring how meaningful ceremonies and initiatory experiences can support both individual and collective transformation.

You are fascinated by the space between people.

Through embodiment, communication, polarity work, intimacy practices, group process, shadow work, or somatic inquiry, you help people become more honest, connected, and alive.

You understand that communities rarely fail because of a lack of ideas. They usually fail because human beings do not know how to navigate relationship. We are looking for people interested in making relationship itself part of the practice.

You may be a lawyer, former lawyer, mediator, governance practitioner, or simply someone fascinated by the art of creating agreements.

You understand that healthy cultures do not emerge from rules alone, nor from good intentions alone. They emerge when people learn how to create clear agreements, meaningful accountability, and structures that can evolve with life.

We are interested in people who want to help explore new forms of governance, stewardship, conflict navigation, and collective decision-making while teaching these skills to others.

You are one of the rare people who can speak about money without becoming either cynical or naïve.

You understand finance, investment, budgeting, and organisational sustainability, but you are equally interested in the stories, emotions, fears, and possibilities that surround money.

You are curious about how resources can circulate in ways that support regeneration, education, land stewardship, and human flourishing. You see money not only as capital, but as a form of energy that can either strengthen or weaken a culture depending on how it moves.

You enjoy connecting meaningful projects with the resources they need to thrive.

You may have experience with grants, philanthropy, foundations, crowdfunding, sponsorships, or strategic partnerships. You know how to translate vision into opportunities that others can support.

We are particularly interested in people who understand funding pathways related to youth, education, culture, regeneration, community development, and residency programmes.

You are a licensed architect in Portugal who sees architecture as the design of relationships as much as the design of buildings.

You are interested in helping facilitate a participatory process through which future inhabitants can actively shape the village together. Rather than imposing a vision, you enjoy uncovering one.

You are fascinated by the question of how space influences consciousness — how pathways, common houses, workshops, gardens, private areas, gathering places, and infrastructure can support belonging, responsibility, beauty, autonomy, and healthy interdependency.

You are excited by the possibility of helping design a living village where water, food, energy, landscape, and human culture become part of one coherent system.

You feel most at home with your hands in the soil.

You may come from biodynamic farming, syntropic agriculture, agroforestry, market gardening, permaculture, soil regeneration, seed saving, food forests, or ecological restoration. More than any specific method, you understand that the land is alive and that food is one of the deepest expressions of relationship between people and place.

The conditions are already here: water systems, established infrastructure, planted trees, and years of groundwork. What is missing are more people who feel called to participate in the next chapter.

If the idea of helping feed people while regenerating ecosystems excites you more than another meeting in another office, we would love to meet you.
