Reactivate the circus tent
We would love to reactivate the circus tent, build the kitchen and organise a first event and celebration on the land.
Residency
Come not only to explore Mosaic, but to help shape what it can become.
An invitation to live, work and shape Mosaic alongside us, a long-term co-living and land-stewardship initiative in South Portugal.
Dates
End of June → End of September
Number of people
12 residents
For the first time, we're opening Mosaic for a summer residency. From the end of June until the end of September, we invite people to join us for a season of co-creation, relational practice, and shared curiosity for what wants to emerge. Shorter stays are possible.
We see this season as a process of mutual exploration: a chance to connect, to feel whether something genuine wants to continue between you and the project, and to discover together what that might look like.
An Invitation Into the Field
Mosaic is not a retreat, a workshop, or a finished community. It is a living inquiry. A piece of land, a small and evolving group of people, and a shared experiment in what becomes possible when we consciously participate in the creation of culture.
What you find here depends as much on what you bring as on what already exists.
01, Resonance
Who we're looking for.
The people we tend to resonate with are usually already in movement — exploring different places, communities, projects, and ways of being alive.
Many sense that their next chapter is somehow connected to land, collaboration, and building meaningful things with other humans. Most have already found ways to support themselves through their own work, projects, or quiet missions.
We're especially drawn to people who can hold both autonomy and participation — and who don't mind the occasional emotionally-charged governance meeting before lunch.
How they tend to show up
- Building projects, businesses, art, research, or strange little missions
- Comfortable with uncertainty and complexity
- Capable of both autonomy and participation
- Not afraid of responsibility, commitment, or feedback
- Grounded, self-aware, and emotionally mature
- Curious about their own patterns
- Drawn to deep relationship, collaboration, and collective creation
- Financially self-sufficient
Especially excited to meet
- People who want to help shape the residency itself
- Experienced facilitators and organisers
- Grounded entrepreneurs and builders
- Humans who enjoy creating things together
- People who love making chaos navigable
- Excellent cooks
"Mostly, we are looking for people with heart, humour, maturity, initiative, and enough self-awareness to know that building a new culture probably also means continuously rebuilding oneself along the way."

Autumn relational & regeneration gathering

- Conscious Relating & Free Love
- Personal & Systemic Conflict Resolution
- Conscious Co-Parenting
- Power Over, Under, With & Within
- Conscious Investment & Gift Economy

02, Next steps
Interested in joining us this summer?
