NuMundo - Monte da Vida

About.

Monte da Vida is an off-grid regenerative fruit and nut farm, and forest project. We are increasing the biodiversity of the forest, producing food, improving our soils and increasing the water retention capacity of the land. Our approach is to listen to the land and let it guide us, whilst embracing high tech solutions when appropriate. We love good design, functional systems and creating beauty with integrity, and are building using natural materials. We are implementing ideas for a life-affirming economy, and creating a long-term vision sustainable business that is profitable and gives back more than it takes. We always look to find harmony and balance in all that we do, and learn from indigenous wisdom keepers. We are also practitioners and teachers of Taoist practices (Tai Chi, Breathing, Qigong, Meditation).

Our life and work here is rooted in Taoist practise. We created the project as a place to support our practise, and support others in developing theirs. The land has a stillness that encourages going deep into ourselves and with the nature around us. It is a place for discovering our symbiotic relationship with all of life.

We are still in the building phase of the project, and as yet do not have space and facilities to host many people or larger events. We are looking for people to visit who are excited to help us build, grow and establish ourselves as a centre for creative and regenerative enterprise, and as a retreat for healing and transformation.
