Events at Avalon... will you be there?
Our amazing space is not just a conscious community space, but also a healing and ascension portal where we invite people to drop back. into their bodies, and re-connect with nature in its broadest form. Since we are in the middle of nature, we connect with the earth automatically, but we do so much more than that. Through the events we organize, we also connect to the nature of ourselves, the infinite beings we are. Will you join us in the fullness of our nature?

Your facilitators​
Growing up on the beaches and cliffs of West Cornwall, United Kingdom, my childhood was filled with adventures in the natural world. I had rock pools, long golden beaches, and stone circles as playgrounds and tales of pirates and mysterious Celtic folklore as world-building fantasies. Whether it was building sand castles or painting landscapes, running up sand dunes, or surfing in the summer, the rugged and seasonal exposure of that northern coastline had me captivated.
Years later, after more adult responsibilities took precedence, I ‘woke up’ feeling somewhat despondent and very distant from that world. I was living a conventional life with a corporate job, in a distant city and mortgage, etc. Something wasn't right. Deep down in my own abyss, I found my treasure again - my adventurous spirit. This time I took off around the world - discovering yoga and the wonderful healing art of Thai massage. I traveled and worked in many countries learning many things picking up permaculture and various eco-building techniques. Despite the great lifestyle, something was still missing from living out of my bag. Then, the call to settle and build something became clear.
The year 2020 was time to start. Drawn by a vision of living in harmony with nature, I came to Portugal alone and bought this 1.4-hectare plot of land after feeling it ‘speak to me’. Back then, it had just a stone ruin with a very thorny and overgrown landscape by the river. The seasons and solitude have taught me an exceptional amount about what is important in life and where answers to meaningful questions lie. Over time I've discovered the importance of establishing community sufficiency, a concept of togetherness and mutual support between neighbors, ecosystems, humans, and all other beings.
I love working with my hands and that shines through what I do—bodywork, building with natural materials, and planting trees. Inspired by Taoism, Vipassana meditation, and Qi Gong practice, I feel a natural resonance with walking the path of presence, balance, and surrender. Every day, I open my heart and mind to learn from nature’s rhythms, and the subtleties of reality, believing in a way of life that is both simple and deeply connected to all that is.
Dana
Originally from: The Netherlands
Positive traits: Very open and non-judgmental, good with energy, people, and animals, empowers people
Lives for: Personal growth and learning, balance, and freedom
Not crazy about: Dishonesty, passive aggression
Specialties: Helps people reconnect to their soul calling ​​​
As a spiritual coach, Dana helps individuals remember their Dharma and guides them to go for what excites their souls. In relationship coaching (and life), she is highly effective because of her loving but no-nonsense direct approach. Her strong empathic senses and the ability to represent both the masculine and feminine in one body enable her to easily feel her way behind any masks and help translate between partners.
Since age 24, Dana has wanted her own 'Garden of Epicurus'—a community of philosophers and spiritual seekers who help and empower each other. Settling in Portugal, home of the Templars, for her is a dream come true. With her two cats, Bushi and Bumba, she is now practicing what she preaches about living your life guided by your Highest Excitement, which is the language of the Soul, as an example for others.
​
As a Tantra Teacher and Tantra Massage Therapist, Dana knows about energy and the Universal Laws and how to use them to manifest, alchemize, and transmute. An afternoon of building and chatting with her can be akin to the equivalent of months of therapy. Come try for yourself!
