Vale das Lobas Lizzie's Journal View Gallery

Are you dreaming of living on the land, in harmony with nature? Would you like your home to be ecological? Built from organic materials? Efficient in design? Comfortable, yet with a light footprint? Have you been fantasising about living more simply? With time for being creative, or simply being? Would you like to earn your living from what you can grow, make or produce? Do you want to be consciously involved in transforming the way we live, eat, work and practice?
Then you are receiving a call to action.

It is time to create a new future, where the social and economic infrastructure is no longer geared towards competition, isolation, and profit. The change in consciousness is already underway. It is time to join together. Sustainable living requires individuals who can share resources in a responsible way, whilst respecting each other’s privacy and freedom. We need to remember once again, how to live in circles, made of strong units, each supported by the whole.
Vale das Lobas is a response to this call.

A Hopi Elder Speaks:

"You have been telling people that this is the 11th hour.
At such a time, we must consider certain things.

Where are you living? What are you doing?
What are your relationships? Are they in order?
Where is your water? Know your garden.

It is time to speak your truth. Create your circle.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader.

There is a river flowing now very fast.
So great and swift is it that many will be afraid.
They will try to hold on to the shore.
They will feel torn apart, and will suffer greatly.
Know the river has its destination.
The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above water.

See who is in there with you.
At this time in history, take nothing personally,least of all ourselves.
The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!
Everything done in a sacred way, and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for."
