Because it is very practical, it provides participants with useful tools that they will be able to use immediately. But it's much more than a course - it's a group experience, it's sharing a week with likeminded people, however different they may seem, an experience of deep ecology, from compost toilets to the shower solar (although we have a gas shower) And because we are ten minutes away from the Sintra beaches and Forests, it's like taking a vacation between the countryside and the sea to invest in yourself and your future. |
About IsabelIsabel Castanheira started by studying Philosophy at the Faculty, and taught it in secondary schools for many years. She then spent some time in the advertising business, and being part of that frantic world is perhaps what made her switch to a simpler way of life so definitively. She has over twenty years of experience in organic production. Since then, working in favor of a more sustainable life for people and the planet has been one of her main goals. In addition to being one of the members of the board and founder of Quinta dos 7 Nomes, ecological cooperative C.R.L., she is also a teacher of Agricultural Courses.
SurroundingsThe value of the down payment transferred to reserve a place in courses can be refunded if the student gives notice of the impossibility of attending the training at least 15 days in advance. Whenever the impossibility is due to health problems or duly justified issues, the cooperative will return the value that has not yet been invested in material for the course, acquired for the use of that registration.
