Volunteer hospitality in Portugal at Mata House, a community for seekers
This summer, Mata House, an intentional community in central Portugal, is opening its doors to volunteers and guests interested in shared living, creative work, and mindful routines. The announcement first appeared in our Volunteer Facebook group, where members regularly share meaningful opportunities like this one.
Located in the lush green valleys of central Portugal, Mata House is a space for transformation and connection. Described as a centre for awareness, ecology, and expression, it invites those who want to contribute to a different way of being: collaborative, peaceful, and rooted in care for both people and planet.
From May 12th to July 12th, 2025 (flexible end date), the project welcomes individuals who are ready to engage in daily life, help with projects, and participate in a vibrant and exploratory communal rhythm.
The days at Mata House are balanced and varied.
Mornings begin with meditation, dance, or walks, followed by collaborative work – renovating spaces, gardening, building, or creative tasks. Afternoons are for rest and personal time, often spent by the pool. Evenings shift toward learning and sharing: group discussions, volunteer-led classes, music jams, or even movies together.
Volunteers contribute not only their labour but also their presence, helping build a shared rhythm rooted in joy, connection, and intentional living.

Would you like to volunteer with us? Or would you like to live with us for a while?
In the mornings we meditate, dance and take walks. Then we work together â renovating the studio, creating a garden, building furniture and more. In the afternoons we rest, take personal time, spend time in the pool. Later, in the evenings we often learn together about communication and community living, about spiritual practices. Sometimes one of the volunteers gives a class. Sometimes we just put on some music and dance, have a jam, or watch a movie together.
We are discovering how to live together in harmony, connection and joy.
