Co-founder of Verdejar d’Ajuda. I organize Yoga and meditation retreats and despite living in France for 7 years, I remain firmly rooted in Arraial, where I founded my home over 20 years ago. Given my inability to participate in person in plantings and collective efforts, I am an enthusiastic disseminator of our work, I try to encourage people from different backgrounds to become aware of our impact on the Earth, to transform habits, to support our projects and attract resources that help sustaining the association, in addition to participating as much as possible in the area of communication, website, media, etc.
I am a real estate broker and administrator in Arraial d ‘Ajuda where I have lived for 30 years.

Verdejar manifests values with which I fully agree, and that is why I join in this movement of conscious actions for planetary sustainability and regeneration, in the “think globally, act locally” way. Together we are strong! It’s a joy to be part of this team of people who roll up their sleeves for the collective good!
