Waking Life

Landcare

Waking Life is an act of eco-communitarian resilience and an experiment in circular worldscaping.

For 6 days in June, people gather for the festival at Barragem das Nascentes in the heart of Alentejo in Portugal. For the other 359 days of the year, we are engaged in a land regeneration project that is aiming at turning the 35 hectares festival grounds into a biodiverse, public park, where flora and fauna grow into vibrant, new ecosystems.

The Landcare Project is a laboratory for figuring out new ways of growing & knowing, consuming & celebrating, transforming & terraforming – it is an experimental garden for cultivating new models of interaction between cultural productions, regenerative practitioners and local communities.

In essence, the Waking Life Landcare Project and festival are an intertwined, emergent collective practice for possible, earthier, healthier, wetter futures.
