Welcome to Pixie Springs!

 "All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible."  - Orison Swett Marden

We are a community based, development-oriented, non profit organization dedicated to raise awareness, provide education and teach skills to anyone concerning an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, socially just, health-giving lifestyle.  Our primary purpose is to promote self sustainability, raise awareness, acceptance, knowledge and set the stage for the future generation of the emerging new world.

We support scientific research, initiatives, and organizations that significantly increase quality of life, nutrition, healing of earth, air, and water embodied by this lifestyle.

Thank you for your visit!

Intuitive Artes Program

We are a culturally diverse non profit organization, committed to enriching the lives of children and strengthening their families through its developmentally appropriate after school/home school activities including all intelligences and styles of learning: musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal, interpersonal, intuitive and natural.   Children are given the opportunity to take care of themselves, each other, and the environment through gardening, building with natural materials, art, music and community service.

We aim to create a knowledge seeking culture through our activities in a way that the children develop their abilities of thinking, reflecting and seeking the balance through co creating in nature.  We encourage artistic interchanges by giving support to exhibitions by artists from around the world.  

Currently we are developing our first summer program in Cascais.  If you are interested  please email us and we will send you an update with our program.  Students of all ages are welcome to engage in various intuitive arts activities and participate in co creating a permaculture garden.  

We believe that when the environment meets all of the needs of children they become, without any manipulation by the adult, physically healthy, mentally and psychologically fulfilled, extremely well-educated, and brimming over with joy and kindness toward each other.  




Thank you for your visit.

On the Pathway to Man

"The integrity of the child as an individual indeed, the integrity of the environment - this is the mutual relationship of the two basic principles underlying the concept of the school as shared by myself and my like-minded colleagues. The very first lesson in the school ought to touch upon the meaning of human existence." 


--Mikhail Petrovich Shchetinin

It is of great importance to know that the human being's ordinary powers of thought, are refined powers of configuration and regeneration. --Rudolf Steiner



 

What is Permaculture?

"Permaculture is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems.  It is the harmonious integration of landscape and people providing their food, energy, shelter, and other material and non-material needs in a sustainable way.  Without permanent agriculture there is no possibility of a stable social order."

- Bill Mollison (The "Father" of Permaculture)
