Our
Story
Society is becoming more fragmented every year.
Children grow up without steady role models.
Adults are pulled away from home by work.
Elders — once the anchors of community — stand at the margins.
Our answer is to build a physical place that facilitates the cultural conditions that allow humans to thrive: connection, presence, and shared life.
Centered around children wellnbeing and healthy maturation
Why your support matters
We are pioneering a village model that brings these generations back together.
Before our livelihoods are established, we rely on early supporters who understand the importance of this work.
Your support helps us build the cultural foundations that allow children, adults, and elders to thrive together.
Why Now?
Wild Roots is outgrowing its current space. More families are seeking an alternative, and we can only welcome them properly if we can also host them for stays.
To grow with integrity — and to offer the space children and parents truly need — we must move to Herdade do Passo now.
What a healthy Culture Requires
We identify 4 major pillars
Emotionally Mature Adults
Children feel safe to express their authenticity when surrounded by grounded adults who guide them through real life.
Work and Life in One Place
Adults can only be present when they don’t have to leave the land every day to earn a living.
Meaningful on‑site work keeps families together and models maturity.
Education that honors the individual
A healthy culture does not force children into a one‑fits‑all curriculum.
It recognizes their unique gifts, interests, and pace — allowing learning to emerge from real life, curiosity, and meaningful relationships.
A Life Embedded in Nature
Nature teaches responsibility, interdependence, and care for the future.
Children who grow up in relationship with land develop belonging and stewardship.
Our Solution
We are creating a steward‑run farm, centered around education and supported by aligned local businesses.
A place where families live, work, and play on one land.
Where children grow through real life and education adapts to their gifts.
Where adults mature through responsibility and presence.
Where elders return to the center as carriers of wisdom.
Where nature becomes the classroom.
This is not a retreat from society — it is a blueprint for its renewal.
