Novas Descobertas Association

Novas Descobertas Association is a nonprofit organization founded in 1994  that delivers transformative, nature-connected learning experiences which promote personal development, create community connections, and encourage active citizenship.

Driven by the belief in the need for people and nature to work together to create a world that supports and balances the needs of both, they offer education and programs that do more than just teach tactical skills focused on ecosystem sustainability and regeneration. They nurture spaces where everyone can be authentic and where people can create regenerative bonds between the individual and themselves, their community, and the landscape.

A variety of educational and self-development programs are available throughout the year for learners of all ages and backgrounds, and are presented in the beautiful natural setting of their space at Campo do Vale, on the grounds of Quinta Vale da Lama.
