WAKESEED

WAKESEED is a nonprofit association based in Lisbon, Portugal, whose mission is to facilitate both personal and collective sustainability. Operating in a cooperative and inclusive spirit, the association brings together professionals from diverse fields who share a common ethic and set of values, finding in WAKESEED a place to develop their life purpose and grow both individually and collectively. The organization structures its work around four main areas: Human Development (offering workshops on emotional intelligence, the enneagram, nonviolent communication, mindfulness, and Ikigai retreats), Vital Balance (meditation cycles, prânic therapy, Ayurvedic massage, cacao ceremonies and therapeutic massage workshops), Agroecology (design and installation of sustainable and holistic gardens, therapeutic gardens, seed circles, and educational programs for schools such as 'Guardiões da Natureza'), and Bioeconomy (eco-entrepreneurship, alternative and ethical financing, and organizational sustainability). WAKESEED regularly organizes recurring events such as the 'Encontros às Quartas' online meditation and sharing circles, open meditation sessions, cacao and chanting ceremonies, and the MAYOM Festival of Sound, Art and Wellbeing. The team includes professionals specialized in different areas: general founding and coordination, health and wellbeing, and educational development, among others. Through non-formal education, workshops, retreats and community events, WAKESEED aims to make sustainability knowledge and holistic practices accessible to a broad and diverse public, contributing to personal transformation as a foundation for wider social and ecological change.
