It describes neos·life's mission as a holistic village and transformational ecosystem being built on 1000 acres around a lake in Alentejo, Portugal, combining retreats, regenerative education, wellness, a hotel, a residential community, and an organic farm.

This is the main neos·life site overview, introducing the village, farm, wellbeing offerings, and transformational retreats being built in Alentejo, Portugal. It covers ways to visit, transform, or live at neos, along with its guiding philosophy.

This page introduces the neos·life team, led by co-founders Vincent Daranyi (Business Lead) and Karen Aiyana Birch (Creative Lead), along with key partners like Inphinity Design, Ekogaio, Zach Bush MD, Lisa Marguiles, Biotonomy, and Smarthoods. It also notes they are actively recruiting more visionary team members and partners.

This issue explains how Neos village is designed to support families and children, focusing on shared childcare, community responsibility, and a holistic, nature-based education system.

It announces the Yutori Artists Residency, a 10-day slow-living retreat for artists at Neos Center in Alentejo, Portugal, from 20-29 November 2026. It centers on spaciousness, presence, and creative flow rather than a packed program, with participants expected to bring their own art materials and tools.

It introduces Self Mastery II, a yearlong program and lifelong community built around the 'Mastery Keys' — archetypal feminine and masculine aspects of the Source Self. It combines an initiation ceremony, a guidebook (the Mastery Keys Codex), monthly deep-dive sessions, gendered SHE/HE circles, community connection circles, and 1-3 in-person retreats.

It announces 'S H E - Spring Rebirth Gathering', an online gathering for women hosted by Conscious Katalyst (UK), running from 24th May to 19th July, weekly on Wednesdays 6-7.30pm UK/WET, featuring 9 sacred containers with different women facilitators offering transmissions, embodiment practices and cacao ceremony.

It's the Neos homepage overview, offering paths to reserve a lakeside cluster house, explore the vision and mission of Neos, or visit the Neos Center for retreats and transformation events.

It's a personal reflection by Vincent on his journey from chasing conventional success to seeking spiritual truth, culminating in the realization that we are all expressions of one consciousness. This understanding is the driving force behind Neos, whose core purpose is to help people remember who they truly are and create heaven on earth.

It reflects on why building a visionary village like Neos is so difficult, sharing stories of founders who suffered heartbreak, burnout, or even suicide under the pressures of leadership, and explores why society's collective wounding makes such resistance almost inevitable, yet still worth pursuing.

It shares a new video visualization of the Neos Village masterplan created with architects Inphinity Design, showing the Center, Village units, and lake, and it makes a final call for people to apply as Pioneers to secure a unit before the June 30th deadline.

It announces a new short film, 'The Essence of Neos,' made by filmmaker Nik Tenney to convey the energetic and felt truth of the project beyond words. It also opens an invitation to reserve one of 15 units or the signature villa in 2026, and highlights the final Neos Experience retreat before autumn.

It reflects on the accelerating pace of AI, robotics and societal upheaval, explains why Neos is preparing both a conventional and an independent/faster building path, and announces the opening of a second round of home reservations at Neos.

Vincent shares a personal experience of being emotionally triggered and how it led him to reflect on inner work, self-love, and releasing conditioned trauma as the path from suffering to bliss. He connects this practice to the mission of Neos: creating Heaven on Earth by doing this healing work in community.

It explains the one true entry requirement for joining Neos: a willingness to do inner, shadow work and take full responsibility for one's inner life, rather than any personality type, wealth, or spiritual résumé. It frames Neos as a 'crucible for transformation' aimed at cultivating the 'New Human.'

It explains the deeper 'why' behind Neos: that humanity has forgotten its true nature of oneness, and that Neos exists to help people wake up from the dream of separation rather than simply to offer rest or an eco-village lifestyle. It frames inner transformation as the real answer to the world's crises.

It explores the relational and inner-work dimension of building Neos, introducing the five New Earth Ways cultural principles, and shares updates on upcoming retreats/trainings and the emerging food forest gardens on the land.

It recaps the challenging first six months since permanently moving onto the land, previews the 2026 process for becoming a Neos Villager, lists current hiring and volunteering opportunities, and introduces the upcoming 'Neos Experience' retreat.

It explores how Neos is moving beyond the old belief that technology alone can solve humanity's problems, arguing instead that a lack of consciousness—not a lack of tools—is the real issue. It introduces the idea of a 'Third Way' that unites science and spirituality, and announces Neos's first retreat and upcoming opening.

It's a reflective piece marking the successful land acquisition for Neos, sharing the emotional 'Hero's Journey' behind it and the key lessons learned over the past year of fundraising and negotiations.

It revisits Neos Village's core purpose, gives an update on the land acquisition and founder opportunity, explains how new members are attuned to the community mindset via the Social Agreement and Attunement questionnaire, and invites people to help fund the final €1M needed to secure the land, plus join a Sunday land tour.

It announces that Neos Village has raised over €2 million in pledges in two weeks, introduces the new Funding Codex document answering community questions, and invites people to become Founding Members before the 23 May 2025 funding deadline.

This is an urgent last-call appeal explaining that neos·life is about to lose its chosen land to a competing buyer unless the community can help raise a significant downpayment and show a clear path to completion within days, while the founders remain calm and open to whatever outcome is meant to be.

It explores power as the hidden energetic force behind social dynamics, framing healing as the reclamation of one's rightful power (life force, authenticity, sovereignty). It also explains how neos·life aims to cultivate a community of self-responsible, healing-oriented leaders rather than passive followers or power-seekers.

Vincent reflects on the concept of a life 'blueprint' or mission that we're born with rather than choose, and how neos·life's mission is to help people remember and align with theirs. He connects this to the idea of symbolic death of the ego as the path to true freedom and rebirth.

Karen and Vincent reflect on how the prolonged, challenging journey of acquiring the land has been a catalyst for their personal consciousness transformation, teaching them to move from a victim mindset to that of a creator by seeing the world as a reflection of their inner state.

Vincent responds to WhatsApp community conversations about fundraising, alignment, and the deeper vision behind neoslife — emphasizing that the project must be built from a new way of being rather than just look like another village, and inviting aligned investors and supporters to join.

It's a personal reflection on how love, not being right, is the core challenge and answer to all conflicts within the neoslife community, sparked by challenging experiences after a retreat.

Vincent reflects on his experience at the ChangeNOW sustainability conference in Paris, arguing that real change must start from within rather than external solutions. He explains neoslife's mission to help people remember their true nature as consciousness, and announces a special investor retreat and a podcast appearance.

It's a philosophical reflection urging readers to snap out of the illusion that the man-made world can bring lasting happiness, and to instead find nourishment through nature, presence, community, and connection to one's divine essence.

It explains the 'waking up' concept through the metaphor of never taking off a VR headset, describing how our body/mind is just an interface for the eternal awareness we truly are, and why realizing this reduces suffering and enables a life of higher purpose. It also ties this philosophy to neoslife's mission and mentions the land being acquired and an upcoming investor retreat.

It explores the balance between masculine and feminine energies as a core principle of the New Earth and a 4th principle of neos·life, noting that only balanced consciousness can create balanced systems and solutions.

It's an inspirational message urging readers not to ignore the inner calling or 'flame' in their heart, even if they feel stuck, unworthy, or too comfortable to seek change.

Vincent announces he is committing his entire net worth of €600,000 to bring neoslife to life, laying out his vision for a self-sufficient village in Portugal, the structure of a Swiss foundation with for-profit entities beneath it, and an invitation for investors and collaborators to join.

It explores the idea of 'human 2.0' — a person who has experienced that they are not their mind, identity or body but a fragment of a universal 'I' or consciousness, contrasted with 'human 1.0' (unconscious, mind-driven living) and 'human 1.5' (doing inner work but still suffering).

Vincent reflects on the purpose of life, arguing that we are eternal consciousness temporarily experiencing life through a body, and that chasing external things like money, business or status can never bring true fulfillment. He connects this reflection to the upcoming 'Awaken to Self' event, which is designed to help people experientially realize who they truly are.

Vincent explores humanity's crossroads between an unconscious path of ego, control and separation versus a conscious path of awakening, unity and harmony. He discusses how family trauma, lack of individuation and birth trauma keep us as reactive victims, and how shifting to full responsibility as empowered creators transforms both self and world.

Attendees can expect a 2-3 hour transmission and Q&A with Zach Bush, an integrative meditation and sound healing journey with Karen Birch and Efia, a devotional music journey with Arian Sarrafan and Javier Karua, plus the chance to connect with the Neos land and stars.

Retreats and experiences at Neos weave together all twelve categories across the Self, Relational, and Environmental dimensions rather than focusing on just one aspect like spirituality or permaculture, offering practices in holistic health, relational dynamics, food systems, and more.

Participants can expect increased confidence and resilience as a changemaker, new life-transforming skills, direct connection with experts, greater clarity on their purpose and gifts, and the ability to make a positive impact on people and the environment around them.

Yutori offers 10 uninterrupted days in a lightly-guided but self-directed creative container, with time for writing, painting, sound, or any art form that calls to you. Shared anchor points include medicine tea ceremonies, cacao and blue lotus rituals, eastern-inspired somatic practices, and moments of collective silence or deep listening, all set within 500 hectares of nature with lakes to explore.

Through the program's retreats you receive a ceremonial Initiation into the energetic blueprint of the Feminine & Masculine Source Consciousness, plus embodiment practices and sacred ceremonies honouring the empowered feminine and masculine within you. Retreat attendees can then continue with monthly sessions and community circles to integrate the healing and transformation over a full year.

The retreat facilitates opening into expansive bliss, harnessing awareness, nourishing body and soul, and dissolving into oneness with nature and the stars. It includes cacao and sound ceremonies, self-care and nature rituals, heart-sharing circles, and time for personal reflection and creative reconnection.

Yutori offers 10 uninterrupted days in a gently held container for self-directed creative practice—writing, painting, sound, or movement—supported by anchor points like medicine tea ceremonies, eastern-inspired somatic practices, and collective silence. Rather than a packed program, it provides spaciousness and presence so your own art and creative process can breathe and re-emerge.

The program promises true freedom through peace of mind, joy and love, along with an initiation experience where your sense of self dissolves and you merge with universal consciousness, gaining clarity and certainty to make profound life changes. It combines deep nature connection, ascension practices, and dharma alignment sessions over a week, followed by 8 weeks of online integration support.

Participants receive dream-weaving sessions for creative visioning, energetic self-love rituals using the five elements and cervix breathing, monthly temples exploring the Christos-Sophia Blueprint, and 'Inner Wild' ceremonies including the Winter Solstice, all woven together with sisterhood and cacao ceremony.

Programs are designed to support self-mastery, healing through sacred ceremonies, and New Earth leadership skills, helping participants reskill in self, relational, and environmental dimensions to become agents of regenerative change.

You'll experience daily transformative workshops covering relationship dynamics and self leadership, shared organic meals, and free time to rest, journal, or explore nature. Mornings and evenings offer nature experiences like yoga under an ancient olive tree, lake swims, and walks to sacred sites like dolmens and an obelisk.

Past participants describe it as a sacred, healing experience offering deep connection with land and people, transformation, inspiration, and spaciousness for emergence to unfold, with beautiful memories and a sense of grateful belonging.

Past participants describe it as a beautiful, peaceful experience with amazing food and heartfelt intention, offering deep connection with nature, life, and the spirit of the land.

You'll enjoy organic meals, sessions on 'The New Human' and a 'New Way of Being', deep nature connection practices, village exploration and talks, and spontaneous gifts. It's designed as a gentle reset to expand awareness, ground authenticity, and clarify your role in the collective shift, while giving you a first-hand feel for the Neos land, people, and mission.

The Awaken: Neos Experience Retreat explores the five New Earth Ways principles—Consciousness, Sacredness, Embodiment, Balance, and Creation—through self-enquiry and supportive practices, offering a path toward wholeness and joy; only a few places are left for the upcoming session.

The Neos Experience offers relaxed mornings connecting with nature, afternoon sessions on 'the new human' and a new way of being, deep nature connection practice, talks, organic meals, and a chance to feel the energy of Neos and explore whether it's the right path for you, especially if considering village membership.

During the life-changing weekend you'll experience neoslife and the estate directly, and understand for yourself what 'waking up' means and why it could change the world.

According to the issue, participants can gain clarity of who they are and why they're alive, freedom to be unconditionally themselves, courage to live fully, freedom from fear/doubt/anxiety, and a lifelong supportive community.

The promise is to understand who you are, why you are here, and what you truly want — a reunion with your true self ('I') that Vincent calls more beautiful than anything previously experienced.

The 'Awaken to Self' experience aims to help you know with more certainty than knowing your own name that you are pure consciousness, not just your mind and body. It also helps ground that realization into everyday life so you can live from love, presence and gratitude rather than fear, scarcity and ego.

The 'awaken to self' journey promises the chance to experience your higher self and have one of the most profound experiences of your life, helping you connect deeper with the truth that heaven surrounds us in every moment.

The village is designed as a whole ecosystem with two sides: a public, north-of-the-lake side offering internationally recognised educational and transformational experiences, and a residential, south-of-the-lake side that lives out those teachings through practices like harmony with nature, decentralised governance, a regenerative/circular economy, and biodiversity restoration.

It will include a transformational center for retreats, regenerative education and wellness, a hotel, a residential autonomous community, and an organic farm, all set within 1000 acres around a lake.

The village is envisioned as part of a transformative ecosystem across 1000 acres, combining wellness and consciousness expansion, regenerative education, and nature-based living, with event spaces, gardens, and residential community areas.

The village aims for 500 residents in 200 homes, plus a global wellbeing hub serving up to 20,000 people/year with holistic medicine, therapies and retreats. It will also have its own school, organic farm, full water/energy independence, recreational facilities, and eventually a small airport using the land's existing airstrip.

For families, the village will include forest-style play areas built from the natural landscape, a rotating childcare circle so children are always watched over, and home clusters designed around shared gathering spaces like fire circles and dining areas.

The neos ecosystem consists of five parts: the Village itself, a Transformational Center for learning and healing, Residential Eco Living for permanent life, a Global Community network of change makers, and Regeneration efforts to restore the land.

The village will include homes for residents and guests, well-being and healing services, education and training programs, land regeneration work, an organic farm, and additional services extending beyond the physical village.

Neos Village will have 144 houses across three clusters (Lakeside, Community, and Meadow) built around a shared village center, on 158 hectares of oak groves, lakes and meadows. It sits alongside the adjoining Neos Center, a wellbeing, retreat and educational hub with space for 500 guests.

The page highlights a Lakeside Cluster houses reservation program as part of the village, alongside the broader vision of a conscious village in Portugal's Alentejo.

The village is designed as three clusters with paths leading to fire circles and shared kitchens, natural rewilded play spaces instead of standard playgrounds, and a dedicated Sociocracy Circle managing shared childcare and educational sessions.

Neos Village spans 158 hectares with 144 units, one of the lowest densities of any comparably sized development, keeping nature and wildlife intact. It sits alongside a world-class healing and transformation center, together covering 410 hectares, with the North side hosting the Center, the South side the Village units, and a lake between them.

Neos will include architecturally designed units built with natural materials on 1,000 acres of Alentejo countryside with hills, valleys, a river and lake. It combines genuine self-sufficiency in water, energy, and food with a conscious community that has done deep inner work.

The upcoming second home release includes up to 15 homes in categories ranging from 25m2 tiny homes to 180m2 four-bedroom family houses, plus one 250m2 signature villa.

The full masterplan will show natural features, roads, community spaces, a kids project, wellbeing and educational/healing facilities, housing clusters, and an equestrian center. It will comprise 150-200 property units whose owners are selected based on alignment with the vision.

Once the land is bought, two parallel tracks begin: the Northern guest part called 'The Center for a New Humanity' (education, healing, wellbeing retreats stewarded by aligned leaders) and the Southern part, the Neos Village residential community, which will include housing, agriculture, rewilding, roads, and community infrastructure like schools and creative studios for about 200 homes.

It's envisioned as a fully self-sufficient village hosting around 1,000 people at once (guests, day visitors, patients, staff and residents), providing everything needed to live well, heal, evolve and thrive, and even includes an airstrip for small planes.

Planned components include a healing center led by Dr. Nader Butto, a co-working/creation center, a meditation center, a school, an academy on mind-body-soul integration, a resort and residences for about 1,000 people, and a regenerative/permaculture farm that sustains the village with its own water and energy.

You can apply to become one of the 25 Founding Member families by joining the current round (open for June only), with lot reservations starting at 50K as a contribution toward total costs ranging from 175K for a tiny house lot up to 1.5M for a signature villa. Applying now locks in 2026 at-cost pricing before it rises significantly in 2027.

Neos recently opened a new offering welcoming Pioneer Members to co-own land and choose their house; you can explore the village and get in touch via join.neos.life.

You can apply to the Neos Village Unit Reservation Program (the Pioneer round), open until June 30th, which requires a meaningful financial contribution toward your future unit. Pioneers, together with last year's Founding Members, will move into the first 40 units of the first cluster (the Lake cluster); applicants can join information calls on Thursday 25/6 or Saturday 27/6, or email village@neos.life.

Neos is offering 16 Pioneer units at cost, priced from €175,000 to €1.5M, across five categories plus a signature villa near the healing center. Registration is open until 30 June via Join.Neos.Life, followed by an alignment process including a masterplan film, FAQ, live Zoom call, attunement form, codex, and contracts before final admission.

On June 10th at 10AM Portugal time, Neos opens its next and only 2026 opportunity to reserve a unit, with 15 units across different sizes plus one signature villa available. Newsletter subscribers will get an email with pricing, designs, and an application to apply for a place, with priority given to those aligned with building a true, supportive community.

This month Neos is opening its second offering for a future home, releasing up to 15 homes across categories from a 25m2 tiny home to a 180m2 family house and one 250m2 signature villa; the full invitation details arrive in the next newsletter.

You can apply for hiring roles such as General Manager or Events Team member, or volunteer for a week helping with cooking, laundry, maintenance, or land work. Email connect@neos.life with the role you're interested in, your experience, and a social media link.

You can invest now for the best financial value and priority plot location, help shape the Village Masterplan, or offer a loan for the remaining €1M by contacting connect@neos.life; full details are in the Funding Codex.

You can become a Founding Member by reserving a lot, with contributions ranging from €50,000 for a tiny house site up to €500,000 for larger units. Funds need to clear by 23 May 2025 to be part of this Founding Member round, and over 25 of the 200 homesites have already been reserved.

You can pledge any amount (e.g. €20k, €150k, €1M) toward collective land co-ownership by sending a non-binding letter of intent via DM or email to connect@neos.life, after which you'll join a closed group conversation to help shape the collective terms; you can also join their 300-member WhatsApp group for casual conversation first.

The team is asking community members to reach out ASAP (within the weekend) if they can contribute funds, invest, or partner in any way; they also suggest someone could acquire the land for the remaining €3M and allow 12-18 months of collaborative exploration, or contribute toward a future home secured by the land via the poll in this issue.

They are looking for help making the financing happen this month, including short-term bridge loans if bank financing doesn't come through in time, as well as contacts, ideas, and prayers.

Vincent is seeking patient capital and investors who are fully aligned with the vision and competent to help it succeed, rather than just financially motivated backers. He describes it as a recognition process rather than active selling, trusting the right investor will 'light up' in resonance with the project.

You can apply to be one of eight potential investors invited to a special April 10-14 experience by filling out the form at ir.neolsife.com.

Vincent invites seed investors to help acquire the land and also welcomes people passionate about the vision — visionaries, architects, farmers, hospitality experts, marketers, and more — to reply to the email or join the Telegram channel to get involved.

Vincent is seeking seed money to complete the land purchase, begin planning, hire an architect, and refurbish existing buildings for retreats by summer. Interested investors can reply to the email or contact vincent@neos.life, and there's also a retreat, 'Awaken to Beauty,' on December 8 or 9 to experience the vision and land firsthand.

The issue states that despite technological progress, humanity still operates from victim and survival consciousness, causing suffering to the planet and people, so there's a need to shift toward meaning, connection, and co-creation of a more beautiful life.

Only 15-16 Pioneer units remain after 22 units were sold last year to Founding Members, and once these are gone, prices will rise 30% next year. Registering early also secures first choice, Pioneer-member standing, and a role in shaping the village.

Vincent sees AI and robots becoming ubiquitous within a few years, alongside ecocide, food deformation and tightening governmental control, which could bring societal upheaval and restricted freedoms - making self-sufficient havens like Neos increasingly precious.

Because the world is visibly digressing—rising depression, loneliness, war, and inequality—while AI and robotics threaten to economically replace most humans under systems not designed with their freedom in mind. Vincent believes only a shift in consciousness, not political or technological fixes, can turn this around.

The sellers' deadline has already passed, and with only about €1M of the ~€2.2M pledge target confirmed, the team needs to show concrete pledges coming in within a day or two to convince the sellers to extend their patience until Monday.

Karen and Vincent explain that the sellers have a competing buyer ready to finalize the sale if neos·life doesn't secure a downpayment and a clear road to completion within days — they literally only have that weekend to bring something concrete together.

The issue notes that Vincent has invested huge sums into the project and is currently needing to contribute all he has left, with risks getting higher and higher as deadlines approach.

There are less than two weeks left for the final deadline to acquire the land, and it remains uncertain whether the financing will come together in time.

Because this first stage is unfolding rapidly, time itself is becoming a limiting factor that will dictate how capital and development decisions are made.

He believes the world only changes if he starts himself, without waiting for others to do the inner work first, since love and transformation cannot be conditional on others' behavior.

He believes technology (especially AI) is advancing exponentially while human consciousness has stagnated, and points to events like the WHO pandemic treaty as signs of a move toward totalitarian control; he estimates we have only a few years, possibly until 2027, before reaching a point of no return.

He sees the world crumbling through war, polarisation, and moral decay, while AI and robotics threaten to make most people commercially useless, and warns that consolidated wealth and power could lead to a totalitarian, CBDC-controlled one-world government unless people wake up and build a new model now.

Vincent describes humanity as living in an 'age of ignorance,' stuck in ego, competition and disconnection, which is driving family breakdown, fear-based media, and canceling of dissenting voices. He believes raising consciousness, not technology, is the only way to move humanity out of this dystopian trajectory.

Vincent frames humanity as being at a crossroads between an old, unevolved path of ego, division and control, and a new path of awakening and unity — suggesting individual transformation is urgently needed since, as each person shifts from victim to creator, the world itself transforms from animosity to harmony.

Karen is Vincent's partner in the Neos mission; together they found each other and the land for the project, and they've grown through the challenges of building it together.

Karen is the co-founder of neos·life. In this newsletter she shares a personal, intimate introduction to herself, her love of nature and the divine, and her devotion to spiritual union with Source.

Karen is a voice within the Neos community who writes reflective newsletter pieces encouraging inner transformation; this issue is signed 'In love and community spirit, Karen.'

Yes, the land was acquired in 2025 and Neos Center has been operating on it since, running retreats with a committed team and community. The village itself is currently in the permitting stage, with its licence expected in Q2 2027.

Yes, the purchase contract for the land was signed on April 2nd two years prior to this issue, and Vincent and Karen have since spent ten months living and working on the land.

Yes — a week before this newsletter, Karen and Vincent signed the deed and moved onto the Neos land, marking the completion of Phase 0 of the project.

Not yet — a few weeks ago the land was at risk of being lost, and the community raised €2M in response; as of this issue there is one week left to raise the final €1M to secure it.

No — as of this issue, neos·life is on the verge of losing the land next week because a competing buyer is ready to close if a significant downpayment and clear completion plan aren't provided in time. Three independent valuations put the land's worth at least €4.4M, while the remaining amount needed is €3M (at €0.75/m2).

Not yet — as of this issue, they are still praying that full financing comes together this month, with the final deadline to acquire the land less than two weeks away and the outcome uncertain.

The issue doesn't confirm formal legal securing, but Vincent shares that the land found him almost magically — a stranger named Marie presented him with the property days after meeting him in a plane line, and it's the only land he ever looked at.

Yes, on 2/4/24 the promissory purchase contract was signed to acquire the estate that is becoming neoslife, five months after first finding the land.

Not yet finalized—Vincent describes it as 'a beautiful piece of land' neoslife is acquiring, and he just returned from his sixth visit, sharing an unedited video of the estate including its ostriches, cows, sheep, and brown-tinted water from recent rains.

Neos village is located in Alentejo, Portugal, just 75 minutes outside of Lisbon, on 410 ha (1,010 acres) of land. This is enough space to develop a village for 1,000 people centred around healing, well-being and awakening.

The land is located in Alentejo, Portugal, and spans 1000 acres around a beautiful lake.

Neos is located 75 minutes east of Lisbon in Alentejo, a rural, wild, and romantic region of Portugal, about 20 minutes from Montemor-o-Novo, an artistic centre with cooperative and alternative community culture. Further location details are shared once you've booked a visit via their booking platform.

Neos center sits on 1000 acres in the rural Alentejo region of Portugal, about 75 minutes east of Lisbon and close to Evora's ancient standing stone circle.

The retreat takes place at Neos Center in Alentejo, Portugal, on 500 hectares (1000 acres) of land with lakes to explore, and it's about a 75-minute car journey from Lisbon International Airport.

The neos·center estate is located in Alentejo, Portugal, about 75 minutes from Lisbon, and spans 1000 acres of nature including a large lake, with accommodation for 32–38 people.

Neos is located in Alentejo, Portugal, about one hour from Lisbon, spanning 158 hectares for the village plus 1,000 acres total including the adjoining Neos Center land, with 410 hectares of Montado (cork oak) landscape being stewarded.

It's a 410 ha (with existing buildings measured at 420 ha) piece of land in Alentejo, Portugal, about 75 minutes from Lisbon airport. It's 2km wide and 3.1km long, with hill chains, a dam, and an altitude difference of 100m from peak to river valley.

Neos is built around a dual structure of public and residential sides that work together as one ecosystem, combined with a location in Alentejo—a region rich in wine culture, community cooperatives, syntropic farms, and heritage from Neolithic, Arab, Roman and Phoenician civilisations—plus a strong commitment to zero waste, regenerative sustainability, and reusability.

Its offerings are curated around five core design principles—Nature, Consciousness, Beauty, Collaboration, and Whole-Systems—combined with a focus on zero waste, regenerative sustainability, and reusability to create a holistic, transformative ecosystem.

Neos life is guided by five Design & Experience Pillars—Nature, Whole-Systems, Consciousness, Community, and Beauty—connected to its New Earth Ways cultural principles, aiming for a holistic ecosystem rather than just an eco-village.

Neos combines private home ownership with shared land, farm and community spaces, self-sufficiency in food, water and energy, wise self-governance with no guru, and a full ecosystem pairing a residential village with a world-leading center for transformation next door. It's designed as daily life for committed residents, not a retreat or commune.

Neoslife focuses on cultivating a 'new way of being'—an environment and culture that helps people experience the union of seemingly opposing principles like science and spirituality, heart and mind, and nature and technology, rather than just deploying technology to fix problems.

Neos aims to unite 'sovereign individual' with 'unified community,' giving ample space for diverse paths—families, entrepreneurs, introverts, extroverts—rather than enforcing a single guru or ideology, while still cultivating shared healing, purpose, and consciousness through structures like the Community Social Agreement and Attunement.

According to founder Vincent, it's not the healing center, farming, or retreats that set neoslife apart, but a fundamentally new 'way of being' with each other—without which any eco-village will simply perpetuate the imbalances of the current paradigm.

The best way to get started is via the AI chat agent on the site (bottom right corner), which answers most questions and redirects unresolved ideas or proposals to the team. You can also join their app, join a Neos Experience retreat, subscribe to their Substack, or follow them on Instagram to connect further.

You can book a call or connect directly to arrange an Energy Detox Session, AuraTransformation, or Balance Session with Karen.

The page points visitors to explore the vision, reserve a house, discover the Neos Center, or watch 'The Essence of Neos' to see the village come alive.

The best way to connect at this stage is by joining a Neos Experience Retreat, which allows in-person time on the land to explore alignment as the project moves into its next chapter. Karen and Vincent note that many prior email enquiries didn't get the response they deserved while they stabilized operations, so the retreat is now the recommended path.

Karen and Vincent invite readers to engage via email, a comment, or an Instagram message to share who they are and what the journey has sparked for them, hoping to eventually meet in person on the land.

She invites readers to join the online community and learning app, or to meet in person at the village academy.

Karen invites readers to join the online community and learning app, or to meet in person at the village academy soon.

Yes, the program offers deep connection and support through group coaching, enquiry, sharing, and between-session heart sharing, alongside group energy clearing, retrieval and transmissions to provide an energetic foundation for the work.

Yes, the program is explicitly designed as a supportive community: monthly deep-dive sessions, bimonthly SHE/HE gender circles, and bimonthly Community Connection Circles all provide spaces to share, heal, and grow together rather than doing the mastery work in isolation.

Yes, all packages include aftercare through group integration sessions and 1:1 coaching, plus an 8-week online integration program with weekly 1.5 hour group spaces with mentors and a private community app channel.

Yes, the programs emphasize that with dedication to a coherent path plus the support of a guide and community, participants can advance far faster than the default pace. Karen collaborates with various facilitators to bring a supportive, loving experience to participants.

Yes, Karen has coached people on masculine-feminine healing for 10 years and offers support through AuraTransformation treatments and her Blueprint Activation and Mastery Keys Programs.

Yes, Karen mentions she will soon offer the Blueprint Activation program again, and points to Anne-Chloe's masterclasses available in the neos·academy app.

The issue points to the 'awaken to self' journey/experience as a guided way to help you move from unconscious reactivity toward awakening and connecting with your higher self, referenced at the end of the article via a password-protected link.

The programs center on the 'Mastery Keys,' a system of teachings transmitted to Karen in 2011-2012, including a Guided Mastery Keys Meditation, the Cosmology of Mastery, and work on embodying full masculine-feminine actualisation. Level I focuses on listening to the body's intelligence, heart, and energy field, while Level II works with 12 Archetypes/Rays to integrate Spirit into Matter.

Karen offers energy work sessions—Energy Detox, AuraTransformation, and Balance Sessions—that read, clear, unblock, and retrieve missing energy in one's energy field, along with coaching and intuitive guidance on life path.

This issue doesn't mention Karen, but Vincent recommends connected conscious breathing practice from The Presence Process by Michael Brown, and the book The Coming Times: A Pathway to Inner Peace by Helen Jane Rose.

Karen suggests a practice of sitting with oneself or another and compassionately asking questions like 'How have I given my power away here?', 'What is there to appreciate about why my consciousness has chosen this experience?', and 'What do I need to see within myself that causes this pattern to keep showing up?' This inquiry helps people reclaim power instead of blaming others or seeking it externally.

She points to AuraTransformation as a New Time Energy treatment that helps heal and rebalance inner masculine and feminine energy, alongside the Blueprint Activation and Mastery Keys Programs she runs, which will soon be available in neos·academy.

She suggests shamanic journeying, meditation, and energy transformation, and recommends getting assistance if needed, such as through the Blueprint Activation program or Anne-Chloe's masterclasses in the neos·academy app.

Karen's mission is to help people become free and enlivened agents of alignment and pioneers of a new world through the programs she designs. She aims to help individuals connect with their greatest vision and live that path, creating intentional spaces where people break free from old programming.

Karen and Vincent recognized immediately that they share the same 'blueprint' or life mission, which is why they co-founded neos·life together without needing to align or discuss it.

Karen shares that beyond the financial investment, she has dedicated her time and life force (often cycling through burnout) to the project, and sees her role as helping cultivate the inner capacity and serenity needed to hold the community's future conflicts and challenges gracefully.

She finds fulfillment in meaningful connection, creating beauty, and facilitating transformation with other passionate souls and change makers. She brings her energy through self-mastery programs, deep initiatory consciousness work, community building, sacred space, filmmaking, and regenerative education.

Karen focuses on guiding people to disentangle from worldly illusions and reconnect with their divine essence, nature, and community, while still showing up to contribute to reconfiguring the world rather than isolating from it.

The land already includes the beginnings of a self-sufficient sanctuary, from an organic farm to energy-efficient dwellings, with each element designed to nourish, inspire, and respect the earth as shown in the drone flyover.

The land already has an airstrip, which the village plans to eventually develop into its own small airport. Zoning work is underway, with residential areas being mapped on south-facing hills and plains to the south of the central lake.

The retreat description mentions the land includes 1000 acres (also cited as 500 hectares) with lakes to swim in and luxurious chill-out and practice spaces. It notes that through 2025-2027 the space will continue to upgrade, eventually offering a full spa and a unique ceremonial dome.

The land is operational with its own drinking water sources, several water bodies including a dam, 170 cows and other animals, cork trees, existing buildings with 19 bedrooms plus a restaurant and social spaces (currently used for hunting tourism), agricultural equipment, and even its own airplane landing strip.

Education centers on three dimensions — self, relational, and environmental — drawing from Forest School, Montessori, and Steiner approaches, with hands-on learning, creative studios, and later rites of passage and practical skills training for teens.

The program is structured as an evolving spiral across three interconnected dimensions—Self, Relational, and Environmental—using experiential components like immersion weekends, vision circles, deep dives, and expert expeditions rather than traditional lecture-based learning.

Neos builds children's education around the same Self, Relational, and Environmental framework used for adults, blending forest-school, Montessori and Steiner-inspired hands-on learning with a thread of age-appropriate self-knowledge and consciousness work.

Instead of a one-size-fits-all classroom approach focused on rules, exams, and conditioning, Neos emphasizes teaching people how to think as sovereign beings—covering mindfulness, non-violent communication, respect for nature, growing food, and self-love.

This issue doesn't cover Neos investment details; instead it notes that joining the gathering helps its facilitator, Karen, continue building The New Earth School, a not-for-profit educational organisation, with more info at www.thenewearthschool.org.

Full details are laid out in the Neos Village Funding Codex, which covers land ownership, development costs, the 'Neos Coin', legal aspects, residency, and more; you're encouraged to read it before joining a live Q&A call.

You can find the investment deck, 1-pager, newsletters, and retreat programs at neos.life/links, and connect directly with Karen and Vincent if interested in investing or joining.

Interested potential investors can fill out the form at ir.neolsife.com to be considered for the April 10-14 experience.

You can book a HALO Weekend, retreat, or program directly through the site, host your own event on the land, or follow along via their Substack and Instagram (@neos life) for deeper updates.

You can RSVP for free to join the Zoom session on Tuesday, and to stay current with neos·life news you can join their active WhatsApp community.

The app mentioned offers quality academy masterclasses with multiple experts, along with networking and community connection, and is currently free to join until programs begin later in 2025.

neos·academy, previously known as The New Earth School, is a self-funded not-for-profit Community Interest Company that proposes a new education system concept. It aims to make expertise on holistic, eco-regenerative living accessible to everyone, activating each individual's potential rather than conditioning them.

The issue outlines the five New Earth Ways as the core cultural principles taught through neos center's programs: Deepen Awareness (Consciousness), Respect Life Energy (Sacredness), Embody your Blueprint (Embodiment), Wholeness & Balance (Balance), and Creation of Beauty (Elevation).

Self, Relational, and Environmental are the three interconnected content dimensions of transformation learning content in neos·academy.

It covers the whole child's journey from earliest years through teenage rites of passage, with teenagers eventually training alongside adults at Neos Center through real internships in healing arts, facilitation, operations and land stewardship.

The initial approach targets adults, but the vision is to eventually embrace all age groups, passing knowledge from adults to teenagers and children through schooling, home education, and rites of passage.

This issue doesn't explicitly define a shift from IQ to weQ; instead it frames life as remembering you are consciousness (God) playing a human game, and 'winning' means waking up while still playing, together with others in service of a collective awakening.

It refers to Simon Confino's masterclasses, part of The New Earth School collaboration, which focus on moving from individual intelligence (IQ) toward collective, relational intelligence (weQ).

This issue does not mention Skai; it instead introduces filmmaker Nik Tenney, who created the film 'The Essence of Neos' after meeting Karen and Vincent on the Earth One Atlantic Crossing.

Skai is a quantum healer from France who spent 3 years in silence mastering his energy; he has helped clients reverse chronic diseases like Crohn's, Sjogren's, Cancer, and Neuropathy, and created an energy practice called Master Your Immune Force which he offers for free.

Pledging is not an investment with fixed ROI but a commitment toward co-ownership of the land and, where applicable, home development — the size of your land/home allocation scales with your contribution (e.g. a €200k pledge might cover a €100k land share plus €100k toward building a home), and founding members get discounted or free access to the Center.

Founding investors will be at the forefront of neoslife's development, with the option to be among the first to build a house on the land, and they can benefit from neoslife's experiences and services for the rest of their life.
