What we do

Welcome to Fonte de Mouros, the Fairy Spring. We have 8 ha = 20 acres of pasture and woodland in the middle of Galicia directly on the Camino de Santiago, 50km from Santiago airport.

We want to create an off-grid community of people who share same values of life, having a life-affirming orientation toward authentic connection.

Touch and intimacy are very important in the community in order to heal and connect with one another. Evelyn and Richard met through tantra and both have extensive tantric and shamanic experience. We aim to use these principles in our day-to-day lives. We are keen to share these practices with our new clan, creating the feeling of a tantra retreat every day. As such we particularly welcome ISTA graduates or equivalent.

The land is a former dairy farm. We are planning to grow fruit commercially. At present the only crops are chestnuts and walnuts, but we want to plant fruit, vegetables, etc. as time goes on, and aim to be self-sufficient. We have chickens and intend to get donkeys and sheep. We have our own Celtic fairy spring (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enchanted_Moura).

Currently the liveable accommodation is the ‘new’ farmhouse with four bedrooms and a communal sleeping area. Our vision is to restore the old farmhouse and convert the 100 m² barn into an event space with a gallery/hay loft for co-sleeping.

We invite you to share our finca for short or long stays and to share our co-creation. The daily routine is flexible and is decided on week by week according to the group energy and people’s work commitments. As a minimum we eat together every evening. We are strictly alcohol-free, but there are cafés/bars within walking distance on the Camino de Santiago.

Nudity and consensual intimacy are commonplace, weather permitting.

See our ideas sheet for big projects we want to do, and follow us on Facebook. Join us to help plan these and put them into action. Please note there are a dog and two cat, chickens very soon. Other people’s animals are welcome but we can talk about this before you come to see if they will fit.

Our Vision

Our primary objective is to cultivate an intimate community space. We want to bring together people who share our vision of a community who works, eats, cooks, relaxes, lives and even sleeps together.

Oak Park Commons Cohousing – Plan to Move in Fall 2025

Illinois’ first cohousing community fosters intergenerational connection, diversity, and inclusiveness. We welcome all those who share our vision of creating a sustainable residential community in a vibrant urban suburb. Oak Park Commons Cohousing seeks new members. Join the dozen households that have already helped plan and design a five story, 24-unit building near the commercial heart of Oak Park, Illinois. The building includes a mix of one, two, and three, bedroom ADA accessible units. A package friendly first floor mailroom adjoins the lobby, elevator, and parking entrances. Noise mitigation and energy efficient air conditioning assure year-round comfort. The Carpenter & Madison streets corner location includes within a pedestrian friendly half mile radius: a middle school, bus stop, grocery co-op, drug store, bank, CTA train station, Unity Temple, Rush Hospital, Fox Park, Mills Park, and many restaurants. Madison has traffic calming and bike lanes. The Village commercial center, barely a mile away offers the Lake Theatre Cinema, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Formula Fitness Center, Public Library, Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, and specialty retail and service shops. Oak Park includes excellent K-12 schools. Lincoln public elementary school offers an optional Spanish bilingual program, Gwendolyn Brooks middle school’s wonderful performing arts opportunities and OPRF high school’s great college and career prep. Eight two and three bedroom units are still available for purchase starting at $406,640. Buyers pay a five percent earnest fee when signing a purchase agreement that goes toward down payment at closing. Units available for occupancy starting the last week of October 2025. Visit our website and talk with some of our members to learn more about who we are and how we envision building our community together.   Website: https://oakparkcommons.com/ Contacts: Charles Hoch 708-721-8817; Susan Stall 708-772-8817
