My name is Micael, I am a male Homo sapiens and I inhabit in the Mediterranean ecosystem of central Portugal. I am a father. An educator. An intuitive farmer. Neurodiverse with a high sensitivity spectrum. Passionate about sharing informal knowledge, self-taught and a tireless learner of natural cycles.
I grew up in a village with fruit trees for all seasons, five clean water springs and woods where I built bicycle paths with my friends. Today, the fruit trees are much less, the springs have dried up and the woods have been transformed in eucalyptus plantations. I studied Active Tourism and Nature Sports, which led me to discover other places and natural wonders, but also those in apparent degradation due to overuse or extraction. This led me to ask many questions and to a process of reorganization in my life, which will not end.
Seeking a place of personal and community resilience, I turned to approaches such as deep ecology, permaculture, biodynamic agriculture, natural agriculture, syntropic living, ecosystemic vision, eco-mythology, and grief cycles.
Natural Energy is the name that best represents my work, and today I live as a mission to raise awareness about the integrity of internal and external ecosystems, because I deeply believe that there is no separation between them.
