The place & the month

What you're stepping into.

A large three-storey house with room for 12–15 people, set in Óbidos, a medieval town an hour north of Lisbon and close to the Atlantic. There's a sunny garden, a pool, a private gym, and a coworking space, with a lake nearby to walk around, a shared kitchen, and quiet corners for practice.

The container carries the same spirit as September: daily practice as the spine, participant-led sessions through the day, and collaborations that become real things. The main difference is that themed weeks run through the month, one devoted to creative expression and another to breathwork, giving the group a shared current to go deeper together.

The rhythm of a day

Structure that holds. Space that opens.

Each morning

Daily practice

Movement, meditation, and somatic work to begin the day grounded. Intentional practice is the spine that makes everything else possible.

Through the day

Participant-led sessions

Workshops, teachings, and experiments offered by the people in the room. Whatever your craft, you're invited to lead it.

In the work

Project collaborations

Small teams form around shared curiosity and build something real together, then present it back to the whole group.

In the evening

Circles & celebration

Shared meals, performance, and reflection. Time to tend the field between us and to celebrate what the day made together.
