WORKSHOPS, RETREATS AND EVENTS
Our retreats, workshops, and events are unique and different in their syllabus, but they all have the same fundamental goal as their essence; individual and collective growth through creative and artistic experimentation. Some activities may rely on one or a selected few disciplines of fine arts. Some might have yogic and meditation practices while others might have critical thinking or other philosophical disciplines as their auxiliary components. Some might be open to public, and some might be organized specifically for you, your family, your company, or your group of friends. Explore our calendar for more, and if you have something specific in mind, get in touch with us.
FACILITIES FOR RENT
Our loft-style room, located on the second floor of our newly renovated “palleira”, is a multi-purpose glass box overlooking the incredible Minho Valley and its diverse ecosystem. It is perfect for any kind of collective activity, workshops or private events. Musicians love to use it as a rehearsal, inspiration and recording space. It is also perfect for painters and visual artists to display their work. And yoga and meditation teachers find it ideal for their classes and retreats. The first floor is equipped with a full kitchen, dining space and full bathroom, so you will have a comfortable space for your group of friends, your family or your company. Organize your next activity here and be inspired by our incredible views over a sea of clouds. See available dimensions and floor plans or contact us for specific details.

Have you ever slept in a geodesic dome or experienced glamping? Have you ever woken up with the chirping of the birds in an untouched forest, facing the breathtaking valley of river Miño in absolute comfort? We are proud to be the first to offer you this unique experience! Our geodesic domes designed to host up to four guests are equipped with full bathroom and shower, hot water, air conditioner and the best views imaginable. During your stay our communal kitchen and eatery can meet your culinary needs. The surrounding nature, neighbouring vineyards, and various trekking routes are mesmerizing in all seasons. A ten-minute drive away there is a lovely beach where you can sunbathe on the banks of the mighty Miño or go for a swim. And last but not the least, you can always partake in our artistic activities, connect with your creative self, or make new friends!
RURAL COWORKING
During the low tourist season our loft is converted into a coworking space. This glass box loft facility equipped with WIFI has breathtaking panoramic views, benefits from ample light and is airconditioned. It will probably be the best rural coworking space you have ever visited! Your bedroom, shared with three other digital nomads, is a geodesic dome nestled in an untouched forest. It is airconditioned, dry, and cosy, has incredible views, a full bathroom and shower and is perfect for a slowlife approach to work. Your meals are prepared on a daily basis in our kitchen and eatery facility. They are prepared with love from fresh first-grade local produce within the radius of thirty kilometres from our village. And when you desire to unwind there is plenty of routes to explore, a new vibrant community of cohorts to intermingle with, and local hot springs to soak in. So, get your laptop and backpack ready for this one-of-a-kind experience.
