Calling all queer* nature lovers to join us for a week of co-created fun, bewilderment, joy, reflection, pleasure and exploration. At the height of summer, we will gather in this little corner of the Alto Alentejo and share our passions and interests, our explorations and discoveries.

The week is run in an open space format, where each participant is invited to contribute. With these contributions, we will create our agenda for the week and create a week full of co-creation and co-exploration. Do you want to show us how to make vegan cheese? Find queer plants at the Quinta? Create a ritual in the threshing circle? Share how to massage feet? Crochet a tree cover? Bring together a cuddle puddle? Connect over a tea ceremony? Talk about nature tantra? Read poetry? … Bring your ideas and join us!

Our days during the week will involve caring for and connecting to the land, sharing meals and a wide variety of different explorations and experiences with your fellow community members.
