7-14 July, Portugal, Lisbon area

It’s been three years since the very start of this project with the purchase of the land in Sapataria. A lot has happened since then, but this July we’ll start the next stage as we finish construction — a project by fala atelier including two new residential buildings, a big community living space and a 200 sqm dancehall, all buried under the earth with views of our eponymous valley.

We’re quite excited about the new buildings, but what does the new phase mean for the life of the project?

After three years of non-structured underground residencies for friends (and probably some of the most exciting people on planet earth), we’re moving closer to the purpose of the Valley project, with the focus shifting to more structured residencies and retreats.

To mark this transition into the next phase, we’re hosting a week that will fill the new spaces with life, including co-created workshops and events, contact improvisation jams, meditation, dialogue practices, sessions on governance and attentional practices, and a three-day ‣, a pioneer of circling and one of the founders of Circling Europe.

You are welcome to join for the full week, just the circling immersion, just the first four days of workshops, or just the party on Sunday 14th from 3pm.

More details on the program for the week are coming soon!
