Live Without Compromise
Imagine a place with the depth of a retreat. The vibrancy of a festival. And the drive of a startup incubator.
Located in the countryside of Portugal – near a modern hub like Ericeira, Lisbon or Lagos. Surrounded by forests, rivers, fields, lakes and sun. Yet still able to access ‘normal reality’.
The Campus will have 4 distinct areas:
This is where people live – for one to six months per year. We’ll have a mix of accommodations; from studios to 4 bedroom houses. And yeah, it’ll be kids friendly : )
Expect also a bunch of shared spaces – soft-floor lounges, huge outdoor kitchen, big-ass speakers, a pool, sanded volleyball court, sauna etc.
The Village
Where people stay, who are coming less than a month. Expect dorm rooms, studios, bungalows and glamping. Along with shared kitchens, outdoor lounges & more.
People here are coming for retreats, intimate festivals & colivings – with full access to the yin and yang areas.
The Cove
For intentional practices, flow & simply ‘being’.
With a large yoga shala – where there’ll be ongoing programming from meditative paths.
There will also be the zen library – an indoor-outdoor space thats always in noble silence.
And, a distance aways .. will be the ceremony yurt.
The Yin Area
For making things happen.
This will have a large, airy cowork space. A maker’s workshop – where people can build & craft things.
And a gym dojo – indoor-outdoor space with functional training, weights, and a dedicated zone for muay-thai / jiu-jitsu.
The Yang Area
We’ll lease out the land around us, to aligned projects. Eg: permaculture farm, organic cafe, beekeeping, climbing gym, horse sanctuary, woodworkers, alternative school
Underlying Tenets
Our hope is that this becomes a ‘second home’ for those on the middle path. Somewhere you can come for shorter experiences – to glimpse your innate being. Somewhere you can come for months every year – to take action from that innate being.
Our values are honesty, presence & compassion – measured through our actions.
To cultivate a healthy awareness, we must limit the power of screens. Certain spaces on the Campus will be screens-free.
The rhythm of the Campus will be held together by practices from non-dual paths that have thrived for at least 10 generations.
Direct contact with the natural world is needed – cycles of life & death, primal experiences, and regeneration of the land.
We live with one foot in reality as we want it to be and one foot in reality as it is. It really is all about balance.
We don’t need to take it too seriously all the time. And yes, that includes all of it ; )
