❓ What is this place?

◾A playground for the brave, the real, and the down.
◾A camp for curious weirdos.
◾A melting pot of multidisciplinary experimentation.
◾A place to work and play in private nature, just outside of Porto. This experience is not a product or goal—it is an orientation toward life, work, and play as a learning, creative, collaborative, iterative growth process.

◾This is not a bar — the Garden is alcohol & smoke free. ◾This is not an intentional community. You cannot live here forever. ◾This is not an airbnb or hostel — come here with focus & responsibility. ◾This is a container designed to hold & foster connection and creation. ◾This is the culmination of three years of blood, sweat, and tears. ◾This is is an invitation to foster emergence.
