Our last gathering in Azóia.
Join us for a beautiful celebration of life, movement and connection. 💚
Madreselva Gathering
The Celebration of Life
Dance, Ritual, and Community
💚 We open the doors of Madreselva for a special gathering, a moment to come together in celebration, presence, and shared experience.
💚 This will be our last event in Azóia, the closing of a cycle in a place that has held so many memories, processes, and encounters over the years.
💚This time we come together to celebrate what has been lived here, and to mark the threshold into what is to come.
Over three days, we weave a living tapestry of the arts of music, healing, and ritual.

The Facilitators
This gathering is held by a close circle of facilitators and artists, a living tribe around Madreselva with whom we have been walking and collaborating over the years.
Each brings their own expression through movement, sound, ritual, and art, yet all share a common ground of presence, depth, and care for the spaces they hold
Madreselva
Madreselva is an eco-sustainable healing center in the beautiful Sintra mountains.
⛰️ Only 40 km distance from Lisbon. Surrounded by lush forests and wild beaches, Madreselva offers a deep connection with the elements, simplicity, and the natural rhythm of Life.
⛰️ The place is designed to have the minimum ecological imprint, built with local, ecological and reused materials. It has ecological dry-toilets, showers, a kitchen, the Temazcal sweat lodge, a beautiful forest area, and vegetables garden.
⛰️ Our healing temple and accommodations are in original yurts, where you will benefit from contact with the Elements, the Nature that embraces and regenerates.

The Spirit of the Village
✨ This gathering is held with the spirit of a village, where children are not on the side, but at the heart of the space. Their presence is part of the rhythm, their voices part of the atmosphere, their way of being a reminder of what is simple, alive, and real.
✨ All activities are conceived with this in mind, allowing children to be present, included, and free to move in their own way within the flow of the gathering.
✨And when they choose not to participate, there is a wide space for free play in the forest, places to explore, to imagine, to paint, and to create with simple materials.
We do ask that children remain under the attentive care of a responsible adult at all times.
The Food
🥗 Our kitchen team will be bringing nourishment, vitality, and plenty of yumminess to each day.
🥗 Thoughtfully prepared, with local and seasonal vegetables and fruits, and organic whole grains.
🥗 Expect colourful plates, generous flavours, and food that feels energising, supporting a sense of lightness and wellbeing throughout the gathering.
All meals are gluten-free and sugar-free.
There will be vegetarian options available.
For a few days, we become a village again.
Celebrate life with us.
Since the beginning of time, communities have gathered to celebrate.
To mark the cycles of life, to give thanks, to share stories, music, and movement.
In these moments, something essential happens.
We remember that we are not alone.
We feel the strength of being together, the quiet joy of belonging.
