All meals, study materials, and creative resources from found natural materials are provided at Eco Aldeia do Vale. Bring comfortable outdoor clothing, water bottle, and gloves if you prefer not working with bare hands when handling soil, leaves, stones, and branches during the two-day land art creation process.
The two-day experience unfolds entirely outdoors at Eco Aldeia do Vale in Sintra, Portugal, offering immersive learning in direct contact with nature from 9:30-17:00 both days, with facilities including hot showers and WiFi plus all meals provided in this inspiring natural environment.
Through permaculture-inspired landscape observation, you'll learn to read terrain patterns, understand Sintra's flora and fauna, and responsibly harvest natural materials without environmental harm. Guided listening, visualization, and collective creation exercises deepen connection with place while building ephemeral artworks from found materials—honoring landscape's inherent beauty through site-responsive creation that grows from rather than imposes upon nature, suitable for intergenerational participation from children through adults in collaborative, imaginative atmosphere.
