We'd really love to have all families join ❤️

One big bit of feedback last year was to make the festival longer, and to keep the intimacy even as we grow. As it always takes a few days to settle, that's why it's 7 days!

It's also why we've decided to only offer 7 day tickets, as having people join halfway through really changes the energy.

 We are aware a lot of families are keen to join for shorter, so we are considering this if sales don't go well, but we're expecting to sell out by the end of July.

 If you can't make it work for the whole time, we can add you to our list of families to invite by the end of July!

Last year we offered tickets without food, but nearly everyone changed their mind when they saw the meals!
So this year, to simplify the kitchen and supplies we are only offering full board tickets.

Furthermore as the venue has a strict policy of no access to the kitchen and no customer refrigerators, it wouldn't last the week!

You can bring your own tent. Camping is included in the ticket. If you wish to book a Glamping tent or other types of accommodation from Aterra you can do it after selecting your ticket.

The festival will be from 28th of August until the 3rd of September 2023.

It will take place at Aterra Eco Boutique close to Odemira, in Alentejo, South Portugal.

The exact location can be found here.

There will be a wide range of activities for children, including interactive workshops, arts and crafts, Waldorf-inspired crafts & nature rituals, outdoor games, storytelling sessions, nature exploration, body painting (natural paint), bubble land, and much more.

We are creating a programme where the needs of our children can be fully met, whilst also meeting the needs of us parents & caregivers… There will be various activities and workshops that cater specifically to the interests and needs of parents, including men and women’s circles, breathwork, couples relating, yoga, somatic movement, voice activation, Watsu water treatment, and much more!

This festival was made exactly for this purpose! To allow parents to feel safe in a family-friendly atmosphere. This means that sessions can have babes in arms, or there will be activities or support during sessions so you can join them whilst your children are being cared for.

We've taken on feedback from the pilot, and will have designated areas for children to nap, will have extra hands that will be able to support your little one whilst you are in a session. 

Yes, we welcome individuals to contribute as facilitators or space holders at the festival. If you have something to offer that you think it’s aligned with the event, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please fill this form for further details of your offering(s). We’ll get back to you soon. Let's create a beautiful festival experience together!

Unfortunately, we cannot allow pets at the festival due to the presence of animals already at the venue.

Yes, parking is included in the ticket. If you’re coming with your RV there will be a specific parking area for that.

Please bring cash or use MBWAY (Portuguese payment system).

Mostly vegan

3 meals a day (except for the arrival and departure days)

A paid bar and new snack bar is available this year

*** Unfortunately the onsite kitchen is off limits.

The festival activities will primarily be conducted in English. However, due to the diverse mix of nationalities and the presence of bilingual space holders, there will be opportunities for multilingual communication and support. We encourage a spirit of openness and community, and we are confident that attendees will assist with translations when needed.

To nurture connections and facilitate pre-festival interactions, we’ll be establishing a WhatsApp group and a virtual circle a month prior to the event. These platforms will provide participants with an opportunity to connect with each other in advance.

Buying a raffle ticket will either refund your tickets or put you in the "hat" for winning them.

Entering doesn’t guarantee you tickets and accommodation isn't included, so to avoid disappointment if we sell out, buy your tickets and accommodation (if you want another type apart from bringing your own tent) in advance along with a raffle ticket (or two!).

Announcing at the start of August!

We prioritise the safety and well-being of all festival attendees. While we have first aid stations available, we rely on the collective support of our community to look out for one another too.

Yes, a detailed schedule and program will be provided prior to the festival. It will include information about the timing and locations of activities, workshops, performances, and other events happening throughout the seven days. You can check last year’s schedule here to know what to expect.
