THE MOUNTAIN
A sanctuary for nature, spirit, art, and community
Tucked in the hills of Ericeira, The Mountain is a cultural and ecological sanctuary — where architecture, land regeneration, artistic expression, and spiritual practice meet.
Rooted in a protected ecological zone, the space is guided by three principles: minimal structures, living soil, and collective ritual.
OUR VISION
This is not
a private retreat.
It’s a shared space — shaped by the people who care for it.
Not a stage, but a field of collaboration, open to the world yet rooted in place.
The Mountain is more than a place — it’s a movement in harmony with land, culture, and collective care. We aim to:
Restore ecosystems through native planting, soil regeneration, and the protection of pollinators
Integrate art into the terrain — through installations, sound, and performance that emerge from and respond to the land
Support spiritual and educational practices that draw on sacred geometry, ancestral knowledge, and the wisdom of place
Foster community involvement through workshops, rituals, and co-creation across the seasons
A LIVING RYTHM
OF PARTICIPATION
THE
TEMPLE
Crown of the Mountain
At the summit, a sacred form emerges: two inverted pyramids — one rising to the light, the other descending into shadow.
Above, sky and clarity; below, earth and mystery. Together, they hold a space of balance, shaped in sacred geometry and aligned with the cosmos.
The Temple is not built to impress, but to attune.
It gathers rain, breathes with the land, and invites stillness — a place to realign spirit, body, and soil.
We are inviting guardians, visionaries, and stewards.
To help shape this living altar. To serve presence. To walk with reverence.
THE BEE HIVE HUTS
The Healing Hum
Hidden within the hillside, the Bee Hive Huts offer a sanctuary unlike any other — where healing comes not through words, but through vibration and breath.
Inside, you rest above living hives.
Your body begins to tune itself to the soft, continuous hum of thousands of bees — a natural frequency that soothes the nervous system, calms the mind, and restores inner balance.
These are spaces of listening, deep rest, and cellular harmony.
We welcome those who feel called to co-create and care for these chambers of resonance — spaces where nature does the healing, and we simply receive.
THE MUSICAL STAGE
Where the Land Speaks
Shaped into the hillside, the natural amphitheater is not built — it’s revealed.
Stone, grass, and air form a stage where music breathes with the land.
Here, sound travels with grace.
Voices rise, drums pulse, and silence holds space for it all.
This is more than a stage — it’s a ritual ground for expression, woven into nature.
We invite musicians, poets, and sound keepers to help bring it to life.
To gather, to create, and to let the Mountain sing.
THE TEMPLE OF THE BODY
Movements as prayer
In the heart of the Mountain, a space opens to the sky — a platform for movement, breath, and awakening.
Here, the body is not separate from spirit. It is the temple.
We stretch, dance, and sweat to remember what it means to be fully alive.
Beside it, the temazcal awaits — a womb of fire and steam, where we purify, release, and begin again.
This is a space for those who honour the body as a gateway.
To move with intention. To train with presence. To return to strength and softness.
Join us in shaping this sanctuary — where discipline becomes devotion, and the body becomes a path.

A sanctuary that grows through care, creativity, and connection — rooted in Earth, and shaped by all who walk its paths.
