Unite the tribes
Come as you are.
Held by Alex Wirthl, Miguel Sevilhano and Pedro Collares.
Brother,
What began as a vision held by Alex and Pedro has grown into a living brotherhood. Miguel walks with them. Ten editions have already risen through the fire. This one returns to Monte da Orada at the spring equinox.
A pulse beating through time. A call to the fathers, the sons, the leaders, the dreamers. To the man behind every mask, tired of carrying it alone.
Here we do not only remember. We reclaim. We rebuild the bridge between what was and what is to come. We meet wounds with courage, brothers with trust, ourselves with honesty.
Through ritual, men's work, and community. Come as you are. Stand as you have not stood. The circle is waiting. The fire is lit.
If this is you
Six places men get stuck.
You do not need the perfect name for it. If one of these is true, the intensive is the first step. Not the whole life. The door.
- 01
You say you are fine. The people closest to you feel the distance.
- 02
What you cannot name comes out as anger, shutdown, drink, or more work.
- 03
The same fight. The same silence. A pattern you swore you would not repeat.
- 04
You are carrying what your father could not put down, and you do not want to hand it on.
- 05
Life looks solid from the outside. Inside, you are tired of doing it alone.
- 06
You feel alone in the world. People are around. Nobody is with you.
The first step is to sit with other men. Book the call for this intensive.

The land
Monte da Orada, in the woods of Odemira.
An ancient sanctuary in a valley of Alentejo. A powerful place. A retreat centre that is properly held.
You sleep in white farmhouses with terracotta roofs, in a fold of the Odemira woods, South West Portugal, near the Algarve border. Forest, creek, a spring that has been used for healing baths. The family who lives in this valley has rebuilt the land with permaculture, native forest, and water kept in the ground. It is not a hotel with a workshop room bolted on. The house is equipped for this work: a wooden practice hall, an indoor pool, a sauna, terraces into the trees, an outdoor kitchen, organic vegetarian meals cooked from the garden and from local produce. You walk out of the circle into forest. You eat. You rest. You go back in.
