Death Café
Entre Mundos

Led by a group of women drawn together by the inevitability that unites us all - Entre Mundos - this is an open gathering to talk about death and dying

A “Death Café” is not a reading session, nor a professional support group for dealing with grief or emotional pain. However, grief and emotions may, of course, be shared. Instead, it is a safe and informal space where anyone can reflect on death, voice questions, fears or curiosities, and listen to different perspectives with respect and openness.

In a warm and welcoming atmosphere, participants are invited to sit around the table, enjoy cake, sip hot tea, and let the conversation flow naturally.

A community choir that brings together voices of different ages and backgrounds, celebrating the joy of singing together.

Sattva Yoga
with Raquel Louçã and Sérgio Ayni

Rooted in an ancient tradition originating in the Himalayas, this practice offers a wide range of techniques that support each person in building a healthier and more balanced life, honouring their true nature, regardless of age, body or previous experience with yoga.

Sattva Yoga goes far beyond the more common Western approach, which focuses mainly on physical postures and a brief meditation at the end of the class. Its vision is deeply holistic, placing strong emphasis on Pranayama and Kriyas — breathing exercises and techniques that combine repetitive movements with conscious breathing or mantras.

In some sessions, time is also dedicated to sound healing, using various musical instruments such as Tibetan singing bowls, gongs and flutes. These sound vibrations promote deep and immediate relaxation, both physically and mentally.

Classes vary in intensity and character: some are softer and more meditative, while others are more dynamic and energetic, incorporating group work and, at times, dance. Each class is a unique experience.
