Next chapter: Fools Valley, Portugal
4th July – 2nd August 2026
Fools Valley
Deep in Portugal, there is a place called Fools Valley.
Down a road that feels like it's keeping a secret. Past the olive groves. Into a private valley that somehow manages to be thirty minutes from Lisbon and twenty from the Atlantic and feel like neither. Like something older. Something that was waiting.
This is your home for the month. Not a hotel. Not a venue. A home with a pool, a pond, a sauna, a dance hall, a co-working space where ideas arrive easily, and a private chef who conjures three nourishing meals a day from things that grew nearby.
Everything here is designed, quietly and carefully, to bring you back to yourself. Your circadian rhythm, the one the modern world quietly broke slowly returns. You sleep deeply. Think clearly. Feel more like yourself, or perhaps like the person you always suspected you could be.
The rituals & the rhythms
Enough structure to hold you, enough spaciousness to surprise you.
The Opening Ceremony: A Mystery School for Connection
Your first weekend together is a mystery school for connection. Everyone must arrive by 12pm on July 4th. It’s super important we open the experience together.
Whiteboard
A whiteboard that each of you is encouraged to fill with your ideas and offerings.
Daily Rituals
Sunrise tea ceremonies, morning intention settings, movement, lunch & learns… we get to create them, together.
Deep Work
Opportunities created to get into deep focus with supportive accountability and collaboration if useful. It could be your most productive month of the year.
Peer Workshops
Everyone in this house knows something the others don’t. We make structured space for that exchange. You will teach. You will be taught. Often by the person you least expected.
Giving Back
Opportunities to give back to the local community. Being of service.
Community & Hosting
Some days the valley belongs only to us — intimate, held, sacred. Other days we open the gates and invite our wider European community in.
And then: a French castle
For those who wish to continue the story, an invitation awaits. The week immediately after Portugal, a curated festival in a stunning château in France. The same spirit. A grander stage. Optional.
Dream Dues
Choose what
you can give
Most people spend €4–6k on a single transformational week. Dream House is a month. Not-for-profit by design. Everything is included from the moment you arrive — your private room, meals, and every community experience.
We offer a sliding scale: those who pay more help cover the true cost of running the residency and fund financial aid making this genuinely available to everyone who's meant to be here.
€5,000
covering true costs of 1 person
