Eco Life Experience

Eco Life Experience runs workshops and reconnection sessions in Sintra, built around three pillars: reconnection with nature, with oneself and with others. It's a registered eco-tourism and cultural animation project, operated by Fuga Perfeita – Animação e Turismo Cultural, Lda, and has been on the RNAAT (National Register of Tourist Animation Agents) since 2004. Its eco-experiences combine sustainability, personal development and reconnecting with nature. The programme includes half-day and full-day reconnection sessions, herbalism workshops and family constellation sessions. There are also artisan workshops such as sourdough bread-making, botanical printing on fabric and natural candle-making. Experiences can be personalised or run for groups. They take place at natural sites such as the Eco Retiro de Galamares and at various eco-villages in the Sintra area, including Eco Aldeia de Janas and Eco Aldeia de Cabrum. The project starts from the belief that everything (humans, nature and all living beings) is interconnected, and that conscious living begins with reconnecting to that whole. Participants are invited to step out of their daily routines, practise mindfulness and become active agents of change towards a more sustainable and respectful relationship with the planet. The team includes therapists and wellness practitioners, so healing and personal growth work is part of the project's eco-education offer. In São Pedro de Sintra, Eco Life Experience also runs a co-working and lab space, a creative hub for sustainability-focused initiatives.
