Eros in Nature Week
2025-06-23 - 2025-06-28
This Gathering is Full
Join us for a week of deep connection and exploration in the untamed beauty of the Quinta. Together, we’ll immerse ourselves in themes of eros, bodywork, sensuality, tantra, and the powerful bonds that form when GBTQ-men come together in community. Each day, we’ll co-create the next day’s program through an open-space format (see FAQ for details), allowing everyone to contribute their unique energy and ideas. This is an invitation to share, explore, and celebrate our connection to one another and the natural world around us.

Olive Harvest Week
2025-11-02 - 2025-11-08
The olive harvest is a cherished tradition in Southern Europe and the perfect way to wrap up our season at the Quinta. It’s one of our favourite times of year, when we come together to gather olives from the land—symbols of friendship, peace, abundance, and sensual beauty. Olive oil brings us food, light, touch, and connection, making this harvest truly special.
Join us as we celebrate this rich tradition with our community. We’ll roll up our sleeves to pick olives, then share in the joy of being together. Expect a week filled with laughter, dancing, singing, great food, and olives, of course! Come be part of this celebration of love, land, and tradition.
