Olive Harvest Week
2024-11-03 - 2024-11-11
The olive harvest, a much-loved tradition in southern European countries, marks the finale of our harvest season. It’s a time when we all come together, sharing the fruits of our labour with friends, dancing, singing, and celebrating the bonds of love and connection. It’s our way of preparing for the winter that lies ahead, and we do it with joy and togetherness in our hearts.
During the Quinta’s Olive Harvest week, we come together to harvest the olives from the land. Olives are symbols of friendship and reconciliation, cleansing and healing, light, abundance and, above all, a sign of peace. Oil can bring us food, light, beauty and touch. It is sensual.
This week, we’re embracing our roots and celebrating the beautiful traditions of harvest. We’re full of joy to gather our queer* community on the land for this special time. We’ll roll up our sleeves to work the land and pick those olives, and we’ll come together for a joyful celebration of our deep bond with nature and with each other. It’s a week of togetherness, fun, dancing and singing, sharing food and love, and honouring the traditions that make us who we are.
Arrival/Departure
Please arrive on Sunday afternoon. If coming by bus from Lisbon, we can collect you from Marvão. We will have a tour of the land and the facilities at 16:00, followed by a dinner together.
Departure is after brunch the next Sunday.

Ecoqueer Research Week
2023-09-03 - 2023-09-11
Join us in September 2023 for a week of reading, discussion, and debate on the topic of ecoqueer theory.
The Quinta Project understands itself as an ecoqueer experimental space, and we will spend the week teasing out the possibilities of the term. In what way can the two ideas of ecology and queerness excite, illuminate, and expand each other? What does it mean for our ecology to be queer, or for our queerness to be ecological?
Drawing on a wealth of writing – from interviews and magazine pieces to scholarly articles and monographs – we will think through how our land-based practice can benefit from an engagement with theory, and how theory needs to adapt in order to accommodate and celebrate practice. We will consider how ecoqueer ideas might inform the way we live alongside each other, interact with other species, and use space and materials.
Each day will offer opportunities for study and reflection, as well as discussion over communal meals. We will also work the land together, getting to know the practices of the Quinta Project in order to understand better how they resonate with the ideas of philosophers and theorists. By the end of the week, we will use our developing ideas to revisit and revise the Quinta Manifesto, shaping and sharpening the Quinta Project’s political aspirations. This will be a week of learning, idea sharing, and intellectual companionship as we continue our quest for the good ecoqueer life.
Arrival/Departure
Please arrive on Sunday afternoon. If coming by bus from Lisbon, we can collect you from Marvão. We will have a tour of the land and the facilities at 16:00, followed by a dinner together.
Departure is after brunch the next Sunday.

Creative Week
2023-07-16 - 2023-07-24
In July 2023, the Quinta Project will host its first creative week.
Over the course of seven days, we will produce an anthology of writing and images inspired by the Quinta’s 5.5 hectares of stunning land. Beneath soaring eagles, in the shade of cork oaks and olive groves, and to the sound of waterfall and cicadas, we will write and craft our responses to this exquisite ecoqueer experimental space.
Whether you are a budding beginner or a seasoned scribbler, we would love you to join us. All forms and styles are welcome: short fiction, poetry, nature writing, memoir, and pencil sketch, watercolour, photography.
Over communal meals each evening, we will share our work and together build a collection which will communicate the project’s values and become the first publication of the newly-formed Quinta Press. In addition, each day we will work the land together, getting to know its rhythms and personality, developing our sensory relationships with the landscape, and taking part in creative workshops on topics ranging from movement and dance to craft and oral storytelling.
Most importantly, over the course of a week, we will create community and shared experiences in this queer corner of the Alto Alentejo.

Ecofeminist Week
2023-05-21 - 2023-05-29
Join the circle, dear ones, for a week of embodied ecofeminism. Reconnect with nature, as nature.
During our week at The Quinta Project we will create a temporary community where each one is responsible for the whole and all will contribute to the shape, content, and outcome of our time together. As we collect and review current applications certain themes have been presented that we wish to explore further during our time together. These include, but are not necessarily limited to:
-food sovereignty
-sacredness of nature and celebration through ritual, art, and embodiment practices
-cooperation with nature
-reclaiming ancestral traditions and methods
-collectivist models and co-creation
-challenging binary notions
-nurturing care for the land, each other, our self
When applying for a place please indicate how you might contribute to the shape, content, or outcome for the week. Do you have an activity that you’d love to lead that ties in with one of the themes? Is there another theme you would like to add to the week? Do you have a special skill that you could offer? Is there a way in which you can support the group?
This week we will be prioritizing applicants who identify as FLINTA (female, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, trans, agender) though all are welcome to apply.

Quinta Community Call
2023-02-16 19:30 - 21:00
Doubtful Forms –
Darwin’s Origin of Species what we think we know, and what we might have missed….
Darwin’s book grew to be a “theory of everything” of its time, challenging the orthodox fixed view of nature at the time. Frequently misinterpreted, and maligned the Book and Darwin’s work provides a framework for thinking about the natural world, and the impact it had tells us much about societies reaction to radical ideas.
Tom Blower grew with a deep fascination with the natural world. Graduating from Oxford with a degree in Zoology, Tom participated in expeditions to the deserts of India and the rainforests of Borneo. He has continued to learn supplementing his working career with further qualifications in Environmental Sciences, Adult Education & Development. He has lived and worked in Asia, the Middle East, London, and Sussex, where he currently lives. A qualified executive coach, Tom helps people change through dialogue, experience and sharing insight. In all things he has tried to understand how systems work through balancing certainty with possibility and variability. Key to his understanding of the world around us has been the framework of evolution – the causes of what is, and the emergence of what could be.

FoodPod Cookalong
2023-01-24 18:30 - 21:00
The Quinta FoodPod invites you to an evening of seasonal, local and vegan food and great company. We will use produce from the Quinta veggie gardens to create a meal – and enjoy it together: It’s like one of the dinners at the Quinta, where we are sitting together, chatting, laughing, loving and creating community. Though today, you can join from wherever you are in the world!
The recipe is shared a few days before (please ensure that you are registered using the link below!). We will send you a list of ingredients that we will be using. On the day, we will cook the meal together – and share it with everyone on the call, no matter where you are in the world.
The FoodPod is the pod that looks after the food on the Quinta. We love fresh, seasonal food from the Quinta vegetable gardens – and we love to share this with everyone on the Quinta – and around the world. Over the past year, the Quinta has gained quite a reputation for exciting and interesting vegan and vegetarian food on site. With the cookalong, we share a few of the “kitchen secrets” and share the love for food and good company.

Quinta Community Call
2023-01-18 19:30 - 21:00
Selling Out!!
The complicated relationship between commercialisation, consumption and (mostly gay) liberation
From maligned minority to celebrated marketing icon: The relationship between the queer community and the wider (neo-liberal) economy is a complicated one. In the Community Call I will look at the history of how the relationship emerged and developed, and how this shaped the (mostly) gay community today.
With Stephan Dahl, who, before founding the Quinta Project, was an academic researching marketing. Stephan has published widely (and continues to do so), including the books Social Marketing (Pearson), Marketing Ethics & Society (Sage), Marketing Communications (Routledge), Social Media Marketing (Sage) and co-edited The Handbook of Marketing Ethics (Sage).

Autumn is the season of true abundance. Join us to celebrate this time of plenty on the Quinta!
Experience community and enjoy the gifts of nature as we celebrate with our first theme week, dedicated to harvesting and preserving food grown on the Quinta or produced locally.

Beyond preserving the food, we invite you to explore with us the local (vegetarian) food scene. Try local delicacies, and create imaginative dishes for the community from seasonal fruit and vegetables.
Every day, we will have activities which will help us to connect to the land and the produce, and to grow as a community. We will also offer off-site visits, including trips to local markets and producers. All the delicious vegetarian or vegan food during the week will be shared as we come together to enjoy each other’s company and savour the fruits of our labour. To end the week, we will have a closing celebration, where we will invite local friends and neighbours to join us.
Accommodation during the week will be in shared double rooms and/or a shared sleeping space at Community House. Alternatively, you are invited to bring a tent to sleep on the land. For more information about accommodation and daily life at the Quinta, click here.

Queer Book Club
2021-08-30 19:30 - 21:00
About the TQP Queer Book Club
The TQP Queer Book Club is a lively and engaging discussion group, where we focus on queer and/or writers who focus on sustainability. We aim to focus more on the writer and their works, rather than on a specific work.
The book for this month’s meeting can be found on the Book Club Page here.
Everyone who attends is invited to bring their view of one of the works they have read to the group. If you haven’t read any of the works, but are interested in the writer, you are, of course, also welcome. Our aim is to create a space in which queer and sustainable writers are discussed and promoted, and we encourage curiosity and interest and love to inspire people to read writers that are the topic of the meeting.
Please check the community forum for details of the author/book.
