Join us for a unique workshop where we’ll shape our own clay cups and explore the art of brewing wild sodas using seasonal ingredients. 🍹 In CUPS & SODAS you’ll get to:

🥤 Craft your own clay cup
🫚 Ferment seasonal wild sodas (with a ginger bug)

No experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to play, learn, and enjoy the process. 🤝 Come share a hands-on experience in community. We’ll also break bread together and snack on some yummy lacto-ferments between the two sessions.
Contribution: €48 pp.

The clay handbuilding workshop will be facilitated by Elsa from Studio Elsa ~ The fermentation side of things will be facilitated by Maia from Quinta da Cultura | The Culture Farm

…that is the question 🌱 It depends on your context. And who you ask.

🌳 When I attended an agroforestry course back in 2023 we learned all about trees and their roles and needs.

One learning that stood out: watering trees makes lazy roots. 👀 But also, adaptation and resilience take time.

Our approach: 💦 We hand-water our young trees just enough so they can survive dry spells and heat waves, but also let them endure a bit of a stress test. ♾️ Our goal is to encourage them to send their roots deeper in search of groundwater.

We’re also exploring: 🌳 Planting native trees for an increased chance of survival. 🌾 Keeping wild grasses around them high until we can interplant shrubs and bushes to offer shade and nutrients.

🤚 Most baby trees in nature would be protected by an entire ecosystem (aka forest) of support plants. The shade of the understory, the moisture of the groundcover… 🌼 🌳 🌾 When we plant young trees outside the safety of their ecosystem things can get off to a bumpy start. All the more reason to keep a watchful eye and hone our skills.

Not all will survive. 🤍 But the ones that make it through, will emerge as our resilient pioneers.

Join us for a unique workshop where we’ll shape our own clay cups and explore the art of brewing wild sodas using seasonal ingredients. 🍹 In CUPS & SODAS, we’re joining forces and invite you to get creative, and connect with traditional crafts. You’ll get to:

🥤 Craft your own clay cup
🫚 Brew a ginger bug & your own naturally fermented wild soda

No experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to play, learn, and enjoy the process. 🤝 Come share a hands-on experience in community. We’ll also break bread together and snack on some yummy lacto-ferments between the two sessions.

Hello ~ 🪚 This year we’re continuing work on the basic structural infrastructure projects that contribute to our day-to-day on our land.

While previous projects, like our outdoor kitchen and bathroom, have been more design-led, here we let the materials guide the design.

Our aims: robust, spacious, low-cost, quick to build and from mostly second-life materials. 🪵 This landed us with mix of pallets and scraps leftover from other projects as well as a 20€ sink from OLX.

✨ Sometimes, the best things emerge from thinking inside the box of what’s already there.

It’s been two years since we purchased and moved to our land. 🌱 That’s two transformative years since our dream of the life we are now living began to take root.

Life on the land has changed us in many ways. We’ve learned lessons on slowness and seasonal energies. 🌀 On the delicate balance between push and pull. On finding a rhythm that allows things to flow. Our priorities and the way we approach life on the land are continuously shape shifting…

In the wise words of one of my Permaculture teachers, Silvia Floresta from — are we farming the land or is it farming us?

Think about it.

This week was so many things… Slow yet busy. Planned yet spontaneous. Flowy yet glitchy.

A huge highlight was having Tia Lexi from .co stay with us. 💞 And all the infinite Indi cuddles. 🥰 And this beautiful evening around the fire with .torraoprimo and 🔥 Not to mention all the walks and talks and first steps and handstands…. 🤸🏻

🫧 Join me tomorrow in Caldas da Rainha to celebrate the community space & boutique shop’s official opening with a bubbly, living welcome drink. 🍹

Estaminé is a place of gathering. A place that sparks creativity and fosters community. A space that opened its doors to local makers and shakers. A space for learning, skill-sharing and connections.

Two months ago I published an open call for locations. I was looking for a roof over my head to share my fermentation workshops regularly. The minute I set foot inside I knew this was a family I wanted to be part of. The love and care that Mafalda & her team have poured into its walls speak for themselves. 💞 This space is going places. Come see for yourselves! And who knows, maybe you’ll feel inspired to host your next offering or gathering around the community table…

Pop by tomorrow and say hi! 🍹 I’m looking forward to seeing many of you there. BUBBLE BUBBLE Beijinhos, Maia

🌼 On Friday, April 24th I’ll be serving living welcome drinks at Estaminé’s official opening party from 15:00-19:00! Stop by to check out the new space, meet all the amazing makers who are infusing it with their creativity, and come taste the bubbly wild sodas and kombuchas I’ve been brewing.

🍹 On Sunday, April 26th I still have a couple of spots for my kombucha workshop! Come learn how to harness the powers of SCOBYs to ferment teas at home. DM for more info & to reserve.
