This is the Festança’s area with the largest number of activities, where you have World Music concerts and also other performances between concerts!
As the term “Permanent Culture” reflects (Permaculture descends from the junction of these two words), it is the space where there is a permanent interaction of all of us within
Festança!
Travelling is a pillar of Festança’s origins. HitchFest focused this aspect on hitchhiking, a more nomadic aspect, and at Festança we will not stop doing it, but we will explore other types of alternative travelling linked to the concepts of Festança. You will be able to attend presentations and conversations.
The journey is not only made on the road, but also in the process of putting down roots!!
Two of the true essences of Festança are permaculture and self-sufficiency combined with natural construction! You will be able to attend presentations and workshops.
You probably already know about the impressive knowledge that Masanobu Fukuoka left us, and you will understand why we were inspired by him to name this space.
Ancestral wisdom is (and was) very important, and we want to share with you a lot of that self-knowledge that contributes to your personal development!!
As a way to combine this wisdom with what the various generations have developed over the years, and to enable different perspectives and visions on the course of our present and future at a local level and then on a larger scale to be presented, in this space you can learn and also share with others, in the form of workshops, presentations and conversations.
The community kitchen is an important part of Festança, because in addition to promoting group spirit and mutual help, it develops awareness for natural and healthy food, and for the natural cures associated with it. You will have access to conversations, workshops and presentations.
It is knowledge that will be shared in this “forest”!
With its name inspired by the network of co-operatives Longo Mai and its functionality, this space shows examples of self-sufficiency projects related to the thematics of Festança, from permaculture to natural construction, among others. You will have access to presentations and workshops.
The domino effect that is intended for more people to feel inspired to create their projects cooperating or even individually, can be inspiring!
Art challenges the mind! It has a purpose of clarifying and challenging the sometimes not evident, and so it often makes each of us feel our own way. Permaculture and travelling, especially these two, are closely linked to the artistic process, which is a reflection of their beauty and connection with our mind!
Although you can find art exhibitions throughout Festança’s site, in Chaouen area it has its own place to be analysed, where it will be expressed through presentations.
Chillin, breathe, and get into the chillout! At Chillin you are still in the world music scene, but with a smoother and more relaxed journey, at your own pace, where we will emphasize the ambience, the calmness, the harmony, sometimes with a touch of other rhythms.
Under the stars, with your feet on the ground, free yourself and stay here, sometimes to the sound of the night or sometimes to the sound of the day, where you will find World music, Ambient music and Chillout music.
Group dynamics and therapies are essential to help us put down roots! Synergia was created for this purpose, so that this sharing becomes cooperative and conscious.
In this space, where the well-being of the mind is essential, you have access to workshops, presentations, and therapeutic music.
