A Casa do Tempo

Time. Silence. Essence. 

Pleasure. Calm. The art of living with Time.

A Casa do Tempo was born from a simple desire: to live with time.
In a world racing against time, this is a place to slow down, rest, connect and foster a healthy relationship with Time. 

Well-being here is not measured; we breath it.

Every practice is an invitation to presence; well-being is naturally breathed in.
For us, this means: sleep well, move consciously, eat with intention, and discover how time is the best ally… we invite you to stop the clock and give space for Time to lead life’s game!

Here, well-being is found through returning to the essence: the pleasure of pure air, clean food, calmness and the time to simply be. With the seeds of Regenerative Tourism and the planting of our Food Forest, we aim to grow a different future

Curated Experiences with A Casa do Tempo:

Together with trusted partners, we curate and host events and retreats in a variety of themes: from how to create a food forest, to creative arts (writing, dance, paint), water immersive work, ancestral practices, nature observation, discovery of wild plants, natural cooking, fig and olive picking, as examples. Each experience is organized to slow down and reclaim balance, in intimate safe space.

Designed to host intimate groups, authentic gatherings, guided by facilitators who believe, like us, that taking care of yourself is also taking care of the world.
Come alone or together, prepared to listen to time, and let nature guide you home.

Give yourself time. The rest will happen naturally

For Partners & Collaborators

A Casa do Tempo is a space for high-quality and small-group experiences, designed to generate depth, clarity, and transformation.
From space rental to full event curation, we offer support, including catering, on-site accommodation, and regenerative experiences, like mindful walks, hands in the forest soil, and other moments of reconnection.

Keep it intimate and high quality to create depth:

We believe the intimacy of small-group dynamics unlocks the most fertile pathways for creative insight and regenerative transformation. Our role is to steward the conditions that allow your work, and your participants, to reach their full depth.

Meet the Founder 
Hello,
I’m Maria Ana, and I welcome you to A Casa do Tempo with a full heart.
This is the place where I chose to stop, and truly be. 

I lived a busy and exciting life, as a Designer, as a Lecturer, as an Activist, CEO, and later as an activator, of places, ideas, collaborations, projects and movements, living between Portugal and the UK, between cities and mountains. 

Yet, the constant pressures of a life "against time" made me conscious of the layers of conditioning I accepted into my life. On a journey around Portugal in 2016, I was introduced to the concept of Food Forests, which captured my imagination. 
It took me nine years of dreams, plans and learning, ( 2016 -  2025), to arrive here. 

Finally this is happening, here! 

I am weaving a network of local partnerships and regenerative initiatives, and building a company together with my daughter: Sociedade Equânima – Projectos Regenerativos Limitada.

We care for the land as we care for ourselves. We look to nature as a teacher, learning to live with time in all its dimensions.

Our story begins with a simple vision: to grow a food forest and regenerate land , create a home for gatherings and our rethink relationship with time. 

When you arrive, I hope you feel the value of simplicity of this project, the environment and the house.

Hope to meet you soon.

P.S. Here, your body is your clock. And time? It becomes yours again.
