Confluência | 24–27 september
We're gathering at Traditional Dream Factory (tdf) for the first edition of Confluência, a burn-style gathering exploring what becomes possible when people working towards regenerative futures come together.
Six interconnected themes:
🌿 Land Stewardship · restoring ecosystems, soils and water
🌍 Bioregional Development · connecting projects and communities at landscape scale
🫂 Relationality · movements grounded in inner work, care and repair
🌱 Post-Capitalist Organising · working beyond extraction and endless growth
🏘️ Local Integration · relationships with neighbouring communities, cultures and local knowledge
💸 Finance & Resourcing · how money and resources can nourish people, projects and ecosystems
We don't offer a fixed program. Instead, we offer a strong container with the land, the themes, and the people coming together.
Come to share what you're doing. Come with questions. Come to listen. Come with offerings and gifts. Come to be changed by what emerges. Or reach out to explore your role.

On October 20, 2026, at 2:30 p.m., the event “Contos Cantados” will take place, featuring Carlos Marques/Trimagisto, at the headquarters of Sporting Futebol Clube Abelense, in Abela, as part of the “Literary Fall” initiative and the CLDS-5G project. “Sung Tales” is a staged concert that reflects more than 15 years of research by performer Carlos Marques as a storyteller. It is a project that collects tales and nursery rhymes from the older generation to pass on to the younger generation. The sung concert is available for performances in theaters, libraries, and educational institutions. In addition to the show, “Contos Cantados” is also an audiobook—recently awarded the National Illustration Prize—that brings together the music of Carlos Marques and the illustrations of André da Loba. Free admission for senior citizens (CLDs 5G) and the general public
