FORNOS DE ALGODRES · CENTRAL PORTUGAL. EST. 2017
The world's only golf course where every hole is a living system.
NINE HOLES · NINE ENQUIRIES · ALL OF THEM CONNECTED
We've been restoring degraded land overlooking the Serra da Estrela mountains since 2017. Not by forcing it — but by understanding what's actually driving things underneath the surface. The Course of Curiosity is the next part of the story. Through play, walk through what we've learned. Become a scientist and add to the record.
FOUR EXPRESSIONS . ONE EXPERIMENT.
Everything here is
connected.
THE COURSE OF CURIOSITY
Golf that asks questions.
Nine holes. Nine living systems. Every hole asks a question nobody fully knows the answer to. Designed for schools, families, scouts and playful adults. Questions are posed, recordings are made, the log book is updated.
HEALTH CONSTELLATIONS
Your body is speaking.
It is not broken, it is responding to patterns that haven't been seen yet. Deborah works with people navigating illness and health issues. A 3-stage process online worldwide or in the wood cabin on at Quinta Das Abelhas.
STAY ON THE LAND
Time out
The mountains, the bees, the slowly returning forest, a dolmen that's been here for five thousand years, and a sky with no light pollution. Come rest, research or volunteer. You can combine the stay with constellation work, a massage or hiking the trails.
THE LAND
Ten hectares & patience
Biodiversity, reforestation, rebuilding soil and water systems, monitoring wild bees and renovating ruins. Started 2017 and still running.
Results: unexpected, ongoing, and constantly evolving.
THE IDEA BEHIND EVERYTHING
We don't know what
we don't know. That's the point.
Most of what works here — in the land, in the health work, in the beehives — emerged from paying attention rather than having a plan. Curiosity and humbleness aren't soft skills. They're the methodology.
We are nature. We just forgot.
