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.
