Frequently asked questions

The Gathering will happen at The Gardens; near Viana do Castelo. The closest airport is Porto. Exact address for the gates to the venue entrance: R. da Regedoura 221, Geraz do Lima (Santa Maria), Portugal You can arrive anytime after 2pm on 4th October. It ends on 8th October, after a morning brunch. So book your exit flights later in the afternoon/eve that day; it's about a 50 mins drive to the airport. For people who are contributing an event to the Gathering, or helping to setup stuff ... they can come from 2nd October – getting two days of vibes and meals for free : )

We generally recommend getting to Porto, and then renting a car, or sharing a Bolt directly here with another attendee for ~€40 [€20 per person] - it takes about 45 minutes. Car rentals are stupidly cheap in Porto during October, so we'd highly recommend. Address for your car: R. da Regedoura 221, Geraz do Lima (Santa Maria), Portugal We'll open a Gathering whats app with attendees to help you coordinate your travels. If you'd prefer to take public transport, you can train to Viana do Castelo and then a taxi to the Garden. 70+15 minutes to the Garden --> €5+€15.

Let us know if you can't make it at least 3 weeks before. And we'll cancel your place. You'll then be able to use your payment for any other experiences at Innate.

Nope. But we'd love it if you did! Afterall, this is a co-created event. Apply as a contributor, and come a couple of days early for the pre-gathering shenanigans. A creative workshop, a movement session, dancing, a socialising idea ... you name it, we're open to it. Just email connect@innate.global if you're unsure. There's very fast wifi, and deskspaces, at the venue. Which you'll be able to use during the two days before the gathering : )

You can use your phone before the opening ceremony, and after the closing ceremony we run. From 7pm on the 4th October, until 7pm on the 7th, we'll be screens free. There is very fast wifi at the venue, and workstations too; so if you come a day or two early as a contributor, it's very easy for you to get some remote-work done.

The people who attend the experience, bring it all to life. Most of the events on this gathering are created and run by the people attending it. Giving them a chance to shine. And creating a varied and adventurous schedule(!) Trust us, our team has run these types of co-created experiences for over 6 years. They're magical. Afterall, it's all about bringing the right people together, in an inspiring setting... and then letting things flow.

First you'll buy a ticket that gives you full access to the venue & facilities. As well as 3 chef-prepped vegetarian meals per day, & coffee/tea. Then you can buy accommodation separately. Coming in your own tent or van is free. A tipi, fully setup with single mattress and sheets, is €120. Bell tents with double-mattresses are around €170. And private rooms are pricier.

Yes! Message connect@innate.global We're assembling a small crew, who are down to come a couple of days early. You'll get those days (meals included) for free, and a lower price too. There's very fast wifi, and deskspaces, at the venue. Which you'll be able to use during the two days before the gathering : )

The Garden (our venue) is alcohol, smoke, & vape free. You're free to outside the entrance gate. However, we have negotiated to have a couple of glasses of local wine each evening, per person ... to fit Innate's 'middle path' philosophy

To explore — and build momentum toward — new ways of life. We know that deep connection is not a luxury. It’s our birthright. Connection to Self — through presence, breath, movement, and care. Connection to Others — through true community, shared support, and co-creation. And connection to Nature — to the land, the cycles, the wildness, and the mystery. And yet… most of modern life has pulled us far from all of that. So the deeper question this Gathering holds is: How do we bring that connection back — while still thriving in our modern world? New ways of living are already emerging, on the fringes. You can see them in land projects, in co-living experiments, in the revival of ancient wisdoms and soulful collectives. This Gathering is a space to bring those seeds together. To explore what’s possible not just for a few days — but for the road ahead. To meet the people who are dreaming, building, and living it already. And to take one step closer… to what comes next.
