In this workshop, we awaken all our senses to discover the Garden in a more complete way, inspired by the poetry of Alberto Caeiro.
How do we truly get to know a place – with our eyes, ears, nose, hands, feet, and even mouth?
I think with my eyes and ears,
and with my hands and feet,
and with my nose and mouth.
To think of a flower is to see and smell it,
To eat a fruit is to know its meaning.
So when on a hot summer’s day
I feel the joy of being alive,
and lie down in the grass, eyes closed,
my whole body resting in reality,
I know the truth and I am happy.
— Alberto Caeiro, The Keeper of Sheep
In the event of adverse weather conditions, the activity will take place indoors. Confirmation will be given up to two days before the scheduled date.
