Inês

Woman, ecofeminist, communicator, traveler, creator of events to work presence and to feel, guiding meditative and therapeutic dance practices, co-founder of Meditation House Porto project.

I came into this world through a very troubled birth. My parents' love made me decide to be here and live this life fully.

Little Inês has always been an artist. Full-time dancer and singer, she organized a show at every opportunity.

School brought me the power of writing. I start to discover myself in the first texts I wrote, in the first poems I read, in writers and artists, in each and every teacher who encouraged me to be creative.

The passion for storytelling led me to a degree in Communication Sciences at the University of Minho and at the Barcelona Autónoma University. The University started to guide me towards a freer way of living and allowed my inner creator to find herself in areas such as screenwriting, photography and radio.

Living in Barcelona opened the door to the world and to creativity. I met Inês the traveler passionate, who makes getting to know this planet Earth, its places and inhabitants a way of life.

Started my work life in Lisbon, where I had the joy of integrating the communication and production of so many artistic contents. In this city that feels like
home to me I’ve immersed myself in a postgraduation in Cinema at Universidade Nova de Lisboa.

At 30 I decided to move to London to fulfill a checklist dream, dedicating myself to a life of culture and arts, studying at the University of the Arts in London.

Three years later I went to Brazil with the wake up call to stop and look inside. In this precious country I began a deep dive of self-enquiry that made me return home many years later.

In the north of Portugal, I started a path of awareness that brought me here.

Today, I am living in the body of a woman who regains her wild and free self, who lives in the mountains, who seeks ancestral knowledge, who makes the kitchen her medicine laboratory, who guide experiences to create time and space for other to work presence and feeling, in retreats and immersions, through meditation, writing, dancing, sharing, silence and conscious eating.

I’m kindly and gently taking my place in this mission that is to take care of the feminine and to honouring life, as a creator of retreats and facilitator of women circles. Answering to the call to serve, helping to form safe communities of sharing and care, where we recover our connection to the body and to our millennial home: nature.
