Breathe Compass — The Breathe Experience
The Breathe Experience

Breathe Compass

Your serene, practical guide to navigating The Breathe Experience with ease, presence, and joy.

What to Bring

Pack light, pack wisely. Cool nights, warm days — think layers, hydration, and simple comforts.

Essentials: warm layers, tent/sleep kit, refillable bottle, headlamp, eco-friendly hygiene kit, comfy footwear, small first-aid.

What Not To Do

We protect the land, our neighbors, and each other. Your care keeps the circle strong.

No pets, no trespass, no open flames/gas canisters, no vehicles inside grounds, use compost toilets, be fire-smart, be mindful.

Things To Do

Smile often, bring your magic, and play. The Experience is a co-creation.

Dance, collaborate, explore the Oasis and Sanctuary, try something new. Joy is the compass.

Getting Here

Aldeia de João Pires, Penamacor, Portugal — arrive gently, travel mindfully.

By car (carpool recommended), train/bus via Castelo Branco, shuttle options, bicycles welcome. International: LIS/OPO → rail/road.

Map & Zones

Each zone holds a different rhythm — from Amphitheatre energy to Sanctuary stillness.

Tip: Plan a gentle arc through the day — movement → nourishment → rest → celebration.

Health & Wellness

Hydrate, shade, pause. We have first-aid stations and wellness spaces onsite.

Deep breaths, long exhales. Mix high-energy moments with calm practices.

Food, Drinks & Sustainability

Nourishment with purpose — local, thoughtful, low-waste.

Annapurna Avenue, Apothecary Café, Breathe Bar, Ital Hive, Oasis Café — bring reusables and refill often.

Workshops & Activities

Learn, play, create — from circus skills to cacao ceremonies and collaborative art.

Follow curiosity. Leave time for the unexpected.

Community Guidelines

Consent, kindness, and inclusion — the foundations of our culture.

Be a good neighbor, hold strong boundaries, and amplify care.

Packing Extras

Small touches elevate the journey — journals, lights, instruments, reusables.

Pack light, leave lighter. Take everything home.

Staying Connected

Create memories first, share them second. Use devices with intention.

Choose a group rendezvous point, respect digital-free zones, and savor presence.

Family & Kids

Young Breathers spaces welcome playful hearts and gentle curiosity.

Face-painting, crafts, gentle shows, and family amenities close by.

Leave No Trace

We are guests of the land. Let gratitude be visible in our footsteps.

Pack it in, pack it out. Compost, recycle, respect paths and wildlife.

After the Festival

Integration is the art — carry the feeling into daily life.

Reflect, reconnect, continue the dance. The journey goes on.
