See you in the mountains

The gathering is done for 2026. The village isn’t.

2027 dates are coming. Until then, the village is moving online — and we’d love you in it.

Thank you for your love, presence and every bit of magic you brought!

What if raising kids actually felt like this?

I have never been surrounded by so many like-minded families. I felt belonging. And understood.

Family centred, not just family friendly.

We believe that by raising our kids consciously, we can change the world.

KIND Family Gathering is a few days each summer where families live as a heart-centred, multi-generational village in the Magic Mountains, where the needs of the little people and the big people are both met.

What a gathering holds

Woodland sessions and Waldorf-inspired crafts for the children. Circles, breathwork, yoga and bodywork for the grown ups. Ecstatic dance, forest walks, live music and plant-based meals for everyone, with a spacious rhythm so parents can tag in and out.

It happens at Retiro da Fraguinha near São Pedro do Sul, an hour from Porto, with camping included. The 2026 programme is kept online as a taste of what a gathering holds; 2027 will be announced to the waitlist first.

Who we are

We’re Georgiana and George, and our daughter Rise. We couldn’t find the kind of festival we actually wanted to go to as a family – so we created one.

We’re a tiny team with a big dream, learning as we go, and deeply committed to keeping the gathering intimate, authentic, and beautifully child-centred.

We can’t wait to welcome you back.

A few questions

When is the next gathering?

2027 dates and tickets are not set yet. The waitlist hears first, and the form above keeps you in the loop between gatherings.

Who is this for?

Parents doing it differently. Families breaking patterns. And people without children who are drawn to community, conscious living, and being part of something bigger.

KIND is child-first, but the village needs all of us. From babies to grandparents, everyone has a place here.

Is it a camp where I drop the kids off?

No. Parents and caregivers stay present with their children throughout. KIND Angels help where they can, but this is about shared responsibility and presence, not outsourcing care.

Can I come without children?

Yes. If you’re expecting, curious about conscious parenting, or simply love nature, children and family spaces, your presence is valued. This is about building village across generations and life stages.

Can I apply as a facilitator or space holder?

We love that so many of you want to offer your gifts to the village. We’re a tiny team and our inbox fills fast, so if you haven’t heard back, it isn’t personal.

If this is something you’d love to do, come as a family first and let us get to know you. That’s how most of our collaborations begin.
