A Fonte
health and wellbeing centre
a place to come home to yourself
Welcome
A Fonte is located in the heart of the thriving community of Benfeita,
nestled on the slopes of the Serra do Açor mountain range in Central Portugal.
The surrounding vegetation is green and lush, full of rivers, streams and waterways.
The gardens of A Fonte feel abundant and alive year-round and the shala space is warm and inviting.
It is the perfect place to come to rest, restore and rejuvenate for optimal health and wellbeing;
to remind you of your true nature as a manifestation of one loving consciousness.
Upcoming Events
Benfeita has a beautiful tradition of women’s circles, and we wanted to reignite this sacred space - this time as a gentle afternoon gathering.
Our focus leans toward motherhood, since evenings are tricky for many of us, but all women are warmly welcome to join.
Let’s come together to connect, share, and simply be—held in presence and community.
If you would like to join and be included on the email list to make sure you hear about all these events, please contact Lotte on +351 924 048 433
