Hi, people from this universe!
Kabeção here :)
I hope you are feeling
good and happy!
It has been amazing as always to facilitate
the Pantam Residences along these years.
In 2027, we will be back in Loural
for 3 more residences there.
I hope we will have the luck to meet you and
share this journey.
OUR PROGRAM
6 days of Handpan Workshops
Bed for 6 nights
3 delicious vegetarian meals + snacks (fruits, dried fruits, juices, teas) /day
Kabeção solo concert ( & maybe some surprises )
Yishama Pantams and other Handpans available for the participants during the residence
The groups are limited to 15 people.
Getting There
There is no direct public transport to Loural Eco Village. I suggest organizing shared rides with other participants or renting a car. The nearest major station is Coimbra, which is 1h20min away by car.
For public transport options, here's a link to Rede Expressos.

30-acre mountain property with 4 springs, 1 river, and several small waterfalls, a swimming pool, a sauna, and a spacious yoga hall.
