Herdade do Passo means “the Estate of the Step” — a threshold, a crossing point, a place where people arrive as they are and grow into who they can become.
It is land that invites transformation.

The landscape itself carries the qualities our project needs to thrive.
Its rolling hills, open plateaus, and fertile floodplains create natural classrooms, quiet spaces for reflection, and wide areas for children to explore freely.
The forest edges, water lines, and regenerative potential make it a living teacher — a place where nature guides the rhythm of daily life.

Herdade do Passo is beautiful not only because of its scenery, but because it mirrors our mission:

• It is spacious enough for families to live close and share daily life.

• It offers the diversity of landforms needed for real‑life, nature‑based education.

• It holds the calm and silence required for emotional maturity and intergenerational presence.

• It provides fertile ground for regenerative farming and meaningful work.

• It is a landscape where rituals, culture, and community can grow organically.

This land is not just a location.
It is the container, the teacher, and the foundation for the village we are building.
A place where children, adults, and elders can grow together — and where the land itself grows back into life.
