ATARAXIA

ATARAXIA 15–16 August 2026 Toca do Sadhu , Praia Fluvial Pego das Cancelas, Sertã

A weekend dedicated to music, nature, friendship and the simple pleasures of being alive.

Ataraxia is a small gathering by the river: one evening of movement, one day of listening, and time to swim, eat, rest, meet and simply be together.

Not another festival. Not a retreat. Not just a party.

A moment outside the noise.

PROGRAMME

SATURDAY, the PULSE

An evening moving from the river into the night.

Come early to swim, settle into the space, share food and enjoy the surroundings. As the afternoon unfolds, the music moves toward dancing, psychedelia and live performance.

SUNDAY, the SILENCE

A slower day dedicated to listening, rest and gentle movement.

The morning begins by the river with some soft practices of Yoga and Qi gong, followed by an afternoon of ambient music, swimming, food and conversation.

Sunday’s music program includes:

Caroline Lethô Ambient Set Mister Samadi Chill-Out Set

Sunday programme from 15:00 until 19:00.
