Help the first phase take root in the Alentejo
Escola da Mística is a project of The Original Foundation, rooted in Portugal, near Vila Nova de Milfontes, at the southwestern edge of Europe.
It carries forward the essence of l’Hermitage du Mystique: a vision of sacred place, consciousness, body, Earth and the feminine principle. Where l’Hermitage opened the vision, Escola da Mística now seeks to give it ground in a smaller, more embodied and more natural form.
Escola is already alive as a field, a practice and a learning path. The website has been built, the first programmes are being shaped, sessions and trainings have begun, and local connections in Portugal are slowly forming.
What is now needed is support for the first grounding phase: Boots on the Ground.

Phase 1 — Boots on the Ground
Campaign goal: €16,000
This first phase allows Escola da Mística to continue landing in Portugal in a simple, steady and responsible way.
Celeste is currently present in Vila Nova de Milfontes, living simply, working from a co-working space and building the practical foundation of Escola step by step. This phase is about becoming visible, meeting people, offering sessions and trainings, developing the programmes and sensing where the first physical bedding of Escola wants to take shape.
Your contribution helps create the conditions for this work to continue.
It may support:
- simple living and temporary housing;
- local workspace;
- transportation and regional exploration;
- website, communication and visibility;
- programme development;
- materials and practical grounding;
- the preparation of a first stable physical bedding in Portugal.
This phase is not about building something large.
It is about creating enough stability for Escola da Mística to take root.

Why this matters
Escola da Mística is being created as a small-scale, carefully held place for people standing at a threshold in life.
There are moments when the old form no longer fits, while the new direction has not yet fully appeared. What may first feel like uncertainty, unrest or a turning point can also be a passage — a moment in which life asks us to pause, listen more deeply and allow a new direction to appear.
Through silence, nature, personal guidance and consciousness work, Escola da Mística offers a space where people can reconnect with the essence of who they are and, from there, find new direction from within.
The intention is not to create a large retreat centre or accommodation business. Escola grows through small groups, personal guidance, readings, At the Edge, Body-centered Awareness and Soul-centered Awareness.
Small. Clear. Intimate. True.

A contribution, not an investment
Escola da Mística is not offered as an investment opportunity for financial return.
This campaign is an invitation to contribute to the grounding of a field, a place and a living practice.
Contributors are not asked to invest in ownership, control, interest or profit. They are invited to become part of a field of trust, generosity and shared responsibility.
We keep this simple, transparent and rooted in trust.
