´What is Offline Portugal?
Offline Portugal is a Movement of awareness that invites you to
disconnect from technology and reconnect with yourself, with each other and with nature.
Offline Portugal is a Community movement with a mission to take the power back to US.
We believe we can meet the ONLINE and the OFFLINE Worlds in a center point, with BALANCE, INTEGRATION and AWARENESS for Peace, Love and Human Connection.
This way we work towards the balance between our BODY & our MIND.
ONLINE OFFLINE EXPERIENCES, art, talks, workshops from Portugal….to the world.
We are a Movement of Awareness in which we gather Knowledge, Tools for Awareness and Experiences such as Surf, Yoga, Meditation, Music and various Artistic & Self-Development Workshops for you to experience the benefits of putting yourself into “pause” mode:
the essential stage for us TO SLOW down our mind .
We believe we can integrate the Online World, by giving it specific Time & Space within the Offline Experiences.
How we do that
What is our story & MISSION
We launched Offline Portugal 5 years ago after quitting our corporate Jobs and lifestyle in London.
During this time we worked intensively in our first Project: The Offline House in Arrifana, Southwest beachside of Portugal, near Aljezur, where you could enjoy an amazing holiday whilst doing a DIGITAL DETOX.
We met more than 3000 people staying with us and we share not only a house but friends, moments of joy, dispair & laughter but most of all we share our time, Connecting together face-to-face, eye in the eye.
By Connecting with ourselves in the first place, with each Other and the Nature we are part of, The Offline House was much more than just leaving the phone at reception.
These days we live in, leaving our phones behind means leaving our comfort zone: We decide to temporary replace the digital contact with your friends/ Family, with your work & with your digital self to step into the zone of the PRESENT MOMENT.
We choose Mindfulness as a Lifestyle with the right BALANCE and INTEGRATION between the ONLINE and the OFFLINE worlds.

Meet our team
Offline Portugal Founder – Architecht
…You can find me pretty much on any event we are offering here. I was born in Lisbon, studied Jazz piano and Architecture and after 6 years in London, some traveling and 11 years of a corporate job I had a call for my Mission with Offline Portugal.
By being born naturally as an Introvert and with Genetic tendency for Anxiety & Depression, those states of emotional imbalance aggravated tremendously since I started using Internet and Technology by the age of 15.
I started my Yoga & meditation practice in 2011 through mindfulness studies after a Mental & Physical Breakdown. After a few trips & Courses to India and specially after my Experiences with Vipassana Meditation, Reiki and furthermore into the studies of Sacred Geometry & Metaphysics, my Power NOW lies from sharing my Personal JOURNEY, through Art, Yoga, Music & Technology, with everyone that feels the call to understand themselves in the first place (Body, Mind & Heart) and Life in General!
My mission is to spread awareness of who you are, why you are here on Earth and how to quiet down the mind to listen to your Heart. You can see me on the mat, running around wifi (the dog!…), playing piano, doing Art, dancing like nobody is watching, surfing or simply having a cup of tea chatting about LIFE for hours!
Wifi

I am Wi-Fi- the House God and the Soul of Offline.
With me you can have the best CONNECTION of the entire Universe. Seriously.

What they say about our experiences
Agnieska, 37
London, Teacher
I can’t thank you enough for the shift and life changing experience I’ve received.
Thank you for being there for me and creating healing space that made me feel I’m alive again. It was very difficult to leave your place for many reasons but most of all I felt like I’m finally at home with my family.
Emily, 35
London, Marketing Sales
I wanted to say THANK YOU so much to Bárbara, Christian, Evi, Fien, Ritinha for your kindness, warmth, delicious meals and for making the last week so magical. It was beautiful to share the week with you all, thank you for accepting me and for sharing your stories and wisdom.
Kasia, 38
Warsow, Artist
Sometimes it is too difficult to express gratitude.. I feel like my heart is so full – of the true connection- to the self, to my heart, to nature to all the beautiful souls I had a privilege to encounter. Immersed in wild nature, wrapped with the herbal scents I was so happy to inhale with each and every breath. Thank you Barbara for the most amazing yoga and meditation sessions ever- combined with the dazzling music experience.
