Who we are

Two, one Purpose, from Sagres to the World!

Magic Macrobiótica was born out of a real change of life — and that is what we share with the people who come to us.

Magic Macrobiótica

Four lives, so far.

Our first life was in Lisbon, working and living the way almost everyone works and lives.

The second began when we left our jobs in search of something that would give us more joy and meaning in Life. In 2005 came Magic Moments, with surf photography and nature activities — Nuno's passion — and in 2009 the blog, which shared the art, health and well-being workshops that were Carla's great motivation. A Life full of creativity! A wandering between Sagres, the Alentejo and Lisbon.

The third was in 2016: we put down roots in Sagres!

We devoted ourselves more to our guests, and to caring for the space and the energy of our holiday rental, through creative and sustainable practices of upcycling and upskilling. We listen to people's motivations and share a holistic view of life, of connection with Nature and of self-overcoming! We both share experiences from our journeys through life. Every now and then, guests step out of their comfort zone to discover new activities in the Lands of the Infante, and in us we feel new journeys being sown.

The fourth brings all these lives together: after the macrobiotics course, we revived the blog and began to shape the activities we do today — walks, chi kung, natural food, creativity workshops, all linked to the Cycles of Nature. The name says what we are: macrobiotics, yes, but also lived as a flowing current, like the open air; and with a great deal of study and practice, giving meaning to believing in the magic that mixes into everything.

From the Greek Makro — Great, Long, Full — and Bios — Life (macrobiotics): The Magic of a Great Life!

What our participants say

«I loved the workshop! I took part in the «Yin and Yang of the Seasons» workshop and loved it: it was really good to take things apart and understand a little better how I can align my year and my activities with the different seasons and their transformations. Thank you so much!»
