Southern Portugal // Lugar Secreto

Let's do it again

Five days of co-created burn in a cork forest on a mountain, by a lake, an hour from Faro. Not a festival. Not a cult. Not a spectator sport.

The place

A lake shrouded in mist. A secret island, a bright pink rocket ship.

Cork trees that have stood here far longer than any of us.

Landowners who have joined the burner community.

Co-creation

Nothing happens here unless we make it.

There is no crew who arrive early and leave late so you do not have to. There is only us: about 100 people who cook, build, sweep and look after one another. Everyone signs up for three shifts. Most people end up doing more, because it turns out: it's hella fun.

Not for profit. Never has been. Every euro goes into land, food and safety.

Effigy & temple

We burn the effigy to open ReBurn. We build the temple all week and burn it in silence to close it.

Bring something you would rather not carry home. There is a decent chance you will leave lighter than you arrived, and a small chance you will cry in front of strangers. Both are fine.
