MEN’S INTENSIVE 𓆃
10th EDITION𓆃
Gathering of Tribes𓆃
Ten editions.
Ten circles of men.
Ten times we’ve risen through the fire — together.
This is more than a gathering —
it’s a pulse that’s been beating through time,
a heartbeat echoing from the first man who dared to stand in truth.
What began as a vision — held by Alex Wirthl and Pedro Collares —
has grown into a living brotherhood.
And now, joined by Miguel Sevilhano,
we unite the tribes once more —
men from all corners of Portugal and beyond —
to reignite the flame that keeps our hearts alive.
This is a call to the fathers, the sons, the leaders, the dreamers.
To the man behind every mask.
To the one who’s tired of carrying it alone.
Here, we don’t just remember — we reclaim.
We rebuild the bridge between what was and what’s to come.
We meet our wounds with courage, our brothers with trust,
and ourselves with honesty.
Through Ritual, Men’s Work, and Community,
we celebrate a decade of transformation in motion —
not in years, but in the countless moments that shaped us.
Come as you are.
Stand as you’ve never stood before.
The circle is waiting.
The fire is lit.
And this time — it burns for all of us.

The Location
Monte da Orada, an ancient sanctuary, is a haven for individuals seeking to immerse themselves in the breathtaking beauty and tranquil serenity of nature. It invites guests to embark on personal journeys of growth and self-discovery while embracing the transformative power of their surroundings.
At its core, Monte da Orada is driven by the belief that reconnecting with nature, prioritizing health, and embracing sustainability is essential in liberating ourselves from the toxicity of modern life.
With a visionary perspective, we go beyond the traditional roles of a guesthouse, hotel, or restaurant, and instead, create a space that fosters conscious nutrition, permaculture principles, yoga, and meditation.
Situated within the heart of the Odemira woods in Alentejo, South West Portugal, near the border of the Algarve. It is within this harmonious setting surrounded by untouched natural beauty that guests can embark on their personal journeys, discovering inner growth and self-discovery in a truly enchanting environment.

The Facilitators
Alex Wirthl
I walk this path as a man committed to becoming a better version of myself each day. My journey deepened when life brought me powerful initiations — the sudden passing of my father, the burden of debt, and the end of a relationship. What first appeared as loss became an invitation for transformation.
In that moment of collapse, I turned inward. Meditation came into my life, opening a doorway to inner peace and teaching me that real change begins within. What once I sought outside in distraction and gratification, I discovered inside through presence, silence, and awareness.
Today, I share this path with men, walking alongside them as we remember that peace in ourselves creates peace in the world. It is my honor to guide and witness the unfolding of this journey with you.
Miguel Sevilhano
I’m a holistic therapist since 2005. Moved by curiosity, I developed the ability to heal others through my own healing.
Loving to observe the dynamics of nature, my approach is a combination of various techniques in a natural way, blending the ancient and spiritual principles of Ayurveda with the precision of Osteopathy, the gentleness of Cranial-Sacral Therapy, and Breathwork for releasing traumas.
My work goes from 1:1 sessions to group rituals and collective healing journeys. I also facilitate the work for the Sacred Masculine, creating spaces of healthy Brotherhood.
I am a father, a man walking this path of healing with my family and community. I want to give thanks to all my teachers and mentors, who have enriched me in my own healing as well as in the healing of those I serve.
Pedro Collares
I walk the path of a Medicine Man, a father of two, a Sundancer, and a multi-instrumentalist sound healer.
Through my life and journey, I have been gifted with the possibility to share Sound Journeys that open inner landscapes and Ancestral Ceremonies that connect us back to spirit and tradition.
During our days together, I will also offer my music and guide a Ceremony of Sacred Sauna (Sweat Lodge / Temazcal) inspired by the Lakota Tradition — an ancient ritual of purification and rebirth.
It is my joy and honor to bring these offerings into our Circle of men, so that together we may remember who we truly are.
