About
Ensō represents a moment in time when the mind is free to let the body create. It is a visual metaphor for everything and nothing and embodies the concept behind Ensō House: strength; the cyclical nature of existence; connection; letting go of expectations, and the beauty in imperfection.
Being present in the moment and trusting in the process are important aspects to the ensō. It is a disciplined creative practice that requires focus and application. Ensō House encourages this application, providing artists with space, time and a nurturing environment for uninterrupted work.
Nestled amidst the serene landscapes of Southern Portugal, Ensō is a haven for inspiration and creativity, where the whispers of the wind and the gentle rustle of leaves invite you to embark on a journey of artistic discovery.
Our creative retreat offers more than just space; it offers a tangible sense of peace where time slows, and the mind is free to wander, be curious and create. A creative playground, where you can explore your craft away from the daily routine, and where the inspiration of nature can spark creativity.
Our retreat is a haven for botanical inspired artists of all disciplines - a place where painters, writers, musicians, and dreamers alike can come together to share ideas, collaborate, and create. Whether you seek solitude for introspection or crave the camaraderie of like-minded souls, our doors are open to all who seek refuge in the beauty of artistic expression and the inspiration of nature.
We welcome you to Ensō House. Learn more about how to apply here.
