Calling for Artists to join our Non-Profit Art and Yoga Residency on the Coast of Portugal.

Welcome to Lovely People Place, a unique residency for artists and yogis located in Figueira da Foz, Portugal.

A focused residency designed for those who want to deepen their practice and live with intention, this is a space for people who are serious about yoga, creative work, or both, offering the time, structure, and environment to fully immerse yourself without distraction; rather than a holiday, it is a shared experience of discipline, focus, and growth designed to support meaningful progress.

 

Pricing & Application

Due to the limited number of spaces, applications are reviewed carefully to ensure the retreat is the right fit for genuinely self-motivated individuals.
 

Monthly cost: €550

- €50 for house expenses.

- €500 charitable donation supporting one of our causes.
 

Food costs are shared separately and vary by group. As an example, with 10 people contributing €10 per day, there is more than enough for simple daily vegetarian meals. Any personal extras are at your own expense.

Evening meals are shared, and with a group of 10 people, you would typically cook only twice per month. On weekends, meals are your own responsibility, allowing you complete flexibility.
 

Art materials and personal project expenses are not included. Each participant will have a dedicated art space that can be arranged according to their needs, as well as a personal yoga space for individual.

Please apply through our website https://www.lovelypeopleplace.org/ or contact us directly via mail.
