About Us
Where nature and sound meet again.
A therapeutic farm in Figueira da Foz, dedicated to silence, breath and the return to what truly matters.
Our story
A therapeutic farm since 2022.
Born from the wish to create a place where time slows down and the body rests. Surrounded by nature, Fonte Quente welcomes those seeking a true pause — away from the noise, close to what matters.
"Since 2022, we have been accompanying people who need to stop, breathe and slow down, creating space for them to listen to themselves, restore their balance and take care of their well-being."

Sound Therapist
João Lourenço
Who he is
João Lourenço is a Sound Healing therapist and shaman, deeply connected to nature since childhood, having grown up in the forests of central Portugal. His spiritual path with sound began in 2012 and, years later, he was consecrated as a shaman in Brazil. He works at Fonte Quente and at Casa Som de Cura, as well as in other sacred and healing spaces, leading rituals, ceremonies and healing processes through sound.
What a drum is
The shamanic drum is a sacred instrument and a living being. Its rhythm mirrors the heartbeat of the Earth and of the human heart, creating a bridge between the physical world and the spiritual planes. The drum calms the mind, grounds the body and opens the way to inner journeys, healing and a deep reconnection with nature and spirit.
The ceremony of building a drum
Building a drum is a sacred ceremony, not just manual work. Each stage — working the wood and the hide, setting the intention and honouring the elements — is guided by ritual, presence and respect. During the process, the drum is awakened and consecrated, receiving its voice and its purpose. This ceremony is a journey of transformation, where the drum and its keeper are born together.
What you need to know about the drum
The drum is a tool for healing, meditation, ceremony and prayer. Its sound creates a safe and welcoming space that helps release emotional tension, restore balance and reconnect you with your inner rhythm. Caring for your drum means honouring it, listening to it and building a relationship based on respect, intention and presence. The drum is not just played — it is listened to, trusted and lived.
