Kura Alma — Queer Sanctuary

Queer Sanctuary

Northern Portugal

Welcome to Kura Alma! Home for the weird, odd & peculiar human beings.

Mãos à Obra! Build with Us! - Summer 2025

We invite you to come shape the paths, the walls and the ground that will feed us!

On August 1st, we bring the Queer Sanctuary into the physical realm, we call in all the hands to help shape this space.

An exciting chapter that needs all the help that can get. We're beginning to build the first pieces of infrastructure that will make it possible to host 1–3 people year-round.
We're calling on friends, builders, and community-minded folks to help us take this next step together. Whether you have building experience or just a desire to contribute, your energy is welcome!

What “Queer” Means to Us

“Queer not as being about who you’re having sex with (that can be a dimension of it); but queer as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and has to invent, create and find a place to speak and to thrive to live”
— bell hooks

The Queer Sanctuary

We're crafting a space where individuals access resources that elevate quality of life and foster personal and collective growth, all within a nurturing natural environment.

Kura — to heal
