Eat The Soup No Phones Retreat

Remember the feeling of being truly present? Of losing yourself on a dancefloor without a screen in sight? Of making a connection with a stranger without picking up your phone to exchange Instagram handles? We do. And we’re building a place to find it again. Eat The Soup presents The No Phones Retreat: a 3-day immersive experience in the heart of Mirandela, Portugal. This is not a festival. It’s a temporary society built on connection, creativity and the radical idea that the best moments are the ones we don’t record. WHAT’S INCLUDED • 3 days and 3 nights in Mirandela • 3 days open bar alcoholic & non-alcoholic (Aromatic water, natural juices, smothies, mocktails and açaí and curated beverage moments) • Accommodation in camping or caravan - you can also upgrade to Glamping or the 'Soup Neighbourhoods' (from 50m2 to 500m2) • 3 meals per day included + 24h soup stations with late night snacks and fruits • Bus ride from Porto, Lisbon, Algarve, Vigo or Madrid • Music experiences across different environments • Workshops, talks and creative sessions • Access to river swims, trails and nature activities • Shared spaces designed for rest, conversation and connection • On-site support and care throughout the retreat HOW IT WORKS: Upon arrival, we’ll lock your smartphone in the Phone Jail. If you need to use your phone at any time you can use it there for a symbolic fee of 0,10€ per minute. When you leave the venue and return to your accommodation, you can either choose to leave it there securely or pick it up again. In its place, we’ll give you a disposable film camera and a notebook. Your job is to be present. Our job is to give you something worth being present for. Once you arrive, everything is taken care of. The only thing you are asked to bring is presence. This is not another festival. Be part of a movement. Join us. Leave your phone behind. Find what you’ve been missing. And remember: Life is a soup...and we have a fork! 🥣 Mucho amor, Eat The Soup Collective 👁👌🏼 • (if you want to volunteer, send us an email to nophonesretreat@gmail.com with the subject 'VOLUNTEER + YOUR NAME') • (for brands or sponsorships, send us an email to nophonesretreat@gmail.com with the subject 'SPONSOR + BRAND NAME')
