As autumn begins, New Bowing House again opens its doors to the community for the 4th edition of the Open Days to the Planet. Two days of sharing and discovery, where music, cinema, food, words and gestures converge to celebrate diversity and imagine possible futures.

Through cooking workshops, small craft sessions, books, concerts, Bollywood cinema, tai chi and vocal journey, we shape a meeting place for generations and cultures — infused with simplicity, joy and mutual curiosity. An open invitation to everyone: residents, visitors, friends or the simply curious. There is always room for one more.

New Bowing – Centre for Planetary Relations is a space of shelter, creation and encounter, open to all, born from the “New Bowing” project. Based in Odemira, in the former Student Centre, it hosts artistic activities that foster dialogue between cultures and inspire new ways of living together.

Workshop
Intergrace - Tai chi & Vocal Journey
with Ariel and Leon Saponar

A two-hour immersive experience weaving together the gentle, grounding movements of Tai Chi with the liberating practice of the “Vocal Journey”, a vocal exploration that combines discovery with inner journeying.

The session begins with breathing and the fluid forms of Tai Chi, awakening presence, balance and a connection to inner stillness. From there, the voice unfolds, exploring sound, vibration and resonance as pathways of expression and release.

Body and voice become instruments of awareness, inviting harmony, freedom and joy. No prior experience is needed - only the willingness to move, breathe and sound.

A workshop open to all ages, inviting focus, attention to detail and the joy of creating with one’s hands.

BUILDING DREAM CITIES

Colourful books become building blocks to imagine temples, skyscrapers, streets and markets. A workshop inspired by Italo Calvino's "Invisible Cities", where participants can dream up and construct their own utopian city.

MIRABOLANTE BOOKSHOP

The Mirabolante Bookshop comes to New Bowing House for an afternoon, bringing books, novelties and unexpected encounters. An invitation to discover stories and authors, leaf through pages and rediscover the pleasure of reading.

with Vasco Agostinho, Kabir Gana, Joaquim Silva, Hugo Nóbrega, Luis Galvao, Luis Graça, Louis, Liv, Carlos Correia, Serena

Music and conviviality fill the courtyard of New Bowing House: outdoor tables and chairs, young people from the Summer Bowing serving at the bar and, beneath the pine tree, the Combo of the Association Jazz e Não Só brings to life the magic of jazz. Moving through themes of different moods and styles, the improvisation, rhythm and passion of Odemira’s musicians - children and adults alike - converge in harmony, open to all who wish to share the moment.
05:00 pm – 07:00 pm
Bollywood Cinema
Invicto
A film by Satyajit Ray

“O Invicto”, Satyajit Ray’s second film and winner of the Golden Lion in Venice, is the central chapter of the celebrated “Triologia de Apu”, which follows the protagonist from childhood to adulthood.

In this episode, Apu’s life unfolds between Benares, his native village, and Calcutta, in a journey marked by separation from his mother and a thirst for knowledge.

With music by Ravi Shankar, this is Ray’s great film about the maternal figure, also bringing forth the key themes of his work: the passage from rural life to the city, growth, and learning.
