KIND Matters grew from a family’s decision to bring a long-held vision to life, first launching as a festival with just six weeks to prepare. Jayna, George and Rise shape its gatherings around transformational work, community, music, shared food and ceremony. Jayna brings 12 years of experience leading retreats, live events and one-to-one sessions; George contributes a background in technology and entrepreneurship, including building an AI company. Their work has reached audiences of thousands, giving the project an event-making sensibility alongside its personal-growth focus. At its Corgo da Casca address, visitors will find a restaurant and free parking, with vegan and vegetarian options listed. The specific format and schedule can vary between gatherings, so check with the hosts about upcoming dates and what each one includes.
