The Wind-Down: An analog evening w live sound journey

A 3-hour experience for those who rarely give themselves permission to slow down.

At the centre of the evening is a live ambient DJ set by Virginia — architect, DJ, and curator of Lisbon Connection Week. Her set evolves slowly and subtly throughout the three hours, designed to move you from a busy, scattered mind to something quieter and more grounded. It's not something you follow. It's something that holds you.

At times the energy may gently lift - a little more vibrant, a little more playful. You might feel like stretching, loosening up. Nothing is expected. Just follow your own rhythm.

🎵 THE ANALOG LIVING ROOM
Around you, a curated selection of objects invites gentle engagement. Move between them at your own rhythm.

🎲 Social - Analog games (solo, co-op, group, couples) and conversation cards
🎨 Creative - Coloring books, drawing tools, painting, clay, weaving, stencils 📚 Focus - Books, calligraphy, writing tools and quiet prompts
🪞 Reflection - Journaling, therapy and tarot cards, music, CDs, puzzles
💤 Relaxation - A massage cushion, a marble chessboard, and a space to simply rest

🍵 FOOD & DRINKS
