About Mata House
Mata House aims to serve the community of Seekers, people who wish to understand themselves, and to help direct the world towards a better future. It wishes to establish a community around it, in its home village of Mata, and in the surrounding area. Mata House is located in central Portugal, north of Torres Novas, in the green Portuguese countryside.
Mata House is space where we can explore deep questions – Who am I? How can I live in harmony with others? How can I communicate better? What do I need to heal and develop? What helps us grow? What is the right environment for growth?
We invite those who wish to experience living and working with others, for a self-learning growing experience
The founder
The founder, Nimrod Tom Oren, is a trained psychotherapist, instructor, meditator, and dance teacher. He has been facilitating development processes for 20+ years. His spiritual ‘grounding’ is the 4th way of Gurdjieff’s and Sufism, which he teaches in Portugal and around the world. Despite these ‘titles’, he doesn’t feel like he knows anything. He’s always learning. He tries to provide a free and open space for those around him. Mata House is the manifestation of his dream for a different human society, full of connection, joy and compassion.
