Slow down. Create. Connect.

Gatherings near the ocean, leaving you
with something meaningful to carry.
Carmo Alento was born from my own experience of living between countries and needing a space that didn't exist yet. It's a practice for people who already have full lives, but are looking for something more present, more meaningful, and more real.

COME JOIN US

Each experience is designed as an intimate, guided moment combining conversation, presence, and creation.
Women Between Countries
A circle for creativity, conversation, and connection across cultures.

Small, intimate gatherings for women living between places, identities, and life chapters. We meet to talk, reflect, and create — without pressure, without roles. Sometimes on the beach, sometimes online.

Empowerment Workshop
A life-changing workshop to build your confidence and inner connection.

Build your confidence, self-reliance and inner connection through a deep experience in a safe, supporting environment. We meet in a big circle, talk about success, share experiences, tell our stories, meet people on a deeper level and learn things about ourselves that are beautifully surprising.

The Living Canvas
A space to create a big community piece together.

A family workshop for kids, parents, and even grandparents. Meet to spend fun time with your closest ones, creating a large painting, adding paper shapes, colors, and textures. A joyful way to connect with other families between countries and to create something bigger in a community spirit.

Family Creative Gatherings
Open, playful creative experiences for families.

Painting together, creating together, sharing a moment without structure or pressure. Simple materials. Open expression. Time spent differently.

RITA PATER

who's behind carmo alento

I create spaces where people can slow down, families can connect through creative expression, and where reconnecting with our own voice, and meeting others more openly is fun and light.

Whether in intimate gatherings or 1:1 sessions, my work brings together discovery, creativity, art, and coaching, in order to support those navigating life between countries, roles, and identities.

What matters most to me is creating a safe environment that feels pleasant, safe, natural, and meaningful. Where you and your family can express yourself freely, enjoy the process, and leave with something that stays with you beyond the moment.

Rebeka
The great thing about Rita is that on the one hand, she sees the big picture and opens your eyes to what is possible and on the other hand, she is practical and shows you very concrete ways of putting the big ideas into practice. Talking to her opened my eyes to many possibilities and solutions that I never thought about.
Marta
I worked with Rita during a difficult period in my life, and yet, after each session, I felt calmer, clearer, and more connected to what really matters to me. I came away with a better understanding of myself and a more grounded approach to creativity. I would definitely recommend working with Rita.
