About Us

The actual Dojo Tai Ku An was built in 2005 with the help of the Zen Community.


It is situated about 10 km away from the ocean near the village Barão S. João (Lagos). In a remote area surrounded by a vineyard, the Dojo lies near to an oak forest .

Family
About 100m away from the Dojo
Annette and Carl live together with their daughter Emilia in a wooden house. The family also includes 2 dogs and a cat .

On the land are growing fruit trees and a vegetable garden is maintained. In the summer we fabricate our Dojo-wine.

For guests and people who want to help there are 2 caravans near the Dojo with possibility to cook.
