Verãozão is a collective summer residence taking place at Fazenda São João, surrounded by the Atlantic Forest, ecological coffee production and waterfalls in Brazil. The residence lasts two weeks and is built around shared stays, conversations and artistic actions, where food and community around the table are central. Participants stay divided between the main house "Sede" (from 1853) or the converted stable building "Casa Figueira", and have access to studios, audio recording equipment, garden and shared outdoor areas.

The program is divided into two seven-day cycles: the first led by singer/composer Neus Borrell Mateu with focus on body, breath, movement and voice, and the second led by therapists Renê Caffaro and Monaliza Marchi with tantric therapy and meditation. A closing open viewing is arranged for local audiences where participants' projects and processes are presented, and activities are further communicated via the residence's website and social media.

The residence is an independent, artist-run non-profit project financed through participant fees ("solidarity fee" and "regular fee"), differentiated according to a Global North/South principle to make participation more accessible for people with lower purchasing power. There are a limited number of full and partial scholarships, but these are reserved for applicants residing in Brazil. Applicants can receive invitation letters to apply for external funding for their own participation.
