Wheelhouse – Slow-Working und Wellness-Club bei Santos, Lissabon

Such a beautiful and calming space. As a longtime follower of Chris, I was hoping to meet him during my visit, but Wheelhouse itself felt like such a genuine reflection of him. Tiago and the entire staff made our visit incredibly special. Everyone was kind, warm, and welcoming, and we loved the 4PM Reset session. The space and experience were everything I expected and more. Can’t wait to return!

Best Coworking in Lisbon!

I came to Wheelhouse because of what Chris Corsini has built his reputation around: healing, safety, openness, connection and creating a space where people can actually let their guard down. Unfortunately, one young male staff member managed to create almost the exact opposite atmosphere. He was astonishingly rude. Not accidentally abrupt, not having an off moment — loudly, repeatedly and unnecessarily unkind. There was a sneering, hostile quality to the way he interacted with people that was so pronounced that even his male coworker appeared visibly stressed by his behaviour. This wasn’t one unfortunate interaction. He seemed to bring an abrasive, contemptuous energy into the space itself. And Chris should seriously consider who is actually walking through those doors. People travel from all over the world to come to Wheelhouse. We did. People plan trips, make the journey to Lisbon, spend substantial amounts of money and arrive trusting the reputation Wheelhouse has built around healing, openness and emotional safety. Imagine travelling internationally for that experience and being greeted with hostility and contempt. That was our welcome. From what I observed, the overwhelming majority of the people coming through those doors and financially supporting this space are women. Women do not need to travel across the world and pay a premium to enter a space marketed around healing only to be made to feel small, uncomfortable, unwelcome or anxious by a young man working there. And to be clear, I am not suggesting his behaviour was exclusively directed at women. It wasn’t. Watching him speak rudely to his own male coworker made the situation even more uncomfortable. The problem was the atmosphere he created around him — one of tension rather than warmth, and anxiety rather than safety. Whatever his personal issues, personality or reasons for behaving that way may be, they should not become the emotional burden of the people paying to be there. The irony would almost be funny if it weren’t so unpleasant: you cannot sell healing while allowing someone at the front line of that experience to make people feel anxious, belittled and unwelcome. Chris, if you read your reviews, I genuinely hope you pay attention to this one. What you are trying to create deserves better stewardship. One spectacularly unpleasant staff member can poison the atmosphere of an entire room, and this one did. People coming to Wheelhouse should not have to brace themselves for somebody’s attitude before they can access the very space they’re being told is safe enough to soften in. Especially when some of those people have crossed borders and travelled thousands of kilometres specifically to be there. The space itself has enormous potential. The experience this employee created was the antithesis of everything Wheelhouse claims to represent. If your business is built around making people feel safe enough to soften, the people representing it need to understand that kindness isn’t an optional extra. It’s part of what you’re selling. Healing requires kindness. At the absolute bare minimum, so does hospitality.

Beautiful space.

A wonderful experience to repeat, a beautiful, welcoming, comfortable space, purified with good energy and a good atmosphere. They have a schedule with activities that are frequently running, which you can book, pay for, and participate in. Today's activity was yin yoga and sound baths, being present with the body, movements, sensations, the soul, the whole being, and letting yourself be carried away by the sound of various instruments and even chanting that uplift the soul and relax us completely! You can enjoy astrology and cartomancy consultations with Chris, release and disintegration in the beautiful little room with Himalayan salt cleansing without technology, and enjoy activities in the cozy therapy room with crystals underneath to promote everyone's well-being 🙏✨️💖 Beautiful moment! 🧚‍♀️🔮🧿🪬🖼 Enjoy a drink, art, good taste and good conversations with whomever you meet, the magic happens! 😉✨️🌠🌌
