The protagonist will be Nature, we will experience it and live it through the different tools that the various disciplines will offer us.
The practices of yoga, meditation and conscious movement have always invited human beings to get in touch with their deep self. They are tools for turning attention inwards, beyond the noise and excessive daily vortices. They are a guide to contact the quiet space of your heart in which to immerse yourself, recognize yourself and find yourself.

During these three days everything has been designed to allow an experience that is as respectful of the environment as possible: from vegetarian/vegan meals to the places themselves that will host the events.

Where: Monte Amiata

Why: We offer you an exploratory experience that will give you new energy and precious time to relax and discover new tools for living well. Nature already contains all the answers we need, and the disciplines we will practice will help us to experience these places deeply to feel and find ourselves an integral part of the nature that surrounds us.

Mount Amiata

An ancient volcano located in the south of Tuscany, Mount Amiata was considered a sacred mountain by the Etruscans who populated these lands.
We can still perceive this sacredness today, crossing the chestnut woods or the large beech forest, where the vegetation is so permeating that it gives us for a moment the pleasant sensation of losing ourselves.
The beech forest of Monte Amiata was recently certified for new, environmentally friendly tourist practices such as Forest Bathing.
In this sense, the forest is conceived not only as a place to visit, but as a true place of care and well-being for body and mind.

Meeting places

Villa Sforzesca Castell’Azzara

Comune di Castellazzare

Surrounded by endless countryside, flanked by the Via Francigena, the Villa Sforzesca was commissioned by Cardinal Alessandro Sforza in 1576. The villa was chosen as a summer residence by the Cardinal and was also used as an operational base during operations to repress brigandage during Gregory’s pontificate XIII.
Renovated for the Jubilee of 2000, it currently hosts cultural events.

Merigar, Dzogchen Community

Comune di Arcidosso

Merigar, meaning “the residence of the Mountain of Fire,” was founded in 1981 under the teachings of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu.
The International Dzogchen Community is a secular community of planetary dimensions based on the principles of awareness and respect.

Born spontaneously around Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, inspirer and Master, it is open to all.
The various centers of the Community are considered places to approach, share and apply the practice of awareness, places where it is possible to collaborate with others in a perspective of common spiritual enrichment, friendship and harmony.

Prato delle Macinaie, Vetta Amiata

Comune di Castel del Piano

The largest beech forest in Europe with tens of kilometers of paths for trekking on foot and for mountain bike rides.

Pratiche

IN-CON-TRA-RSI

through conscious movement we set our connection center.

SATI Dynamic (Sensory Awareness Training & Inspiration) is an innovative system of methods and practices based on sequences of physical movements, exercises on expression of emotions, and input to develop one’s spirituality.

YIN YOGA

a simple, slow-paced practice in which positions are held passively for a few minutes.

It is a contemplative practice that cultivates interoception and prepares the body and mind for deep states of meditation.
Nourishing on Nature, Yin practice, wrapped in the whisper of the forest, transforms into a profound meditative journey where the positions become nourishment for the soul, projecting a delicate splendor on one’s introspective path.

NADA YOGA

yoga of vibrations and sound.

Nāda Yoga allows you to embark on an ever-deeper journey of self-discovery to strengthen the body, calm the emotions, and focus the mind. The teachings follow shared traditional principles and practices in an understandable and accessible way. With the power of the mantra Oṃ, we are going to establish a bridge between the internal nature and the external nature.

SOUND BATH

Sound in the wonders of Nature: the Woods

In this Sound Journey we will meet in the Woods, an environment that has always been the ideal setting for an initiatory experience. Through a short meditation and the use of ancestral instruments such as gongs, Tibetan bells, native flutes, huacas, tubular bells, quartz crystal bells, monochords and sounds of nature we will travel into the physiognomy of the forest, in its metamorphic, unconscious and profound side .

HATHA YOGA

Śrī and Pūrṇatva – Two qualities of the Absolute that we can experience in the forest: beauty and fullness.

We are nature, we are forest.
The yoga practice of āsana, prāṇāyāma and meditation will accompany us towards the full perception of our roots and the beauty of finding ourselves interconnected exactly like the beech trees that will frame us. The breath will help us move awareness between relative and absolute, between manifestation and consciousness.

INTERCONNECTION MEDITATION

body, breath, forest

In a guided meditation, we will conclude the three days with presence, awareness, visualization and intention.

To strengthen the realization of our interconnectedness.

My heart says “YES”…
