A 4-day seminar dedicated to teaching the cyclical nature of the seasons, full of metaphors and meanings.
We will celebrate the New Year of Nature together on Monday 31st October
celebrating the Sahmain Wheel of the Year festival
in the enchanted magic of Casolare Chignoletti.
In these days, nature expands in the multicolored colors of autumn and will prepare itself for darkness and rest.
Apparently everything is preparing for sweet death: in the visible plane, the hours of darkness, the cold and the bare nature increase; but underneath, in the invisible plane, everything is preparing for the incubation of new life, which will manifest itself with the warmth of spring.
This is what we will try to experience through workshops in which we will use the art of Maieutics for an expanded awareness, and a theatrical workshop that will stage a story that speaks precisely of the rhythm of the seasons.
The Theater is well known ... provides for a listening and a choral feeling of the group and leads each person to contact the empathy and virtues necessary for the challenge of dressing up and staging a new role.
Maieutica is the art that allows you to explore everything that is already in us to make it manifest. The etymology of the word is "obstretrics", it is therefore a giving birth to, bringing out, what is already there.
The protagonist of this seminar is meditation with the practice of Yoganidra, a perfect metaphor of how much sleep and night contain a treasure that allows us to "go back inside" letting go of all the speed and hyperactivity that is required of us during the day.
Life is born in the dark.
Your deepest space in which your Sankalpa is contained is really dark, what is worth living for.
In this seminar we will join the rhythms of life, we will honor slowness, darkness and conscious sleep. We will bring the magic of the seasons to the stage.
We will do all this with different experiential forms:
- Pūjā and Rituals
- Meditations of Slowness
- Practice of Yoganidra
- Psychodrama
- Theater workshops
- Literary Reading

On Monday 31 October we will celebrate the Celtic New Year-Halloween, the time of the year when everything ends, but everything begins.
The end that contains the beginning, like death that contains life.
"You are the result of the love of many" ... We will bring gratitude to all our Ancestors, it is said that these days the veils between the worlds (life and death) are thinner and communication with those in invisibility is more simple.

Casolare Chignoletti is nestled in the Bergamo valleys, surrounded by woods and nothing else.
Here you can MAKE SPACE, putting aside all the distractions "that alienate you from life" to recover an authentic feeling.
What until today you hope to meet outside, you can begin to meet inside you.
The activities will start in the morning before breakfast and end with the after dinner readings.
Obviously, nothing is mandatory, stay in the present moment and participate according to your feelings.
