During this seminar, we will explore:
Meditation, to foster inner silence and presence.
Qi Gong, to cultivate balance between mind, body, and vital energy.
Exploring natural space and time, to allow contact with one another.
Conscious fasting, to deepen connection with your body.
Monica Farinella will guide participants in the use of Dream Drawing, and

We will teach you Chi Lel Qi Gong and practice it together.
Together, we will experience the Dance of the Heart and moving meditation.
We will create a healing circle and use the Shamanic drum to facilitate the experience.
We will form dyads to work on our true nature, allowing space for moments of profound experience.
And much more that will emerge from the needs of the group.

Abundance 5Rhythms® Practice with Joanna Hussakowska
About the course
I call abundance a sense of fulfilment that flows from within us and is strongly connected to the flow of life energy.
When it moves fairly freely, we are able to see all the treasures we have been blessed with and possess/health, relationships, friendships, memories.../.
If this is not the case, putting the body in motion, allows us to unblock it and feel in harmony with ourselves and the universe.
Isn't the universe a cup of abundance ????
The movement offered by the 5Rhythms® practice - dancing Wave after Wave, discovering the qualities of the rhythms that create it: Flowing Staccato Chaos Lyrical Stillness ®, encourages a shift in perspective from external values to a sense of fulfilment that comes from within.
And that's what we'll be focusing on- trusting the process of life is a key part of experiencing abundance.
The title of the workshop is always an opportunity to raise questions about the topic, and what I'm writing is not a thesis, just a call out.
So, if any of this chimes to you, I cordially invite you to Tuscany.
We will be practicing the 5Rhythms® alone, with a partner and in a group, in the beautiful little church that belongs to Podere Fiorli and outside dancing with the wind, in the woods and in the meadow, because the beauty and abundance of our planet, can be a great inspiration to change the perspective of seeing abundance in our lives.

The Circle of Law is a unique teaching that resonates deeply with those who seek to promote peaceful and harmonious living within a community. This system is based on eight distinct positions, each representing a different aspect of life: from caretakers of children and keepers of the law to workers, chiefs who manage life’s structure, medicine people, shamans, and mediators. When discussing new laws for the community, each position offers its unique perspective, resulting in a comprehensive understanding of the truth, lies, and overall impact on the community.

Tarots con Marianne Costa
Il Tarocco, un maestro da Vivere
Tarocchi e albero genealogico: la forza delle allegorie al servizio del lignaggio.
I tarocchi, frutto della saggezza rinascimentale e dell'esoterismo cristiano, rappresentano un modello del posto dell'uomo nell'universo. Questo modello descrive sia le condizioni concrete dell'esistenza, che la salute psichica (o forza d'animo) e l'ordine del cosmo.
Nell'epoca attuale in cui lo studio transgenerazionale è alla moda, dobbiamo interrogarci sulla nozione di stirpe o lignaggio, senza la quale non c’e nessuna esistenza possibile.
I tarocchi ci offrono sia la struttura che ci permette di pensare l'albero genealogico in tutti i suoi aspetti (lavoro individuale sui nostri quattro "centri", riflessione sull'educazione, la coppia e la famiglia, nozione di processi fluidi o stagnanti, ecc) e, con gli arcani maggiori, uno specchio allegorico che ci porta dalla situazione di eredi impotenti a quella di individui sovrani e autonomi, il cui destino individuale ridefinisce il senso dell'intera stirpe.
Il corso sarà tenuto in Italiano.
L’Insegnante
Marianne Costa ha conseguito un master in Letteratura comparata ed è diventata un'esperta di fama mondiale della storia, della simbologia e della pratica dei Tarocchi. Insieme ad Alejandro Jodorowsky è autrice del best seller The Way of Tarot (Albin Michel, 2004 per l'originale in francese, Inner Traditions, 2006 per l'edizione statunitense). Ha pubblicato diversi libri tradotti in varie lingue e, più recentemente, un altro saggio sulla storia, il simbolismo e l'iconografia dei Tarocchi "Le Tarot pas à pas" (già disponibile in francese, spagnolo e italiano). La sua carriera polifacetica comprende l'attività di attrice e cantante professionista, la scrittura e la traduzione di poesie, romanzi e saggi, e l'insegnamento a gruppi di tutto il mondo dei Tarocchi e di quelle che oggi chiama "finzioni di guarigione", una tecnica originale che unisce e supera terapia, autosviluppo ed espressione artistica. La sua base è a Parigi e nell'ultimo decennio è stata un'appassionata ballerina e cantante di tango.
