The place & the month

What you're stepping into.

Ten beds in a villa in the Umbrian countryside, with long views over the hills, a pool for the hot afternoons, and dedicated spaces for practice and for work.

The days take their shape from the rhythm we hold in common: movement and practice in the morning, participant-led sessions and project collaborations through the day, shared meals and circles in the evening. What fills that shape is up to the ten people in the room.

The rhythm of a day

Structure that holds. Space that opens.

Each morning

Daily practice

Movement, meditation, and somatic work to begin the day grounded. Intentional practice is the spine that makes everything else possible.

Through the day

Participant-led sessions

Workshops, teachings, and experiments offered by the people in the room. Whatever your craft, you're invited to lead it.

In the work

Project collaborations

Small teams form around shared curiosity and build something real together, then present it back to the whole group.

In the evening

Circles & celebration

Shared meals, performance, and reflection. Time to tend the field between us and to celebrate what the day made together.
