Summer Solstice

With CIAOMONDO

Jun 21 – Jun 23, 2024

Bio28 invites you to a retreat in nature to mark and enjoy the summer solstice, designed by Maria together with Licia to devote yourself to a weekend of spiritual, physical and emotional well-being.

The longest day of the year is celebrated with the lighting of fires, ritual dances, outdoor activities, yoga classes, moments of introspection, and singing and hands coming together to celebrate the sun.

Don't miss this opportunity to treat yourself to a weekend dedicated to your spiritual, physical and emotional well-being, complemented by an exclusive invitation to a dance performance.

CIAOMONDO was founded in 2021 by Licia Florio and Franco Ferrari with the intention of giving people tools to help them balance mind and body through breath and movement, creating a valuable place and community.

The full experience will take place from Friday afternoon through Sunday but, for those who prefer, it is possible to arrive on Saturday morning for a short stay or participate in individual day activities.

ACTIVITIES

Somatic Yoga
In this practice we integrate elements of traditional yoga with more intuitive, less linear, more circular and instinctive movements, thus enhancing body awareness and developing a greater connection between mind and body.

Intuitive Breathwork
This practice involves using conscious breathing techniques to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Unlike structured breathing exercises, intuitive breathwork emphasizes tuning into one's own breath patterns and rhythms, allowing the body to guide the process.

Kundalini Yoga
In this practice we let ourselves be carried by breath, physical movement and mantra to connect with our deepest intuition and inner wisdom. It is a spiritual, but demystified practice, a deeper way of surrendering and disconnecting from our monkey minds.

Fire Dance
We will honor this summer solstice day with a ritual of fire and dancing, chanting and letting our bodies move to the rhythms of our voices and drums to invoke our spiritual powers.
