Selvaticum Atelier – yoga and mindfulness in Val di Cornia

A new place surrounded by nature where to regenerate body and spirit

I am convinced that a true vacation is such when it leaves indelible memories or feelings within us. That is why I always try to suggest to my guests activities, places of the heart and experiences that I believe are worth the trip. I had already told you about the visit to the Sentieri di Piume Emotional Garden organized at the La Gualda Vecchia farm, a facility that shares with me the values of authenticity, beauty, care and a return to nature as a means of regaining one’s awareness.

Today I would like to introduce you to a new opportunity, also open to guests staying at La Casa nel Castello. The possibility to participate in a Retreat organized by Podere la Gualda Vecchia itself inside a new facility located in the heart of the garden.

Selvaticum Atelier

Situated among ancient trees, it provides a serene retreat for those who wish to re-establish an authentic connection with themselves and their surroundings. Imagine practicing yoga in a traditional Mongolian yurt, immersed in the soothing sound of the wind in the leaves. In this space, nature does not just serve as a backdrop, but is an essential element of a complete experience.

The yoga practices, led by Gaia Ceccarelli , combined with the evocative atmosphere in which they take place, suggest a deep connection with the environment in a rewilding experience that will return us more in harmony with our surroundings.

The Yurt

First, however, let me tell you something about the Yurt, the beautiful structure that houses the retreats and that can also be rented for private events or other types of initiatives. The Podere Yurt was made right in Mongolia according to their tradition. As you approach it, you can enjoy the wonderful scent of pine wood. The yurt has about 50sqm with a diameter of 7.80 meters. It has two diametrically opposite doors with corresponding windows that, together with the central skylight, give great natural brightness and a view completely immersed in the forest of Gualda Vecchia.

THE NEXT SCHEDULED RETREAT

This mini retreat is dedicated to women and will allow them to relax, encouraging them to explore their inner world at the same time working on physical and mental well-being. After the welcome, yin yoga practice will follow, followed by dynamic meditation, sharing circle and finally relaxing herbal tea. The cost of this experience is 35.00 euros. The ticket includes the practice, herbal tea and a small gift. For reservations and information you can contact La Gualda Vecchia directly.

‘ Cyclicity is an essential part of every woman’s life; women are like the moon, gradually changing day by day. We cannot see the entirety of the cycle; we can only see one phase at a time’ (Miranda Gray)

I strongly believe that initiatives like this can enrich the area and the experience of travelers, reconnecting us with nature and making us rediscover the pleasure of the slow passage of time.
