A day dedicated to the well-being of body and mind at the Locanda La Tano di Grich in San Michele di Prazzo, with musicologist Marianna Secondo and mindfulness expert Daniela Rubini.

The experience includes:

09:30 – 10:00 | The Landing: Welcome and Opening Circle

Welcome: Mountain herbal tea upon arrival.

Presentation: Brief introduction to the theme “The Senses of Life.” Explanation of how modern fatigue is often a “numbing” of the senses due to excessive noise (digital and mental).

10:00 – 11:30 | Deep Listening: Music Therapy and Deep Listening

Session with the music therapist: Use of sound to lower brain frequencies.

Deep Listening: Active listening exercises. We not only listen to the music, but learn to listen to how the body reacts to sound.

Why here: This is the “cleansing” phase. Sound acts as an internal massage that releases the blocks of mental fatigue.

11:30 – 12:30 | The Transition: The Raisin Meditation

The Practice: Before sitting down at the table, we prepare ourselves for food. A single raisin is distributed to each person.

Exploration: We look at it as if we were aliens who have never seen food. We smell it, feel it between our fingers, listen to it near our ear as we gently squeeze it.

Objective: Reactivate the taste buds and saliva production, bringing the mind into the “here and now.”

12:30 – 14:00 | Nourishment: “5 Senses” Themed Lunch

The First Course in Silence: A powerful experience. Eating without speaking allows us to perceive textures and flavors we usually ignore.

The rest of the lunch: Light conversation, while maintaining attention on the sensory quality of what the farmhouse offers (zero-kilometer products, scents of the earth).

14:00 – 15:00 | The Warrior’s Rest: Silent Integration

Free Time: One hour of rest. Participants can lie in the sun, on a lawn, or in a relaxation area.

Focus: It is essential not to overload immediately after eating. The body must process the energy from the food and the emotions of the morning.

15:00 – 16:30 | The Contact: Mindfulness Walking Meditation

The Practice: Very slow walk around the farmhouse.

The Sense: With each step we feel the contact of the foot with the ground (Touch). We observe the colors of the woods (Sight). We smell the afternoon air (Smell).

Conclusion: A small closing circle to share a word or an emotion before departure.
