Program
Trekking, meditation, yoga, sauna, and more in the Orobie Italian Alps
The aim of this retreat is to push everyone's limit of consciousness by triggering in the body and mind a process of both purification and strengthening.
For this purpose, Luca offers this experience which includes the daily practice of yoga and meditation, roughly eight hours of trekking every day (elevation from 1000 to 2000 meters), a regenerating sauna in the hobbit cave in the evening to mend your sore legs, and of course, the opportunity to share your feelings and emotions with other mindful people like you.
For 4 days, you'll wake up early and hopefully with the sun, get ready to trek toward the next wonderful spot, eat organic vegetarian super food, practice yoga and meditation, have a deserved sauna in the evening, and share all these magical moments.
One day (usually the third one) will be kept for resting or for an easy hike to recover and get your strength back.

Location
The Orobie Regional Park sites in the Italian pre Alps, a region blessed by many sunny days every year. It's an area where you can find a huge variety of wild flowers, tons of berries, magic forests, torrents surrounded by lush mass, lakes, and high peaks: a playground that seems to have been drawn by god to show everyone what paradise looks like.
Aside from these, it's always there, free to be enjoyed. The park is easily accessible and at the same time wild and less frequently than other more known regions.
Often, the clouds decide to play with the vastness of the sky, creating breathless views and sunsets. And at night, when the moon appears to flaunt its beauty, the energy is clearly there, vibrating and beckoning views to a never-ending inner journey.
