Camping on the farm is also available for guests who are looking for a more affordable stay but who want to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the farm. You can bring your own tent and equipment, or you can rent a tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping mat for a small fee.

The campground is in a beautiful area of the farm and close to many fruit trees and vegetables which you can pick yourself and eat for free. You will wake up each morning to a beautiful view of the mountains and the surrounding area. Included in the camping fee is the use of a new shared indoor bathroom. The bathroom is equipped with a hot shower.

Program

This is a 5-day journey of theory and practice in which you will learn how to access and channel the Reiki power. You will receive Reiki 1 and 2 initiations as well as certification at the end.

Over these five enriching days, you will meet together in an open space of healing, transformation and profound connection as you embark on the path of Traditional Reiki.

You will begin every day with the gentle embrace of Hatha yoga and nourish yourself with a wholesome vegetarian breakfast, prepared with love and intention to fuel your journey ahead. The afternoon will be saved for theory classes as an exploration of energy healing, guided by ancient wisdom and modern understanding.

During dinner meetings, you will take part of initiations, group practices, grounding exercises, integration, open circles of questions and reflections. You will have the chance to connect and socialize with people alike as you partake in a nourishing vegetarian dinner, fostering community and connection with like-hearted souls.

As you depart from this sacred sanctuary, may you carry with you the blessings of Reiki, the wisdom of the ancients, and the boundless potential of your own radiant soul. May your journey be filled with love, light, and infinite grace.

Reiki course: Embrace the healing power within

As you delve into the sacred art of Reiki, a gentle yet potent energy healing modality, you'll unravel the mysteries of Reiki alongside fellow seekers. Guided by experienced practitioners, you'll learn the sacred symbols, delve into energy channels, and awaken your innate ability to channel universal life force energy for healing and harmony.

Gentle yoga classes

Each morning, you'll awaken to the soothing embrace of a gentle, meditative yoga class on a beautiful deck in the middle of the forest. The yoga sessions go beyond physical postures, inviting you to explore the subtle realms of energy work, preparing your mind and body for the journey ahead.

Experience the essence of Italy's heartland

Beyond the realms of Reiki, you can take the opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Italian culture and tradition. The vibrant community offers a myriad of experiences, from Italian cooking classes, visit to the cheese-making shepherd or silent walking meditations amidst ancient olive groves.

Fire ceremonies and devotional singing

Often at the farm, Italy Farm Stay will organize fire ceremonies and devotional singing gatherings, where guests from all walks of life come together to celebrate life, love, and the transformative power of spiritual practice.

Grounding, silence and introspection

Throughout the course, there will be ample time for silence and introspection, allowing you to delve into the depths of your own inner landscape and connect with the healing energy of Reiki on a profound level.

Location

The farm is located in the small village of Pescosolido at the foot of the Abruzzo National Park, Italy. The area around the farm is one of the most beautiful places in Italy - mountains, waterfalls, hiking trails, lakes, and wildlife. With many easily accessible interesting ruins, churches, and castles, the area is surprisingly not filled with tourists like other parts of Italy.

The farm is close to the town of Sora, where you can eat at local restaurants, stroll along the lively main street, visit the numerous shops, cafes, and pubs, use the internet, or go to the open air market on Thursday mornings.

The farm itself is a large property where guests can roam around, eat fresh fruit, spend time with the animals, relax in the shade of an olive tree, or hike around the trails in the beautiful forest.
