in the hills of Italy there’s this old monastery where we grew up, and every summer it slowly turns into something that’s hard to fully explain — not really a festival, not really a retreat, more like a space where people actually meet each other beyond all the roles they usually carry. It’s family-run, but also deeply shaped by the people who come, so it never feels like something that’s just organized for you, it feels more like stepping into something alive. We invite artists who are not only incredible at what they do, but who are also on a path themselves — people who care about what’s real, who are willing to feel, to listen, to be with what’s there instead of constantly trying to turn themselves into something better. There’s no pressure to arrive as a “better version” of yourself. It’s more about having the space to actually look at what’s there, together, without pretending. And yeah, it all happens in the middle of summer, in Italy, with good food, long nights, and that very specific kind of beauty this place carries. Tickets are limited - if something in you is already leaning towards it, you might want to follow that. ⸻ #conventofestival #retreatfestival #consciousfestival #embodiedliving #somatichealing
