Activities
The LAB is a private structure that offers various theorico-practical activities that are of interest for inner research (but not only), ranging from postural yoga to breathing and energy techniques, from meditation to conscious movement, from critico-constructive dialogue to the art of observation, from mental hygiene to the exploration of the limits of the human machine.
These different aspects, which the LAB’s attendees will be able to experience, both separately or integrated in a same moment of practice, express synergy between them, i.e., they are able to “work together,” producing results usually not obtainable individually.
For example, working with yoga asanas strengthens the physico-energetic structure, improving the quality of the meditative posture and favoring the harmonization of different possible energy imbalances. This facilitates the conscious work on subtle flows, which in turn creates a condition capable of promoting greater body relaxation, therefore also the ability to remain longer, and more stably, in the meditative condition.
The work with conscious movement, like dance, promotes joint release, frees congested energies, helping to tune and harmonize the different spheres of being, including the emotional one.
Over time, these and numerous other synergies facilitate the construction of a more stable psychophysical center and the acquisition of a greater level of self-awareness. This possibility is in turn enhanced by the work of self-investigation, the practice of observation and the responsible exploration of the frontier between real and illusory limits.
Some activities are offered on a regular basis, to the extent that they receive sufficient subscriptions, others extemporaneously (to be always informed about the proposed activities, you can subscribe to the mailing-list). Some activities take place in groups, others as part of individual meetings.
Weekly
In a unitary perspective of the ancient science of Yoga, freed from its religious and cultural aspects, we will move our bodies, dense and subtle, to inhabit them more fully, in order to better inhabit the present moment and turn our gaze towards a brighter future [with Donatella].
When promoted consciously and accompanied by our breath, free dance becomes dynamic meditation and allows us to witness the possibility of flowing directly from our Being, without mental interference [with Massimiliano, Manuela and Elisita].
We all have the ability to touch the stillness and peace within. The breath is a tool available to all of us, which helps us return to ourselves and to the present moment to live better [with Samantha].
Courses
These 12 weekly meetings will serve to explore what writing can do for us. They will also be an opportunity to reflect on our relationship with the written word and a journey to familiarize ourselves with a form of writing that is short and dense, expressing the inexpressible and opening up passages through which insights pass, informing and transforming us [with Francesca V. S.].
A series of 12 weekly meetings in which we explore certain elements of our natal chart on different levels: we reflect on their possible meanings and the form they take in our lives, we go on imaginary journeys, we use automatic writing to contact them within ourselves, and we use energy practices to perceive them in our bodies [with Francesca V. S.].
Workshops
Yogic immersion and experiential workshop across different disciplines to reconnect with our “inner primal nature,” evoked by the soundscapes of ancestral environments and ecosystems now facing extinction. [with Donatella]
Sensitive Dance workshops offer a journey of listening and exploration, in which the body becomes a living place of knowledge. Through the experience of movement, touch, and gaze, individuals are invited to reconnect with their deepest needs and sense of relationship, recognizing in the encounter with others a way of opening up to the world [with Cristina M.].
Events
An evening presentation of the book Quantum Quest, which will become an opportunity for open dialogue with the audience on the mystery of quantum physics and how research into the foundations of physical theories really happens [with Massimiliano].
Individual
A silent massage practice, where the possibility of a deep dialogue with the body is suggested by the contact promoted by Patrizia's hands. By turning off all verbal communication, this practice calms the mind and opens up the possibility of a more direct communication with our physico-corporeal manifestation [with Patrizia]
The vibrational sound massage stimulates the body's self-healing processes: the rebalancing power of the Tibetan bowls works deeply on body, mind, and spirit [with Cristina G.].
In a one-on-one meeting of conscious dance, you will be guided to trust your body and listen to your own narrative through spontaneous movement, in a welcoming and protected environment, respecting your own rhythms and needs [with Manuela]
In an individual Integral Yoga session, you are accompanied in a personalized way in the study and experimentation of Yoga postures, of conscious breathing techniques, and in the exploration of complete and deep relaxation techniques [with Donatella].
Through The Journey you get to expand your awareness and reconnect yourself with the infinite intelligence which is inside everyone, so that you can let go whatever holds you back from living an authentic and full life. Conceived by Brandon Bays, it has been experienced by thousands of people around the world who could heal from various emotional or physical issues [with Manuela]
To broaden, deepen and refine one’s understanding of reality, through the instrument of dialogue, which becomes the bearer of a word as clear as possible and firmly anchored to reality, capable of producing effective change [with Massimiliano].
On demand
Conscious dance can be understood as a path that weaves an intuitive thread, guiding us from one experience to another, from one observation to the next. By meeting the dancer within, we discover how movement can carry us beyond the “me” with which we identify each day [with Massimiliano].
In an all-female circle, we come together to practice listening to our personal stories. Through dialogue, we rediscover the power of words, thanks in part to small, often playful themed exercises proposed according to the needs of the moment [with Patrizia].
Each meeting is divided into two parts: a period of complete silence, in which each person explores inner stillness, and a period of speech, in which silent presence can be expressed clearly and consciously. Silence and speech intertwine, creating a space for authentic listening and mutual transformation [Tuesday at 7:00 p.m., with Massimiliano].
