Some informations about the location. The villa that hosts us is a really unique medieval place surrounded by ancient trees and huge private green space!!
The area is cool and fresh located on the side of Cimini mountain at Capranica-Sutri area (North of Rome) at 400m from the level of the sea and very close to the lake of Vico (510m from the level of the sea).

A SHORT VIDEO ABOUT THE INTERNAL GARDEN AND DANCE SPACE!

Prices and registration information:
In the last years and in the last period the cost of life has increased dramatically, however, we decided to offer really low prices (even lower than the last year edition) absorbing the additional costs ourselves and reducing in this way our capacity to cover the expenses.
Why we are doing this?
In these critical moments we believe it is important to offer something constructive, positive and beautiful for the people that everybody can afford and don't become art and self-discovery something exclusive to wealthy people, so we offer various options of prices and everyone can choose the fee that wants to pay depending on their financial situation and own desire tp support us!
Those who can pay more are supporting our effort and the high expences we face, supporting the event and people who are in a more difficult situation.
Please feel free to choose without stress the fee that you prefer 😊
The fees include all the workshops and jams, all the meals (three meals per day! starting from dinner on August 17 to breakfast on August 23), single bed in shared apartments.
Note: sheets, towels and blankets are not included, we suggest that you bring your own sheets, if you have difficulties bringing them, send us a message to supply them to you.
Tents: the space has some huge ancient walnut trees with very thick shadow (the circumference of each tree is bigger than 40 metres!) where you can put your tent. The price for joining the retreat is the same as on the shared apartments.
