"The journey of a thousand miles
Starts with a single step"

Lao Tzu

Stay tuned for and , from of , , , , , growing and evolving through a variety of and with and more....

And how none of them really matter, and that every step forwards,
was actually a step closer
to finding
myself
my "treasure"
Which was always
Right
Where
I
Was
🙈🍃🥰🙏🦋

Water flows,
Overflows, changes direction,
shapes the land.

Rivers merge,
shaping green valleys,
revealing ancient roman paths,
merged with islamic traditions,

shaping multicultural
sunrises and sunsets,
blue skies and misty dawns,

nurturing wildlife,
maintaining ancient castles and gates,
narrow streets, city walls,

A place which combines nature
with ancient history
Observed from different shapes and angles.

A place where water flows
unstopable,
flows, overflows, changes direction
and shapes the land,
through new moons and full moons.

Emotions overflow,
and emotions sedate,
Just like the water.

Observe the rise and fall
of the water level inside.

The river is always here to guide you see...

There is always at least one reason
to make you smile
And there is always at least one reason
to make you cry.

Wherever you go, wherever you are
It can be as beautiful or as ugly
As you feel inside.

Your internal river is right here
Awaiting for you
to turn within
and face it

Until you are ready
to merge
with the rest
of the sea 🌊

Love life🌻
Keep exploring🐝
Spend as much time in nature as possible🌅
Visit new places🌊
Stay alone or with friends🌱🍃
Welcome change🦋
Remember to breath, rest and recharge🍂

Happy peaceful holidays dear friends, thank you for your support and love!
I wish you find or create oportunities to do more of what you really need to these days!
Take this advice from nature and rest as she does!
Take plenty of rest, take a break from everything that makes you stressed like work, family, overthinking, self-sabotage.
All you have to do is find your quiet place and breath.

Enjoy nature, with respect🍃🙏🍂

*Winter solstice*
embrace the darkest corners

On the shortest day of the year,
We chose to dive deeper inside our hearts,
deeper inside the earth.

In the darkest day of the year,
we chose to embrace the darkness within.

Merge with it, explore, listen to it rather than fear it.

🍂🍃May we find the courage to face the darkest corners of our soul, of our body, of our mind accept or transform them and move on.

May we appreciate the light and darkness, of each day, not just this one.

May we honor the light & darkness within, always.

May we lovingly acknowledge to ourselves the right to 'close down' , 'switch off' , hybernate, rest and recharge.

May we offer to ourselves the oportunity to take our time into our cave, until it feels warm and safe enough to get back out there again.

May we are open to observe what the *Winter Solstice* symbolises and observe how those reflect into our life and experiences.

May we find the balance within, no matter how much darkness or how much light exists out there.

*its amazing how I find again caves within my path, 12 days after finding the previous ones in another country, both of them unplanned. Keep being open, follow the path, dare to enter the cave, keep moving on, fear not the flow, dive deep, face your sh*t🦋

In places like this one, is where we have the chance to remind to ourselves that life is a miracle.

That nature is full of miracles.
Some of them, need time, patience, a combination of elements, conditions and consistency to be created and transformed in their present form.

Exactly like each life form that ever existed on this planet, as every human being was created, every human relation, each human idea, each human creation and collaboration.

Nature is full of miracles, which can be lessons, reflections, symbolic patterns and guidance.

Water, such a miraculous element, it flows, it changes forms and transforms into waves, ice, snow, stalactites.... and reflects through the creation of those forms that life can be created and transformed in the most unexpected, unimaginable, breathtaking ways!

So every time you feel like you want to give up on life dear friend, look around you and remember that life does not give up on you. It just changes, transforms and recreates, just like you!

Keep trusting those changes, keep welcoming your transformation, keep trusting life and your own miraculous Self!

CASTELLANA GROTTE:
❄ 3.348 meters long,
❄maximum depth 122m below street level,
❄temperature 16,5°C.

❄Located on the south-eastern limestone plateau “Murge” , which began to form during the upper Cretaceous about 90 – 100 million years ago.

❄ The creation of stalactite: "Once it reaches the voids of the caverns, the water droplet, falling to the ground, leaves a deposit of calcium carbonate, either on the vault or on the floor, which respectively allows the growth of the stalactites, the formations that hang from the ceiling, and of the underlying stalagmites. Over time, the progressive growth of a stalactite and stalagmite will lead to their union and the formation of a column."

❄ In addition to these common forms, there are many other types of drip-stones, such as flow-stones and curtains, forming due to the flow of water, coralloids and pond crystals, generated in an underwater environment and, finally, helictites, which challenge the law of gravity, and cave pearls, successive layers of calcite originating around a microscopic grain of rock.

Honor your morning ritual,
Get up,
Wash your face,
Breath fresh air,
And move, in anyway possible

Let the river flow in you, through you💦
"Do your practice and all is coming"🙏
Be out in nature as much as possible🍃

'Romanceholic or authentic relating?'

I will meet you there,

Where the sky meets the sea
Where the sweet water merges
with the salty water.
Where the sun kisses the sea,
where the water becomes golden
And the sky pink...

I will meet you there,
Where our paths cross
Where our bodies merge with water,
Where our presence meets presence,
Where we kiss with no touch,
Where our colors become more vibrant,
Like feeling closer to 'home'

How would you describe it if you met someone, a random person, just by crossing paths with him inside the water, with not even looking? Just feeling the joy of your body being held and cleansed by the water and at the same time this meeting , this crossing of two joyful bodies in water exchanged some kind of information?

And how would you describe a sun meeting , while drying after this healing cold water bathing, when during another cross you find a silly excuse to talk to each other. When language is a bearer but body language is not?

And how would you describe it when it's time to go and you hear 'Ok, then maybe I see you here next week, if you come'
With no phone number or social media involved in the meantime, not even thinking to ask or expecting to hear that shallow way of communication even as an option?

How would you describe the above? Old school? Romantic? Sweet?
Does this mean something to you? How do you feel social media and phone interrupts the way you are relating to others?

I would love to here how it resonates with people from older generations, when social media where not playing such an important role but also from younger ones who might not know any other way!

Life can be such a wise teacher if we can just stand as the observer,

and if we can stand before those who we think they hurt us,
ready to listen,
with an open heart!

The world could really be a better place!

Oh my heart, remain open,
be willing to express,

and also prepared to receive,

with no expectation,
no judgment,
no conclusion,

but with pure acceptance.

That is when real transformation begins!

* in Messina, where the Tyrrhenian sea meats Ionion sea and the two water forces merge,
where the land of Sicily seems as if it touches the land of Italy,
the closest point,
the less distance point
which you can reach even by swimming...

Flow like water
* unstopable *

Water finds no boundaries, no blocks, no shut doors
Water penetrates, blends in, transforms, but keeps flowing no matter what

Even if this means braking and shaking rocks and mountains,

Water keeps flowing,
Unstopable.

Be like water flow,
Keep moving,
No matter what!

Wow! It's been some time since our last group weekend excursion but we did not expect such immediate response, thanks guys 🥰

Sooo, TWO FINAL SPOTS LEFT for our upcoming BEACH HIKE on 15th & 16th October including beach hike & cleanup, camping, canoeing with .in.flow_ , slackline with and (optionally) vegan food.

As always, during our events, we avoid and suggest to you to do the same, single use plastic, smoking, drinking, phone and social media use, meat consumption and any other substances use. In this way, we enjoy in the healthiest and cleanest way possible the fresh air with respect to our bodies, nature and each other.

🍂Autumn equinox🍂

If fear of death is the primal fear and the core behind every single one of our fears…

And if this day symbolizes, since the ancient times, transistions, balance and liberation from our burdens…

If it’s a day in which our ancestors used to honor and pay respects to mother nature, to changes, to succession…

If in some traditions it used to be the day of the decendance of the daughter of Godess Demetra protector of nature, Persephone, to the underworld,

for inner reflection, stillness, rest, before her rebirth,



Then,

We can sense, see, feel, observe,
that even today, nature is our ongoing teacher…

From nature, to ancient history,
from the energy of a mountain
to the energy of an ancient temple,

the answers, symbolisms, reflections, are there.

Guiding us, fearlessly, supportively,
to face our darkest fears
Let’s choose to do it consciously this time!

Happy Autumn equinox dear friends
And as nature starts to ‘decent’, ‘rest’ , ‘transition’, so do we.

Happy transitioning into our next season, then!

Keep enjoying nature with care,
towards yourself, nature, and each other.

Ciao Etna🌋

Nice to finally meet you !

In awe...

Realizing, once more
Of how tiny we are
Compared to this universe...

Thank you Etna for
Reminding us of how easily things can change,
with an "internal explosion"

And how powerful, yet helpless
Each and every one of us can be!

Keep being grateful for each moment,
Keep exploring this planet,
With respect
To it
And to each other

Who is ready for an excursion in nature???✌

Se il rumore del mare
sovrasta quello dei pensieri,
sei nel posto giusto! 🌊

When the sound of the sea
is louder than the one of your thoughts,
then you are in the right place🌊

Life is full of surprises...

How can something which seems too far,
too challenging,

be in fact much more simple
and achievable?

There is always a choice...

Judging through the mind
Or walking through the heart

Choose wisely,
Happy Friday dear friends

Every season has a shade of gray
And every season has a shade of blue

Transformation starts,
when you start enjoying both 🖤💙

What is your favorite shade of blue ? 🌊💙🐚

When you wake up at a place
You always wanted to be
And now you are,
No matter how,
No matter with who
You just are..

And the only thing left to do is
Just Smile
And just Be

Meteor somewhere between the earth and the sky,
Connected,
But always Rooted

"Lu sule, lu mare, lu ientu..."

and then you are in...

and from within you realize that the "dark" cave you enter shimers a light,

a light which was not visible from your "comfort zone"

***

And now you take a look from the "other side"

And then is when you realize
Fear was only in the mind...

"Fear" is to be lived and not to be feared !

Enjoy living!
Dare, risk, say yes, change, move, travel, explore !

Stay authentic, connected,

Going with the flow of the water is always smoother than going against it.
The choice is yours!💦

Only make sure to enjoy the process which ever the choice is ;)

And Remember,
Any path, any river is leading you to the same vast ocean.🏞
