TuSai propone percorsi di consapevolezza integrale, che uniscono la spiritualità all’esigenza di risolvere problemi e conflitti legati alla vita quotidiana, accompagnando le persone a connettersi con la propria saggezza interiore (lo sciamano/la sciamana interna). Il disegno, la mindfulness, e l’ascolto delle proprie emozioni, diventano cosí strumenti decisivi per cambiare la propria vita e prendere contatto con il proprio potenziale unico: ciò che ognuno, in cuor suo, sa (da qui il nome Tu-Sai).
L’arteterapia e la meditazione Travel Meditation vengono vissuti in chiave POP, accessibile a tutti, attraverso giochi ed esperienze esplorative, che promuovono l’assertività, l’equilibrio ed il rilascio di stress, frustrazione da conflitti emozionali di coppia, lavoro e qualsiasi altro motivo di ansia.

9-12 June 2023 – Geo-maieutical Journey “THE WINGS OF AWARENESS” Oxford / Thames Valley England, UK

THE WINGS OF AWARENESS in association with Break Free in 23

Oxford / Thames Valley England, UK

Although we don’t often admit it, even to ourselves, we are, in fact, very often just lost in our everyday struggles to simply get by. What if you could just break free from the everyday and leap into an adventure that has the potential to make your everyday life so much better? How fabulous would that be, right! The Wings of Awareness is the leap you need to take to fulfil your potential, to give you the insight and perspective you need to make the positive changes for your future success. Are you ready for a 3-day immersive adventure into you? Then follow me for all of this and more:

  • A celebration of your inner child as you connect with yourself again, the real you, the child you were that had all the potential to be whatever you wanted to be
    A journey of discovery along the river of your life, your story, clearly laid out in your unique geo-emotional map. A story to tell, a story to see from a whole new perspective, a story that enables you to plan into your brightest future
    An opportunity not just to learn about healing the body but also the mind, in group, and as an option, one to one with our guest healers
    A day out in Oxford, guided in a way you have never been guided before. This is about place, about emotion, about connection
    Good food and company, we eat, drink, laugh, share stories, connection for the soul
    Play, the greatest way to learn, to have fun and to bring people together in trust and friendship

From Friday 9th June to Monday 12th June 2023, take that leap, spread your wings and join us in the Cotswolds.

THE THIRD PARADISE ON THE RIVER

21-24 September 2023
GEOGRAPHERS OF EMOTIONS:
Marco Bertagni, Ernesto Panza & Lucia Lamonarca

Each Place has something that deserves to be told, emotions to elicit. Each of us can associate to the spirit of that Place his or her own perspective, story, search, journey.

This is what geo-maieutics is all about: putting together the physical journey with the personal one, overlapping real geographies with inner landscapes.
The innovative methodology The River of Life, created by Marco Bertagni, targets to improving personal development and the knowledge of places that, thanks to their geographical features, allow the emergence of deep emotions.
Marco Bertagni and EMME’s Geographers of Emotions are creating geo-maieutical paths in order to offer unique experiences to travellers and the opportunity to get closer to themselves, to others and to Earth.
In September 2023 we are realising this travel experience in the Biellese area. Biella, che “all’opra fumanti camini ostenta” according to Carducci’s definition, will certainly surprise the travellers who will get into a changement process and will realise that, as Eraclito said “No man ever steps in the same river twice”: so Travellers will be different than they were at the beginning of the journey. And also the River will….
A real River will be the star of this experience: the Cervo River.
On Sept 21, after the introduction to The River of Life Project the travellers will play the first two River Games: Get Ready and Map out your Emotions. They will get familiar with the rules of Overground, a geo-emotional photo hunting.
The following morning, Sept 22, the group – which for organizers’ choice won’t count more than 18 people – will walk to the wild Lago della Vecchia, at the source of the Cervo River to evoke the primordial feeling of the night of times: the beginning of EARTH.
The magic atmosphere of Sanctuary of Oropa will be the location of ROOTS, the second stage of this 6 geo-emotional stages experience that the Geographers of Emotions of EMME, Marco Bertagni, Ernesto Panza and Lucia Lamonarca are proposing and leading. It’s here that the River Game Geographer of Emotions will be played. Two teams will be created and will dive into the integrated knowledge, through the art and the beauty of sharing emotions and the magic of creating together a path to reach a dream of someone unknown but perceived like everyone’s dream.
On Sept 23, the EMOTIONS chapter will be filled with the first edition of a very innovative coaching experience and artistic atelier, based on the meeting of geography with the art of…table setting, aiming to evoke the spirit of being together, cultural sharing and conviviality by conceiving and realizing a mise en table, in the stunning gardens of Villa Malpenga.
The stage LIFE will be experienced in the blossoming plants of the Burcina: blossoming should not be the reason of our life?
The unique and hilly scenario of the Baraggia di Candelo will host travellers during the PHILOSOPHY stage of this emotional journey on Sept 24 and the Cervo River will still be there, flowing…
Similarly, the River Cervo and the music of its waters will be background of the magnificent Spazio Terzo Paradiso, in Biella, at Michelangelo Pistoletto’s Cittadellarte, where the travellers will have a talk about FREEDOM.
The journey will end up with a debate during which each traveller will have her/his own geo-emotional profile by harmonizing many elements – material and spiritual – that have been gathered during this experience.
