Art and yoga retreat - sacred geometry and visionary painting
SOLD OUT
The idea of Healing Vision came naturally as a Re-Treat idea after taking into consideration the pressure we all went through during this challenging time around the world. We look forward to taking the time to feed our body, spirit, and soul without any big demands, tight schedules, or high expectations from ourselves.
This workshop is a great leap towards the visions that populate our unconscious, explore them through movement and mediation, and relax in a serene place with wonderful cuisine immersed in the lush and vibrant nature. We will find ourselves in a remote village, where the wind will mark the hours to be able to devote ourselves to visionary painting and ancestral practices of meditation and yoga. Four days to breathe the sea breeze again and find the space to explore your dreams and to be able to interpret and paint them.
We will start our days with sweet Yoga for all levels and we will send them with meditation sessions, we promise you a regenerating Re-Treat for your body and your soul! During the days there will be practical and theoretical painting lessons, where you can learn techniques and put them into practice letting ourselves go to the creative flow, always accompanied by Gaya and the whole team.
To make the Digital Detox experience more authentic and profitable, the staff will be available to keep the participants' digital tools for the duration of the stay. In any case, it is possible to agree with the staff for special needs regarding the use of digital devices.
Comfortable accommodation for the week in either a shared or private room.
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner – healthy, chef-prepared meals everyday
A week of personal development and self-care workshops to choose from.
A Community of like-minded people to meet and explore with.
Torri superiore is a warm heart social project. The resident community restored the medieval village during 25 years.
Gaia dedicates her life to art in general and visionary art; for her, this is the way to represent the spiritual level, the vibrations as a structure of the universe and share the message of pure love, what the vision teaches, what the matter hides, what our 5 senses cannot feel, the search for truth. He studied the main painting techniques at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, at the Roman School of Comics, and digital painting at the Accademia del Genio in Rome.
Gaia began experimenting with the art of vision with out-of-body experiences, lucid dream analysis, astral travel, various meditation techniques including Buddhism, yoga, Merkaba meditation, the study of quantum physics and other writings, medicinal plants, ceremonies, and ancestral rituals.
In the works, we perceive the personal mission of the artist to favor the intent in a collective evolution on a social and spiritual level, an awakening of the consciousness of the masses, an opening of the heart in the individual.
Graduated in Cognitive Psychology at the Bicocca University of Milan and in Experimental Psychology in Padua. He approaches Yoga at the age of 18 and practices traditional Hatha yoga and Iyengar yoga in India and with various European and international teachers. Holistic operator specialized in traditional therapeutic Thai massage. In 2021 he obtained the PDC (Permaculture Design Certificate).

Ecovillage nestled close to the sea
We will be hosted in Torri Superiore Ecovillage: The medieval village of Torri Superiore is a small jewel of popular architecture located at the foot of the Ligurian Alps, a few kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea and the French border, near the coastal city of Ventimiglia. Originally from the 13th century, the village is structured in three main bodies with more than 160 rooms, all connected by an intricate fabric of stairways and passageways. Its complex structure has often been compared to a fortress or labyrinth perched on a mountainside. The village has been largely restored and is now open to all people interested in learning about ecovillage life and looking for an environment full of suggestions.
