Trevi nel Lazio, Apennine Mountains
May 11-15, 2019
Group up to 12 people

This workshop will introduce you to meditative and reflective methods of ancient philosophical schools. It’s aim is
to awaken your mind, or experience of what ancient philosophical schools of the West called ataraxia (deep insight into nature of existence accompanied with extraordinary serenity). The tile of the workshop “Ancient Therapies” refers to the therapeutical teachings of the Stoics, Epicurus and Buddha. All of them state that creativity, happiness and peace of mind can be reached only by understanding how the process of life works and acting in harmony with this insight. We will not achieve these objectives by fortifying a strong ego in opposition to the process of life.
