Program Details

Our project is based in Aieta, Cosenza, a historic village where time seems to have stood still. We are a space dedicated to the harmonious development of arts and knowledge in a preserved agrarian context. We host artists and dreamers who feel an affinity with nature and with cultural research. From caring for the garden to organizing concerts, theatre performances and art, our aim is to create a bridge between rural roots and contemporary artistic expression.


Activities & Shift

The day begins with a four-hour morning contribution dedicated to the needs of the house and the land: gardening, care of animals and small maintenance or repair tasks.

The afternoon, on the other hand, is devoted to conviviality and creative growth: you will be able to participate in artistic, cultural, holistic activities, or simply enjoy the regenerating silence of Aieta.

You will also have the opportunity to actively participate in the organization and realization of cultural events hosted in our dwelling.


Rules

Spirit of initiative and active participation in community life.
Care for the agrarian environment and for natural cycles.
Respect and kindness toward our animals.
Sensitivity to artistic activities and the silence necessary for sound research.
