    Retreat to the Cosmic Family

    Throughout my life, I've always wondered whether my work reflected my true uniqueness. For many years, I tried to resist this temptation, then one day I made up my mind, and everything changed. Now I'm truly satisfied. I feel like I'm making the most of my life; my work helps me grow, it fuels me. Sometimes we need help to express our true selves, and often the environment and the people we associate with can't help us. We know full well that this is crucial, and the more we know ourselves, the more we need our peers, updated to our contemporary version. I conceived this experience precisely to fill this need: It's concrete help for those who want to begin to have their own unique, true, and powerful Presence, both on social media and in life and relationships. Living within their own being.

    I designed this new experience by seeing it emerge spontaneously from our direct research with the Augural Pack and Nature. Merging with the Augur Pack is an opportunity to express our authenticity, embrace it, and embrace life with it, proud and satisfied with our own creation and contribution to the world. A true Expansion of Consciousness that materializes in the creation of high-quality digital content that demonstrates the richness generated within, through unique works of art and performances.

    Here are some Spontaneous Ritual practices you can try:
    (This is just an indication, as all of this is ongoing and therefore evolves over time.)

    Cooking - The Alchemical Art that Nourishes, Heals, Transforms, and Fills Voids
    Sharing Food - Celebrating and Nourishing the Soul and Collective Consciousness
    The Cleansing of the Being - The Consciousness of Water (Sacred Cave)
    Surrender and the Encounter with Infinite Possibilities (August's Stage)
    Dialogue of Consciousness with the Pack, the Elements, and the Plants (August's Stage)
    My Place in the Augural Pack (August's Stage)
    The Augur - Evocation and Reading of the Signa - (Stage and Nature)
    Symbolic Hunting (sacred dialogue with nature under the guidance of the augural dog)
    Osmosis of Consciousness with the Pack Augurale - The Network That Supports
    The Field of Natural Coherence
    The Dance That Transforms and Regenerates
    The Augurale Massage: From the Body to Symbolic Vision
    Art as a Form of Collaboration and Osmotic Dialogue

    Where We Are: Florentine Chianti, in one of the most beautiful areas, a small medieval village surrounded by a nature reserve, two lakes, an Etruscan necropolis, and a spring.

    Roberto was born and raised in authentic Tuscan tradition, and like his ancestors, he has an ancestral connection to this land. He worked for 20 years as an art director for contemporary art, fashion, and entertainment. Then, feeling a strong call to Nature through dogs, he decided to change his life and make dialogue with Nature his life, his passion, and his research. Over time, thanks to direct research within the Augurale Dog Pack, as he calls them, he has extended his ability to communicate with Nature, the Elements, and wild animals, discovering every day the ancestral culture of peoples connected to the Earth, such as the Etruscans, which inspires him. The Augur Dog Pack is the result of many years of study, research, and total dedication. The Augur Sciences he teaches are a true co-creation with the Pack and Nature. He currently dedicates himself to accompanying people on this wonderful, transformative journey to discover our authenticity.

    Leandra
    She is Sicilian in origin, but she has explored Italy and abroad, learning about the diverse cultures that dot the planet. With a degree in Painting and Book Restoration, she has gained diverse work experience in the art world, ranging from teaching to actual creative work through exhibitions and performances in Italy and beyond. She now pursues her artistic vision in illustration, music, and photography. She brings inspiration by building invisible bridges, bestowing harmony and beauty through decorative art, and capturing everyday life with multimedia content. After an educational experience, she now lives and contributes her being to the project.

    We're looking for someone to prepare meals thoughtfully: empathy, social intelligence, creativity, listening skills, and a spirit of collaboration and exchange are required. Our diet is non-exclusive; it's plant-based but includes cheese, eggs, and meat. Meals are for a maximum of four people, including staff. In addition to three meals and accommodation, we offer the opportunity to participate in all the activities. We prefer someone who wants to stay for at least two weeks; longer periods are possible if the collaboration flows well. Thank you.
