Description
We are a couple about 50 years old for many years we have been dedicated to nomadic art, design and various ecovillage projects
Marilena is an artist and designer who has dedicated 20 years of her life to the passion for rural architecture typical of Puglia and Mongolia connecting these countries also culturally.
She has a nomadic art workshop in Mongolia connected to the country house where we live and work in Italy
A cultural exchange center between Italy and Mongolia.
Marilena designed Yurts which in the place represent spaces of hospitality and study as well as sharing of events and seminars.
For many years we have created similar places online throughout Italy with yurts travelling between Italy, Europe and Mongolia.
Now we are creating a school of nomadic art in Puglia based also on the sustainability of living at 360 degrees
The project is in progress and will be managed by a cultural association which will be joined by other members and will cover all the issues that have affected our actual work history
Art, environmental , education, biological self-production, yurt assembly, nomadic school, learning of the architectural techniques typical of Puglia and Mongolia
Tommaso is an expert yurt fitter and will be the teacher of this section of activities
Our house is a cultural center, and consists of one hectare plot of land with a small wood, trullo, laboratory and yurts
we have animals, dogs, goats, cats, geese, (horses and donkeys arriving)
Comparing Western and Eastern spirituality and philosophy were the philosophical basis of our work
in the center we will host meditation, yoga and seminars with excellent Masters of different disciplines in comparison.
