Earth Lodge Event Reminder

A celebration of community of personal growth that has lasted more than 20 years. It’s pretty amazing, and we’d love to have you join us.

Location: Tuscany, Italy

Earth Lodge is a big family in which we grow in beauty.

For 21 years, each summer, we meet to live together in Nature, to experience sharing, enjoyment, harmony.

The Earth Lodge is a place where we grow hope: all together we experiment with the possibility of living in a community model that promotes growth and personal and collective evolution.

The seeds of beauty that are planted during these day are a small treasure to bring back home and to see them sprouting up in our family, in relationships, at school, with friends, at work. It is a very strong experience of change in which we can awaken the memory of who we really are, remembering what our soul’s design is in order to actualize it.

The Earth Lodge is a “womb” where we find knowledge and learn how to make our own life a ceremony, every day, in our daily experience.
