The woods are a magical place, they always have been.

We once lived there (until recently, actually, given man's life on this Earth) and it was normal and everyday to share their magic, then we left them and began to build walls and distances.

The woods that were our home, became a far away place, something other than ourselves.

With distance, ignorance has grown and with ignorance, knowledge and respect have disappeared.

The woods are not places, the woods are living beings and as for all living beings there is no light without darkness but the darkness is that of our fears while the light is that one of the universal love of Mother Earth and of all its inhabitants, us with them.

At Ca' Inua we experience the woods with great gratitude, we are the wardens of the woods, but in reality, they're the ones keeping and protecting us. Their beauty and peace, their words and hugs are what we want to take care of and they are what we want to offer you.

Spend some time carefully, abandon yourself to silence and listening and you will notice many things, about the woods, of course, but also about yourself.

ACTIVITY

Wild medicinal and edible herbs

A walk through the fields and woods of Ca'Inua together with Alessandra to learn and discover the characteristics and virtues of many of the spontaneous plants that grow in Ca'Inua, their uses and suitable times for harvesting.

During and after the walk you will build your personal herbarium together.

Star Walk

A night walk in the woods, a bit of a thrill, thousands and thousands of stars.

Night in yurt

[from late spring]

In the chestnut grove of Ca'Inua stands a magnificent original Mongolian yurt. The structural characteristics of the yurt make it an ideal place to immerse yourself in a harmonious and contemplative silence and sleep in a space completely free of electronic instruments and electromagnetic fields. You can enjoy a magical night, watching the stars through the transparent dome, sleeping on the Japanese futons and waking up to witness a wonderful sunrise from the small terrace oriented towards the sunrise.

It is also an experience suitable for families with children, in this case you will know whether to replace the silence with curiosity and the desire to discover the little ones!

Wild day in the woods

In Ca'Inua’s woods there is a base camp, created and organized to give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the wildest part of... yourself.

Accompanied by Ludovico, you can choose between two slightly and profoundly different experiences.

    • Wild Path

    Learning to survive in the woods was essential for our species, but there was more. Man was in connection with nature, he was in touch and felt the forest around him. During a day in the woods we will mix survival techniques and listening practices to suggest the great possibilities we innately have of living in harmony and safety in a natural environment.

    • Survival and bushcraft

    We will spend the day learning some basic techniques for survival in a natural environment, from building a natural shelter, to making water drinkable, from orientation to lighting a fire; we will have a packed lunch and return before sunset, when the forest comes alive with other inhabitants.
