Apennines

The Walk: from Emilia Romagna to Tuscany

A journey through the lands of the Apennines, among intentional communities and ecovillages, to discover authentic ways of living in harmony with nature. “Silent Steps among the Ecovillages and Communities of the Apennines” is more than a journey: it is an experience of listening, silence and immersion in vibrant and welcoming alternative realities.

We start at Jana, a place filled with welcoming and shamanic vibes, then on to Alluce Verde, an oasis of comfort that lives in relationship with local communities. We continue to Meraki, vibrant and structured, where facilitation and playfulness weave together the talents of individuals; Albero della Vita, which has made self-sufficiency and personal growth its main goals; and Nabhi, a spiritual community surrounded by greenery, where contact with nature and meditation come together in a profound experience.

Flowing water accompanies us along the trail, until the landscape becomes wilder: we enter the Valley of the Elves, in an environment enveloped by the breath of the forest, amidst the singing of birds and the sound of streams. From here the path leads us to CiriceA, witness of resiliency, and then to Avalon, an Elven settlement nestled among olive trees, where community life blends with ancient wisdom and a deep sense of freedom.

We will meet different realities, each with its own character, history, and unique ways of sharing. Step by step, the walk becomes a bridge between communities and wayfarers. In silence we listen to our bodies, the breath of the earth and the energy of those who have chosen to build new ways of inhabiting the world. “Silent Steps” is a transformative experience, a journey within and without, where each encounter becomes an opportunity for growth and inspiration.
