Last October, at the Relais Cocci Grifoni, a beautiful thing happened, an Autumn Ecosophy happened.
Completely immersed in nature and guided by professionals, we experienced beauty and wellness, stories and traditions of our land and our past.
Ecosofia d’Autunno – A cultural retreat in the middle of a beautiful nothingness among the places of the Sibyl was a crossroads between two different types of roots. The first natural and entirely personal to rediscover and feel thanks to the guidance of Dina Nerino, Conscious Communication Consultant and Mindwoones® facilitator. The second were cultural, to be rediscovered and known together with Elena Santilli – classical philologist, researcher and Culture & Experience Designer for Expirit – who dedicated space to the role of women from the Picenum civilisation, to the Marches communalities, passing through the legend of the Apennine Sibyl; and Cesare Catà – Philosopher and Theatre Performer – with his show lecture that embraced the theme of the passage between the world of the living and the world beyond between classical myth, northern European tradition and Marches folklore. Musical moments curated by Elena Santilli and Serena Angeletti gave strength and character to dense emotions.
The brainchild of Marta Capriotti and Simona Angeletti, Ecosofia d’Autunno (Autumn Ecosophy) was the zero edition of a project that united our two souls: the wine production of Tenuta Cocci Grifoni and the eco-sustainable hospitality of Relais Cocci Grifoni.
‘The retreat,’ says Marta Cocci Grifoni, ’is another example of how environment and culture, beautiful and necessary, ephemeral and profound can be in synergy, not two options to choose from, but one and the other indispensable to the person.’
‘In the concept of Ecosophy,’ adds Simona Angeletti, ’we have conveyed the wisdom of nature and the magic of Autumn. A season in which the natural landscape changes before our eyes, becoming, if we allow it, a mirror of our inner one. The beauty of transformation, the search for awareness and our cultural and human roots, and the centrality of taking care of oneself, one’s time and one’s relationship with others, are the themes that inspired us in the design of this retreat.’
For our reality, the Ecosofia d’Autunno experience fits naturally into a broader idea of wine tourism that is also open to cultural events.
Our aim is to make Ecosofia d’Autunno a recurring event, designed to celebrate the seasons of change – autumn and spring -, inviting people to take a moment to themselves in a unique place where nature is in dialogue with people.
