Activities
The LAB is a private structure that offers various theorico-practical activities that are of interest for inner research (but not only), ranging from postural yoga to breathing and energy techniques, from meditation to conscious movement, from critico-constructive dialogue to the art of observation, from mental hygiene to the exploration of the limits of the human machine.
These different aspects, which the LAB’s attendees will be able to experience, both separately or integrated in a same moment of practice, express synergy between them, i.e., they are able to “work together,” producing results usually not obtainable individually.
For example, working with yoga asanas strengthens the physico-energetic structure, improving the quality of the meditative posture and favoring the harmonization of different possible energy imbalances. This facilitates the conscious work on subtle flows, which in turn creates a condition capable of promoting greater body relaxation, therefore also the ability to remain longer, and more stably, in the meditative condition.
The work with conscious movement, like dance, promotes joint release, frees congested energies, helping to tune and harmonize the different spheres of being, including the emotional one.
Over time, these and numerous other synergies facilitate the construction of a more stable psychophysical center and the acquisition of a greater level of self-awareness. This possibility is in turn enhanced by the work of self-investigation, the practice of observation and the responsible exploration of the frontier between real and illusory limits.
Some activities are offered on a regular basis, to the extent that they receive sufficient subscriptions, others extemporaneously (to be always informed about the proposed activities, you can subscribe to the mailing-list). Some activities take place in groups, others as part of individual meetings.
In a unitary perspective of the ancient science of Yoga, freed from its religious and cultural aspects, we will move our bodies, dense and subtle, to inhabit them more fully, in order to better inhabit the present moment and turn our gaze towards a brighter future [with Donatella].
When promoted consciously and accompanied by our breath, free dance becomes dynamic meditation and allows us to witness the possibility of flowing directly from our Being, without mental interference [with Massimiliano, Manuela and Elisita].
We all have the ability to touch the stillness and peace within. The breath is a tool available to all of us, which helps us return to ourselves and to the present moment to live better [with Samantha].
An evening presentation of the book Quantum Quest, which will become an opportunity for open dialogue with the audience on the mystery of quantum physics and how research into the foundations of physical theories really happens [with Massimiliano].
Blog
This section of the LAB website brings together a series of short articles, designed to provide ideas for reflection and exploration. Unlike the more monographic contributions published in the AutoRicerca journal, these texts offer concise perspectives, targeted insights, and real conceptual “gems.” Their intent is not to exhaust a topic, but to inspire, stimulate further exploration, raise questions, and, in some cases, invite the reader to directly experience what is proposed, both in terms of reflection and practice.
I cared deeply about that journey. We had planned it to celebrate my partner Max’s sixtieth birthday, far away from a life of constant technological connection and close only to the vastness of the Indian Ocean and the mystery of the creatures it conceals, capable of taking anyone’s breath away as they glide in countless numbers along the coral reef.
Soul writing is not merely autobiographical work; however, our lives and their meaning are implicitly at the centre of every introspective writing process. Speaking about one’s own life therefore becomes inevitable, since each of us is a unique combination of universal themes and represents a small, singular contribution to the great river of life.
Focusing is an introspective technique that brings thinking into collaboration with a particular kind of bodily sensing—an expression of the somatic unconscious and its capacity to orient processes of awareness. Through focusing, we learn to dialogue with the body not only as a source of symptoms, but as a repository of implicit knowledge that points toward the direction of change.
There is a recurring linguistic signal in certain spiritual environments that should immediately alert a student—or a potential one. It is the systematic use of phrases such as: “what I’m telling you is only a simplification of something much more complex,” “some things cannot be explained in words,” “you’re not ready to understand this yet,” “this requires a more advanced level”...
Videos
The LAB’s projects also include offering valuable video content in the form of interviews, conferences, educational presentations, and practical ideas. The materials are available in both Italian and English, and sometimes also in French, and address topics of interest for inner and outer research. Below are playlists containing the numerous videos that have been published. Interested people are invited to visit the channel and, if they wish, subscribe to follow updates.
A Parlor is a place for meeting and conversation, where dialogue takes place in a relaxed manner between people who are genuinely interested.
This playlist contains a number of videos presenting the contents of various issues of the AutoRicerca journal.
Here you will find videos dedicated to the practices proposed by the LAB. Some offer an introductory description, while others can be used directly as a guide to carry out a practice independently.
Here you will find targeted, mostly short pieces dedicated to inner and outer exploration: fragments of observation and essential pointers designed to stimulate personal reflection and open up new perspectives.
