Amiglia is a place where we love to share life as an intentional community. We love to welcome guests to join a retreat and explore meditation, self-inquiry, Nobody’s Dance and Moving Language. We welcome artists to come and create their work at Amiglia as artists in residence.

Beautiful Anaïs came to see her mama and brother
In early 2025 Amiglia is completed by animals: chickens Luca takes care of, and a dog that comes to visit us. Daily life at the intentional community as it unfolds
The first three chickens have arrived
We hope they will not be caught by a stone marten
And then a dog came by
An adorable one
We're calling him Emilio
