Casa Guidi 

Querci, Via dell’Oste 6, 53019, Castelnuovo di Berardenga, Siena 

Inizieremo alle ore 15:00 del 30 Agosto e termineremo alle ore 15:00 del 4 Settembre

Our retreat Art of Communication takes place in Castelnuovo di Berardenga, in the beautiful Chianti region, just 15 minutes away from Siena. The residence is a renovated old furnace surrounded by lawns, a saltwater pool, and two small guest cottages.

This residence regularly hosts small international groups for Nia, fostering an intimate atmosphere through its location and the hostess’s warm hospitality.

Due to its characteristics, it can only accommodate a limited number of people, making the experience intimate and providing the opportunity to get to know all the participants 

Nestled within the grounds of the residence lies a tranquil oasis—a saltwater pool embraced by expansive lawns. Here, trainees can unwind amidst the pool and the lush greenery that surrounds it.

A special care is taken in preparing the three meals included in the accommodation price: any specific dietary request will be respected, and the food is expertly prepared using local ingredients and traditional recipes.

Casa Guidi is renowned for offering healthy, wholesome, and balanced meals without compromising on taste.

Join Letizia Accinelli for the Nia Blue Belt Training.

Continue your Nia journey with the Nia Blue Belt: The Art of Communication where you will explore how to take the foundation of sensation and awareness you discovered in White Belt and expand it into deep relationship with the world around you.

FOCUS: Art of Communication

INTENT: Create intimacy through somatic relationships Embody the Foundation of Nia 

Blue Belt, the second level of Nia education, explores how to create healthy relationships through body-centered communication.

This intensive introduces the next set of 13 Nia principles, which focus on the 4 realms of body, mind, emotions and spirit.

While the White Belt curriculum focuses entirely on awareness of physical sensation, Blue Belt applies these skills to explore internal sensations as perceived through – but distinct from – physical sensations in the body.

Blue Belt Principle #1: The Joy of Being in Relationship, integrates the sensation of Joy with awareness that Joy is something outside the self, which we can invite into our physical experience.

As a result, you’ll begin to deepen your ability to listen with clarity and sustain awareness of details outside your body.
