Amiglia is a place in Italy where you can stay to:
- Simply be
- Work on your art
- Conduct research
- Live together in community
- Remember your true nature
- Find inspiration to uncover your unique expressionPhilosophy
- Our true nature is not something to work on, but to uncover. It’s found not in form, but in the formless. At Amiglia, we examine what stands in the way of being free from identifications and attachments, fully committing to taking self-responsibility. All we can truly say about what we are is “I Am.” Not someone or something, just “I Am”—pure being. We welcome those who resonate with this principle.
- With full self-responsibility comes the realization that we are free to be who we truly are. As a community, we ask that everyone participate in the daily morning practice, but beyond that, you are free to socialize as much or as little as you wish.
-
When we realize our true nature, we understand that we are connected with all beings and all that is. Our true nature is Love, and this is naturally expressed in many different ways, one of which is through silence.
Daily Morning Practice
Everyone at Amiglia participates in the daily morning practice, which consists of half an hour of conscious movement with music followed by half an hour of silent meditation. This practice is accessible to beginners and stimulating for those who may struggle with consistency when practicing alone. It serves as the nucleus of our small community, connecting us all beyond words and work. -
Meals and Karma Yoga
We share three meals a day, and each person contributes an hour of karma yoga daily. Whether it’s cutting vegetables, doing dishes, or working in the garden, this is another way to contribute and connect with the community. -
Community Contributions
There is space to share music, propose activities, exchange treatments, or teach a class in something you’ve mastered, further enriching our collective experience.

Amiglia is evolving, and with that, space is opening up for new people to become part of this conscious community—as co-owners, (semi)permanent residents, community builders, or caretakers.
Alongside the five guest rooms, we have a few units that can be transformed into studios. If you feel drawn to living in a conscious community, surrounded by nature, with your own private space while sharing work, meals, and morning meditation—and wouldn’t mind that it’s in Italy—perhaps Amiglia is the place for you.
We welcome people with different skills and passions. Builders, gardeners, and cooks will have plenty to do here. But you could also join while working remotely in your current job, or as an artist using a barn to create your work. There are many possibilities at Amiglia.
People who are interested in living at Amiglia are asked to come as a guest first. There different options to do so. Start with having a look at the website and send us an email. You are welcome!
