What we do

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 expression

Philosophy
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.

How to join

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 are different options to do so. Start with having a look at the website and send us an email. You are welcome!

EDE France 2021 | Écovillage Sainte Camelle

We had to wait 2021, against all odds, to see the very first French EDE. How come it was only the 1st? Why never before? Well, we know why. FHF. This is why making an EDE in France was a tough challenge to take on. And yes, we did it! The group of participants we had for this EDE was so diverse that no clan emerged. It is quite usual that people gather by affinity in small groups but here, the entire group stuck together no matter what. The glue was really strong. Some personalities were more extraverted of course, but with a real care for other’s presence and voice. To the extent to become a real counter-power: if we made any facilitation mistake, if we failed to propose in the most careful way and if it felt like we were imposing anything, we would be immediately in trouble. We knew it came from a childhood school trauma for these people, who were very open about it. It was an amazing journey to navigate the facilitation process with such awareness. This context led to something incredible during week two: a very quiet voice, Pauline, protested against the fact that they had agreed to community agreements on the first day but now, she said, they had to review them by themselves and check if it reflects who they really are. We, as EDE crew members, opened a space in the program for them to take the time to do it. They used Sociometry, a tool taught to them before, to assess the agreements. They counted in percentage who agreed or not for each topic. They even discussed about the structure of the program and finally approved it. It was a very beautiful real-life example of self-empowerment. One of the most iconic moment of this EDE was the Derdian roleplay in which they completely immersed themselves for three hours. The participants playing the indigenous Derdians went in the forest and created another set of social rules to add to the existing 10 social rules, making it even harder for the engineers to understand them.

Curso de Permacultura

Curso Certificado de Diseño en Permacultura Del 8 al 26 de julio El Curso Certificado de Diseño en Permacultura de Can Bordoi, con 108 horas de teoría y práctica en casi tres semanas, es uno de los cursos más extensos que se imparten en la península – un aprendizaje de calidad, para descubrir, profundizar, experimentar y palpar la Permacultura con plenitud. La Permacultura, con su enfoque holístico, nos permite concebir y crear espacios sostenibles, productivos, bonitos, útiles y eficientes. La Permacultura es el diseño consciente de hábitats humanos productivos que tienen la diversidad, la estabilidad y la adaptabilidad de los ecosistemas naturales. Consiste en la integración armoniosa del paisaje y las personas, para proveer sus alimentos, su energía, su cobijo y otras necesidades materiales y no materiales de una manera sostenible. (Bill Mollison, co-creador del concepto de Permacultura) La Permacultura es allí donde un campo yermo se transforma en un bosque comestible, un huerto en una sinfonía de biodiversidad, una caja se convierte en horno solar, una ruina en una bioconstrucción de formas gráciles, una escala de vecinos en una comunidad intencional… Ven a aprender cómo diseñarlo y cómo hacerlo realidad en tu entorno. Durante los 17 días de curso aprenderemos los principios de la Permacultura, sus aplicaciones concretas, veremos cómo plantear el diseño y cómo desarrollarlo, tendremos tiempo para practicar en el huerto, para conocer varios proyectos de la comarca y aprender de los que ya tienen experiencia. Todo esto en el entorno privilegiado de Can Bordoi, una finca en plena naturaleza, con jardines y bosques, donde respirar, sentarse un rato, conversar, donde compartir música, y perfecta para liberar nuestra imaginación con un diseño permacultural. El curso se desarrollará en Llinars del Vallès, en una comarca donde proliferan las iniciativas y los proyectos, a apenas 45 minutos de Barcelona. Apúntate al CDP de Can Bordoi a p
